When we bought Jade from the pet store up the road, they told us she was a Yellow Nape Amazon. HA! Well, why does she have blue feathers coming in on her head then? Yellow napes do not get any blue if I am correct? Maybe she got mixed up, because I think we have a Blue Front Amazon.. It doesn't matter, but I would like to know what she is! Anybody have any advice on blue feathers and if she may be a blue front? I looked on google, but I really didn't find any information... Im stumped. I think she has us fooled. The pics I looked up with the Blue Front amazon's, their blue feathers came in when they were little. Jade has not only one, but several blue as well as yellow feathers. Help?

Im not too sure about the amazons but I did find a site that has a little bit of info on the mutations.http://www.hillcountryaviaries.com/color_mutations.htm

I wish I knew enough about amazons. Gosh, what a shock that must of been.

Nope...she is a yellow naped. Blue fronts have a yellow patch along with the blue on the front of their faces...yellow napes can have blue feathers too...zons can be so confusing!

Really? Im glad we know now. I thought the pet store got her mixed up or something and we got the wrong baby from the breeder! Her whole nape on the top of her head is blue though. And there is only one little yellow feather. She is so confusing to me!
