I would say baby is a yellow front, percy is an orange wing and and charlie yellow headed, which probably shows how little I know about ammies lol

My one aim is to serve the parrots in my care, to help those to weak to defend themselves, and bring alittle happiness into their lives, I prefer parrots to people but can handle them in moderation :)

hmmmmm yeah kerry theres LOADS of different ammies far more than you realise . the one on the end (charlie?) with the blue on his head and yellow cheeks defo looks like and orange wing, he looks like my OWAs

i would say baby is blue fronted?? only because yellow fronted (or yellow crowned, same thing)dont tend to have any blue on their faces (which yours has got a little bit of), and blue fronted amazons have quite a bit of yellow on the tops of their heads
and as for the one at the top...percy??? your guess is as good as mine, ive got my trusty amazon book out here and theres nothing even similar!!!!

hope this helps?????

good guessing game though it kept me thinking for a few mins lol

Blue Fronted Amazons have scarlet on the wings and tail. Orange Winged (clue there) have orange on wings and tail and yellow cheeks (they used to be called Primrose-Cheeked). The speckly one looks like a cross of some kind - no idea what with what, sorry. My BF has scarlet shoulders, but some other BFs have yellow sholders.He also has yellow on his head. My OW has blue on her face, as well as yellow. OWs tend to be slightly smaller than BFs in general. Most OWs look a little bit scruffy - dragged through a hedge backwards. They're all noisy. They're all very, very pretty.

on reading some more Blue Fronts are called that because of their blue beak not the colour of the feathers so that's got to be what Baby is
