i think that orange faced amazon is an illigers macaw... i think.. not sure.. could be a yellow faced macaw as its deffinatly a macaw. if its a yellow face.. i suggest we go for our pitchforks and torches if anyone rats this guy out about having "illegal birds" coz yellow faced macaws are endangered.. It's actually a Red Bellied Macaw. Quite rare in aviculture and notoriously difficult to breed. Many of the birds originally imported into the USA before the ban on importin birds was implemented would just up and die for no reason. They're diet was rumored to be the main culprit as they have specific dietary needs They are very similar to the Illiger Macaws. The Illiger Pairs that we have here do have some yellow coloration on their face patches however it's not as much as the RB's. Like the Red Bellies the Illigers have a patch of red on their stomachs and the Illigers also have red patch on their rump. J Thamks Justin for correcting me on that . I was only going on wot i was thold they were buy another guy there at the time  |

I've had people selling Yellow Collar McCalls & Scarlet McCalls. Canary Wing Amazons ( yes.... and they were insistant it was an Amazon!!!! ) the Canary Wings are of the Brotogeris family of birds. |
