THE YELLOWNAPED & DOUBLE YELLOWHEAD AMAZON ARE SUB-SPECIES OF THE YELLOW-FRONT AMAZON. HOWEVER THESE AMAZONS ARE ORIGINATED FROM CENTRAL TO SOUTH AMERICA, THEIR AVERAGE SIZE IS FROM 14-16 INCHES IN LENGTH WITH THE YELLOW DISTRIBUTED FROM THEIR HEADS DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THEIR BACKS & SHOULDERS. AS YOU SEE ABOVE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NAPES AND DYH. THEY ARE GREAT TALKERS AND COMPANIONS. LIFE SPAN IS AT LEAST 50 YRS PLUS! AMAZONS LIKE ALL PARROTS NEED ATTENTION HOWEVER ARE A BIT MORE INDEPENDENT. | |||||||||||||||||||||
