Yellow-crowned amazon

Review bycanaryswear· 2026-11-04

It has a yellow, curved bill, like that of the white-fronted parrot; the head is crested. Its breeding place is especially [the province of] Cuextlan. These are its chick feathers—herb-green, dark, dark green on its back, and about its neck, and its tail, and its wings. And those at the tip of its wing-bend are green [and] yellow; they cover its flight feathers. And on its breast, on its belly, its feathers are yellow, dark yellow. They are called xollotl. And its tail and its wings are ruddy. In crags, in tree-tops, on water plants it nests, lays eggs, sits, hatches its young. There it is captured [to be] tamed. When the young yellow-headed parrot is already developed, it turns yellow, it becomes very yellow. It develops fluffy feathers. When completely feathered, then it is called toztli.
