B) The Blue Beauties
Blue Mutation Yellow-Naped Amazon were originally found in Honduras in the wild where they occur naturally. Two young Blue Mutation were found [in two consecutive years] and in another stroke of luck, they turned out to be a male and a female! They are all blue where they would normally be green and they are white where they would normally be yellow or red. When two of these Blue Amazons are bred together, all of the offspring are always blue.These naturally occurring color morphs are precious. They are somewhat larger than a normal Yellow-Naped Amazon.

A Grey is a wild animal removed from the wild, bred to be companions. They are long removed from being able to take care of themselves but not so long as to forget at times they're still wild...so it's up to us to make sure we protect them. We're the reason they demand all this attention. We removed them from the wild. Jay

Jay these are absolutely beautiful! Their colouring is so different to the other "blues" that you see in parrots. I am really enjoying the Amazon of the Week series - I hope there's hundreds more to see
Beautiful Rare Blue Zons. Thanks for posting this Jay!
The only thing upsetting about these beauties, is they are indeed VERY rare in the wild and like all rare birds in the wild. People can't wait to rob the nests of such an thus reduce the very low population in the wild.
Here is the background on these:
"At one point during the importation era, the search for the “mythical” Blue Amazon reached nearly epic proportions. Two wild pairs were found that produced this color mutation, but, although each pair occupied their same nests each season, a clutch with a blue baby might come only once in many years.
Voren’s vocation put him in Honduras at just the right time to acquire two young Blue Mutation Amazons from the separate wild nests in two consecutive years. In another stroke of luck they turned out to be a male and a female! At that time they were the only pair of Blue Mutation Amazons in the world. After years of expeditions, this pair was two of the only four specimens that existed in aviculture. The other two were long-term captive males that were proving difficult to pair with normally colored hens.
The years of anticipation became fruitful when Voren’s Blue Mutation Yellow-Naped Amazons became the first pair in the world to produce Blue Amazons in captivity. His project would allow him to place pairs of these fabulous birds in some of the worlds top breeding facilities. Three other reputable professional facilities have now successfully produced blue offspring from the blue bloodlines supplied by Voren’s efforts."
Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.

Wow - how unusual, but most beautiful bird - almost sky blue. How sad they are so rare.
Thanks for posting this Jayd.

How lovely!
It is so sad that in some cases, there are more pictures than actual birds...
Don't forget, New Amazon coming next week...
