Tres Marías Amazon

The Tres Marias Amazon is a subspecies of the Double Yellow-Headed Amazon. Its original habitat was three islands off the western coast of Mexico called the Tres Marias Islands. This subspecie is quite rare in aviculture and is often confused with the Magna Double Yellow-Headed Amazon. Although the Tres Marias is often confused with the Magna because of the amount of yellow on the head, they are actually quite different. The Tres Marias is a bit smaller, has no barring on the chest feathers, has a bluish cast to the chest feathers, and has little or no yellow on the wing epaulets.
