Just been pondering over Zak, my Red Lored Amazon.......or so i think.........

Ive been looking at pictures of Red Loreds on the internet and Im not sure that he really looks like one, ive also looked at Mexican Redheads (or Green Cheeked Amazons, as they are also known as) and he doesnt look like one of them either?!

Heres my Zak (what a cutie)

heres a mexican redhead ive found on the internet

and heres a picture of a Red lored

I know parrots of the same species wont look exactly the same as each other and will have slightly different feather colouring etc, I just thought maybe Zak would have a bit of yellow in his cheeks if he is a red lored?????  Can we have a vote please on what he looks like the most?!

he sure smells nice though mmmmmmm lol

I know this is an old post, but i have only just found this site.

Could Zak be a subspecies of the Red Lored Amazon - the Salvin's Amazon, they are slighly bigger than Red Lored Amazons, and do not have the yellow cheeks.
