Voici Jack, mon amazone de 2 1/2ans, que je viens d'acquérir. Très joueur.... et geulard :-)

Ce n'est pas une amazone de Cuba mais une amazone à front blanc (peut être nana).
et cui'la ? un nana aussi
voila

p'tit concours de beauté
'"Voici Jack, mon amazone de 2 1/2ans, que je viens d'acquérir. Très joueur.... et geulard " c'est parce que c'est le début par contre faut pas les mettre en couple point de vue decibel, surtout si les deux crient, c'est intenable surtout en appart
Les deux autres photos sont des amazone de cuba?Comment vois-tu cette différence....?
Je pensais qu'un amazone à front blanc était justement un amazone de Cuba.
Merci
Bonjour Roberto !
ce ne sont pas des amazones de Cuba ni ton Jack comme le dit Jsf ni mes cocos mais des amazones front-blanc. Mais c'est intéressant vois-tu car car j'ai vu une illustration "d'amazone front-blanc en noir et blanc" par le naturaliste Buffon qui montre plus-tôt une amazone de Cuba....
ta "confusion" (pardon pour le terme) me semble plutôt de nature historique et naturaliste, bref une confusion de type "ornithologique ", une option buffonienne si on peut dire bien intéreessante car vois-tu je me demande si Buffon n'avait pas repéré l'amazone de Cuba comme une premiere amazone front-blanc, qui, elle aurait été redécouverte plus-tard, bref, une affaire de dénomination. :lol: :lol:
Mais ceci dit, ton Jack est superbe ... :roll: :lol:
