This is a great facial portrait,
but sadly there's no ID with it.
LOL! No offense, but I'm sure there's at least a few people that have looked at it an said, "Very nice - a parrot. Hmmm I wonder what kind?"
Unfortunately, many of this family have a similar look and to make matters more difficult, ya can't see much of it's plumage.
From what I do see:
Green w/yellow forehead patch,
bare skin ring around Red/Orange/Yellow eyes,
yellow/orange from the cere of the upper mandible (beak) leading to edges tipped in black).
I'd say it's probably a YCA - Yellow Crowned Amazon (Amazona ochrocephala).

I hear you, but personally I know absolutely nothing of birds, a couple of nice people wanted to feature this photo in their groups and I gladly let them, that's all

NP.. and yes I agree - gorgeous.
Their eyes are wild.
We have 2 birds and while neither is a 'Zon, I am kinda familiar with a variety of parrots.
This one looks very much like a friend's Yellow-naped Amazon Tasha.

Hi Daniel,
Love this photo--so much personality comes through here. I edit a monthly literary journal called 'Long Story, Short' where we publish short stories & photography. I've sent you a Deviant Art message regarding this--I think this photo would go really well with the story in our next issue. Let me know what you think!
Best wishes,
Jennifer Matthews
