The first and only known hybridization between an Amazon and pionus species. Five of these hybrids were observed in a feral flock over a period of 5 years by Spanish scientists. These Maximilian and orange-winged hybrids tended to resemble one parent over the other, resulting in two main phenotypes: The first of these phenotypes, the
Extremely hard to find due to the rarity of cuban amazons. Individuals have light orange facial markings with blue-green underneath.
A hybrid with scattered yellow on their face and slight blue between the eyes and on the forehead. Can be identified as having an orange-wing parent by the color on the cheeks and shape of the head.
Some blue can be seen on the lore and forehead. The pictured individual appears to have little orange-wing influence except for slightly lightened cheeks. Compared to other amazon hybrids, they are relatively common in captivity.
Only a small handful of these hybrids have been hatched in captivity. They appear similar to orange-winged amazons, though with orange markings rather than yellow.
Hybrids have prominent yellow-orange lores and blue-tinged foreheads. Their beaks are typically a dark muddy color, and their bodies are almost fully green.
Appears as an orange-winged amazon with faded facial colors. As the bird matures, the coloration will likely brighten.
The combination of an orange-wing’s yellow-orange and blue forehead and a white-front’s white forehead results in a full yellow forehead for the hybrid. It appears somewhat similar to yellow-crowned amazons, but with extra red and blue coloration around the eyes and flight feathers.
A dry green bird with a faded yellow crown and yellow cheek markings. Like the parent species, they will always have muddy-colored beaks.
A yellow crown is present, combined with blue brows and faded orange cheeks. The beak may darken slightly as the hybrid matures.
