• Step 2:
  The orange winged Amazon parrot has a beak that is a combination of grey and beige at the base and darkens to black at the tip.
• Step 3:
  The orange winged Amazon parrot’s face mask is bright yellow. The parrot’s eyes, which are a dark red brown color, are accented by a thin line of pale blue or lavender feathers that accentuate the eyes.
• Step 4:
  When the orange winged Amazon parrot is in flight, you can easily see how the parrot got its name. In addition to some orange and blue showing in the unfolded wings, you will also notice that there are also some brilliant orange feathers on the underside of the tail. Orange winged Amazon parrots will frequently display their wings when they are climbing, something they love to do.
• Step 5:
  Young orange winged Amazon parrots look a little different from their mature parents. The chicks have brown eyes that will lighten as they grow. They are mostly pale green with just a few pale orange and blue feathers.
