Observation details

High in a sycamore tree, squawking. I have been told that this is a blue-fronted X red-crowned parrot hybrid. As the pictures show, overall the bird is green, like the red-crowned parrot. However, the most striking feature of the bird is the bright yellow on the face, head, and shoulder. Although I got good looks at the bird I could see no yellow patch on the right shoulder, only on the left. In addition, the yellow on the head, cheeks, and face, had faint traces of red at the tips of some feathers. I did not see any blue on the bird.
