    Help with Amazon - Ecuador

    I don't get an Orange-winged impression. The Orange-winged Amazons' I've seen have narrower heads & beaks. I get more of an impression of a Yellow -front or Double-yellow headed Amazon, though I don't know if they are native to Ecuador.

    Can't be a MOURNING Dove

    When I saw the pic my first impression was an unfinished bird, as if it reached a certain point in its growth and just stopped half way through. Just a theory, but we raised chickens ( I know it's not a dove , but it's still a bird)when I was growing up and occasionally we would get a sickly...

    Frog ID Assistance

    I'm with stonzo, it looks more like a toad than a frog. It doesn't look any leopard fron I've ever seen, their snouts tend to be more pointed and the liitle ones have a broad flat head of a toad. If you notice the length of the legs compared to the adult pic posted, they are considerable...

    Turtle ID Please? Central Southern Massachusetts, USA

    I wouldn't necessarily call them brave, they are more obstinate or bull-headed. And as stronzo said watch your fingers, they are not very greatful either, they'd just as soon as bite you as look at you. Happy turtling!

    Turtle ID Please? Central Southern Massachusetts, USA

    Looks like a snapper to me. I'm not sure of the species name or if there is more than 1 species of snapper in th U.S. It looks too little to tell the sex and you'd have to see the under side of the tail and cloaca to be sure. It's a cutie.

    can you tell me what bird this is?

    It probably is more common in the pet trade or here in Oklahoma, I don't know which. The breeders here call them Quakers too. I first learned about them working in a pet store and found when doing research on the species that they were more commonly called Monk parrots in literature and on-line.

    What kind of finch?

    I agree with House, and male at that, the females don't have the red coloring. Though he does look a little ratty.

    Quaker/Monk, it's called by both names.

    can you tell me what bird this is?

    It's a Quaker Parakeet, probably an escapee. They are very common in pet stores, most are captive bred & hand reared.

    Does anyone know any thing about the Smokey Jungle Chicken Frog? We have only been able to find a small amount of info on-line. Currently we are trying to determine if they are communal or not, but any addition info will be helpful. Thanks

    Black Chinned Hummingbird

    Are there any more distiguishing features, between the Ruby-throat and the Black chinned humming birds besides the slight difference in the shape of there primaries. I know their throats are different, but unless they are in the right light both of their throats look dark.

    Black Chinned Hummingbird

    That's really great. I don't have a digital camera, but I have taken a couple of pics with the camera I do have, unfortunately I have to wait to develop them before I can see if they turned out or not. Thanks for the info. I'll report it as soon as I can confirm it with a pic.

    Black Chinned Hummingbird

    I have, what i'm sure is, a male Black Chinned Hummingbird visiting my hummingbird feeders. When I looked him up in the National Geographic bird guide it shows his range does not reach this far east of Oklahoma. I'm in Broken Arrow, OK, which is in the north eastern corner of OK. Is this an...
