The marks look as though she has been carrying a long stick in her beak, and the paint has rubbed off on either side of the beak. I assure you this is not the case, this is just the appearance. She is - as far as the vet could ascertain - a Late May Amazon Hybrid, sold to us as a Yellow Nape, although she has very few yellow feathers anywhere! So she is very close to the 37th anniversary of her hatching date. The vet we used to go to has since retired, and we haven't found a replacement yet. Do we need to step up the search?
She is also sleeping a lot during the day, but this may be due to our habits changing due to retirement and the pandemic.
