Ok, hmm... Jendayas actually have zero yellow, except for one very interesting situation. There are a lot of wild Jendays (imported stock) that have a few yellow back feathers close to the nape. Otherwise, any yellow feathering down the back would indicate that the Jendaya is probably not pure.

What clues me in that she's a Sunday is the shade of green on her wings and lower back is very much like a Sun's body/tail 'green', also on Sunday's, it's common for the yellow to line the feathers versus become filled in. There's also the fact that she's green to her nape with a very defining line there, which is a Jendaya trait. Her head and chest are also far too yellow versus 'egg yolk', which is a Sun trait, not a Jendaya.

Here's a picture of 4 babies, from the left; Jendaya, Sun Conure, two pineapple GCC's:



Ignore the GCC's... both the Jendaya and the Sun are about 7 months old. They're both very typical of their species, so you can see the difference in their chests. You can look at my sig and see the almost emerald green on Xaf's back, which is also typical of Jendayas.

You got some great pics of your very pretty bird....
My creativity has had me drawing cartoons for the last little while, but I saved a couple of those as source pics for sketches when I feel like drawing something more realistic.

LOL! My souce pic file is starting to get kinda chunky though...
