Sammy (the male) is the biggest amazon I've ever seen, I'm sure he'll manage it :-)

Hi, in Loro Park Tenerife several species of Amazona are successfully bred in groups up to 5 or 6 pairs. The young birds are brought up by their own parents and when they fledge, I think they have a perfect social trainingschool in a setup like this.
As long as all three of your birds are getting along well, I think there is no problem at all.
Are these amazons members of the same species?

No, the male is a bluefront, and the females are a bluefront and an orangewing. Will they just be friendly as a pack or will he mate with the "wrong" one?

In this situation there is a possibility the male aestiva will mate with the amazonica.
All members of the genus Amazona are highly social birds
so your amazonica is better of in company of the two aestiva,
rather than housed alone!
BUT
when it comes to breeding amazons the issue is quite different.
1) Breeding larger parrots is a relative slow proces so it
might take several years to be succesful.
2) Import of wild caught parrots will be reduced further and further and the pressure on wild populations is no longer tolerable.
3) Therefore we will have to be careful in managing our birds in aviculture.
4) In my opinion crossbreeding between different species of Amazona does not contribute any good to the general stock of Amazona in captivity.
Notes:
Everyboby should manage his own birds like he or she thinks it is best way.
I'd say, when you can make a choice in your birds management, breed aestiva and do not allow the amazonica to produce hybrides, but try to breed amazonica with an amazonica male.
