Red-necked Amazon

The red-necked amazon averages about 40 cm in length and can weigh between 550 and 650 g. Most of the bird's body is covered in deep bottle green feathers, and a wide band of yellow color runs down to the tip of its tail. It commonly has orange and reddish feathers on its throat. The bird sometimes has blue feathers on its forehead, around the eyes, and its head; these blue feathers transition to gray feathers at its upper breast. The beak and feet are both grey.

The red-necked amazon is only found in the Caribbean island of Dominica. It dwells in the canopy of rainforests. The birds are primarily located in the old-growth forests of Morne Diablotion (in northern Dominica) and Morne Trois Pitons National Park (in central Dominica), both of which are protected habitats. This species can sometimes be found at subordinate altitudes in agricultural regions and peripheral forests all the way to the northwest and northeast coasts. The parrots primarily eat citrus fruits, flowers, sprouts, seeds, as well as pastoral crops.
