About These Birds
Black-billed Amazon
The Black-billed Amazon is an Endangered parrot endemic to Jamaica, one of the island's two native amazon parrots, recognized by its mostly green plumage with a distinctive dark bill and red wing patches visible in flight. It inhabits the remaining areas of primary montane forest in the interior of the island. Habitat loss, illegal capture for the pet trade, and hunting have drastically reduced its numbers.
Barred Parakeet
The Barred Parakeet is a small parakeet of the family Psittacidae found in humid montane forests from southern Mexico through the Andes to Bolivia. Weighing about 53.2g with a wingspan of 20.9cm, it has green plumage with distinctive black barring on the wings and mantle. It moves in flocks through the forest canopy, feeding on seeds and berries.
