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.
Amazonian Parrotlet
The Amazonian Parrotlet is a small parrot weighing about 42 g with a 16.4 cm wingspan, found in bamboo stands and riverside forest in western Amazonia. It moves in flocks, feeding on seeds and foraging within dense bamboo thickets.
