Amazona ventralis

The Hispaniolan amazon, scientifically known as Amazona ventralis, is a species of parrot native to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. These parrots are known for their vibrant green plumage, with red on the forehead and blue on the edges of their wings. They have a strong and hooked beak, which they use to crack open nuts and seeds. The Hispaniolan amazon is a social bird, often seen in flocks, and is known for its loud and raucous calls. They primarily inhabit forests and wooded areas, and are often found in mountainous regions. Unfortunately, the species is classified as Endangered by the IUCN due to habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade.
