Red-necked Amazon

Amazona arausiaca

The Red-necked Amazon, or Amazona arausiaca, is a striking parrot species found in the Caribbean. These birds are known for their vibrant plumage, which features a predominantly green body with a distinctive red patch on the back of the neck. They are highly social and often form large flocks, displaying remarkable vocal abilities. Their diet primarily consists of fruits, seeds, and nuts. Red-necked Amazons are typically found in tropical and subtropical forests, as well as wooded areas near rivers and mangroves. Unfortunately, habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade have led to population declines, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
