Red-necked Amazon

Amazona arausiaca (Müller, PLS, 1776)

Psittacidae — African & New World Parrots

Red-necked Amazon, Amazona arausiaca, is a parrot of Dominica in North America, where it is confined to the island and breeds in the canopy of rainforest. It is also known locally as the jaco parrot or jaco. The bird is marked by orange and reddish feathers on the throat, which give it its name. It is mainly associated with old-growth forest in Morne Diablotion and Morne Trois Pitons National Park, and may also occur in agricultural areas and edge forest at lower levels.
