Red-tailed Amazon

Amazona rhodocorytha

The Red-tailed Amazon, also known as the Red-tailed Parrot, is a striking species of parrot found in South America. These medium-sized parrots are known for their vibrant plumage, featuring a predominantly green body with a distinctive red tail. They are highly social birds, often found in flocks, and are known for their playful and intelligent behavior. Their diet primarily consists of fruits, seeds, and nuts. Unfortunately, habitat loss and capture for the pet trade have led to population declines in some areas. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their remaining habitats and regulate the pet trade.
