Scaly-naped Amazon

Amazona mercenarius

The Scaly-naped Amazon, also known as the Mercenary Amazon, is a medium-sized parrot found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It has a predominantly green plumage with a distinctive scaly pattern on the nape and neck. These intelligent and social birds are often seen in flocks, foraging for fruits, seeds, and nuts. They are known for their raucous calls and vocalizations, which they use for communication within their flocks. The Scaly-naped Amazon is facing habitat loss and capture for the pet trade, leading to a decline in its population in some areas.
