Puerto Rican Amazon

Amazona vittata

Critically Endangered

The Puerto Rican Amazon is a stocky, vocal parrot of forests and wooded country, feeding on fruit, seeds, buds, and blossoms in Puerto Rico. It usually nests in tree cavities or cliff holes and may make local movements as food trees fruit or flower. Fun fact: many parrots use strong hooked bills and zygodactyl feet together like a climbing-and-feeding toolkit.
