This avian species, native to Jamaica, is characterized by its vibrant green plumage, distinctive black beak, and blue-tinged forehead. As a member of the Amazona genus, it exhibits typical parrot traits, including strong zygodactyl feet and a vocal nature. Its presence contributes to the biodiversity of its limited habitat.
Its ecological role within the Jamaican ecosystem is significant. The species aids in seed dispersal through its feeding habits, contributing to forest regeneration. Historically, habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade have presented significant threats, leading to conservation efforts aimed at preserving its population and natural environment.
