This avian species, characterized by vibrant plumage and a distinct marking on the nape, belongs to the Amazona auropalliata family. These parrots are readily identified by their primarily green body, with a striking blue accent on the wing feathers and a yellow patch located on the back of the neck. This coloration serves as a key identifier within the Amazona genus.
These creatures are valued for their intelligence, ability to mimic sounds and speech, and their potential as companion animals. Historically, their striking appearance and vocal capabilities have made them sought after within the pet trade. Their adaptability to human interaction, coupled with a long lifespan, contributes to their popularity. Conservation efforts are, however, crucial given habitat loss and unsustainable harvesting practices.
