Red-necked Amazon, A species of Amazon parrots
Botanical name: Amazona arausiaca
Genus: Amazon parrots
Red-necked Amazon (Amazona arausiaca)

Description

The red-necked amazon gets its name because of its orange and reddish feathers found on its lower throat. The bird also sometimes has blue feathers on its forehead, around the eyes and its head. Although, the blue feathers verge to wither away to gray feathers at its upper breast. The rest of its body is covered in deep bottle green feathers and a wide band of yellow color runs down to the tip of its tail. The beak and feet are both grey. These birds average about 40 cm in length and can weigh between 550 and 650 g.

Feeding Habits
Red-necked Amazon consumes a diet primarily consisting of fruits and seeds. They forage mostly in the morning, employing their strong beaks to access food. Their feeding technique is adapted to efficiently extract seeds, which is a distinctive dietary preference.
Habitat
The red-necked Amazon primarily resides in moist forests, typically thriving in altitude ranges from 300 to 800 meters above sea level. Although this species is more commonly associated with dense forests, it is known to occasionally adapt to and forage within more open and cultivated areas.

Species Status

Red-necked amazon numbers have been diminishing through the 20th Century, primarily as a consequence of hunting for food and, to a lesser degree, the pet trade, and, more recently, by the clearing of forests for agriculture. Luckily, hunting and illegal trade no longer pose a serious threat, and this buoyant bird has made a notable recovery, both in range extension and overall population size, after its population size decreased to an all-time low of as few as 150 individuals in 1980. Through substantial conservation action, this species has recovered to a far healthier 750 to 800 birds (2003 population estimates). Due to this, the species seems to have successfully survived Hurricane Maria in 2017, which devastated the entirety of Dominica; all of the captive birds were safe after the hurricane, and several wild birds were also sighted flying around the island.
