The double yellow-headed amazon (Amazona oratrix) also known as the yellow-headed parrot and yellow-headed amazon, is an endangered amazon parrot of Mexico and northern Central America. In the 1940s in Veracruz, flocks from a few birds to one hundred or more flew from their feeding grounds in the forest to their roosting sites on the coastal plain. The name Double Yellow-headed originates from the bird's unique plumage, which features two distinct areas of yellow. It separates this species from its close relatives in the "yellow-headed complex" by possessing both a bright yellow crown on top of the head and a yellow patch on the nape (neck). For an hour before dusk varying numbers were always in view. Large flocks are now a thing of the past. It inhabits dense riverine woodland and cultivated areas with trees and remnant forest patches, thorn scrub and forests.
