The Yellow-headed Amazon (Amazona oratrix), also known as the Yellow-headed Parrot and Double Yellow-headed Amazon, is an endangered parrot of Mexico and northern Central America. It prefers to live in mangrove forests or forests near rivers or other bodies of water. It is a large green parrot with yellow head. The flight feathers are all tipped blue-black, with a patch of red on secondary feathers and at bend in wing. The bird has a curved yellow beak, grey legs and feet. Feeds on fruits, seeds, and buds. They have been kept as pets for centuries because their vocal abilities are generally considered to be bested only by the African Grey Parrot.
