The orange-winged amazon (Amazona amazonica), also known as the orange-winged parrot and loro guaro, is a large amazon parrot first described by Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1766. The name of the Orange-winged Amazon is derived from a distinct yellow-orange on the bend of the wing and the speculum (secondary feathers of the wings). It also has a yellow-orange on the crown and on the front of the cheeks. It is a resident breeding bird in tropical South America, from Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago south to Peru, Bolivia and central Brazil. Its habitat is forest and semi-open country, damp woods, mangrove swamps, and bamboo clumps. They eat fruits, seeds, nuts, berries, blossoms and leaf buds.
