The Puerto Rican Amazon (Amazona vittata), also known as the Puerto Rican Parrot or Iguaca, is the only bird endemic to the archipelago of Puerto Rico belonging to the Neotropical genus Amazona.
Although they once could be found throughout Puerto Rico, they are now confined to two main areas – Rio Abajo Forest and El Yunque (green highlights). I saw these parrots just outside the gate of Rio Abajo Aviary (I was there because I had an appointment). With less than 100 in the wild (not including breeding population), I was especially honoured to see them!
