Yellow-Naped Amazon

Amazona auropalliata, often known as the Yellow-Naped Amazon or Yellow-Naped Parrot, is a common amazon parrot that is regarded as a subspecies of the yellow-crowned Amazon (Amazona ochrocephala). It lives along Central America's and southern Mexico's Pacific coasts. Due to a rapid loss throughout the entirety of its range, the IUCN Red List recently classed it as Critically Endangered. Over the past three generations, yellow-naped amazons have lost more than 92 percent of their population.

The ability of this species to contextualize human speech is well documented. Yellow-naped amazons have the ability to copy a broad variety of words and accurately reproduce them. Yellow-naped amazons begin talking at an early age. Most of the words and phrases they learn come from their owners. Amazons with yellow napes typically bond with just one person. Therefore, the contact between the owner and pet is the most crucial element in determining this parrot's capacity for communication. Amazons with yellow napes are skilled at imitating melodies they hear around them.
