Red-necked Amazon  (Amazona arausiaca)

The red-necked Amazon is endemic to the Caribbean island of Dominica, West Indies, where it is now distributed island-wide, from the coast northeast of Morne Diablotin through the Central Forest Reserve and widely across the Morne Trois Pitons National Park in the south (5) (6) (7).

Found mainly in the canopy of rainforests, chiefly between 300 and 800 metres above sea level, but occasionally to 1,200 metres (5) (8). Formerly a regular visitor to coastal areas, the red-necked Amazon still descends to low elevations in October to December in search of food, and sometimes ranges into more open, cultivated land (mainly citrus crops) (5) (8).
