An Endangered Mexican Parrot Is Thriving In Urban Areas Of South Texas
<p>After conducting a high-tech survey of red-crowned parrots, <em>Amazona viridigenalis</em>, a team of scientists were surprised to discover that these parrots are actually thriving alongside human communities in southern Texas. Considering that this species is endangered in its native range in northeastern Mexico, their remarkable ability to live alongside humans makes them unique.</p>
<p>The red-crowned Amazon parrot is also known as the green-cheeked Amazon parrot or the Mexican red-head. It is mostly olive green with bright red feathers on its forehead and crown, a dark blue streak behind its eyes, bright green cheeks, and a horn-colored beak and ceres. Males and females look alike.</p>
