Scaly-naped Parrot / Scaly-naped Amazon

A large, predominantly green amazon parrot with distinctive dark-scaled nape feathers and a patch of red on the wing, scaly-naped amazons inhabit humid montane forests of the northern and central Andes in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru at elevations of 600–3,000 meters. Relatively little known compared to other amazons, they are found in pairs or small flocks feeding on seeds, fruit, and flowers in cloud forest. Listed as Least Concern.
