Collared Crow
<em>Corvus torquatus</em> is a corvid in the family Corvidae that has not been formally evaluated under current IUCN Red List criteria. Historically, <em>Corvus torquatus</em> was treated as a valid species encompassing what is now often recognized as <em>Corvus pectoralis</em>, and the two names have been used synonymously in some taxonomic treatments. The relationship between these taxa reflects ongoing revisions within corvid systematics. <em>Corvus torquatus</em> is associated with aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments within its recorded range. Corvids generally exhibit complex social behavior, tool use, and omnivorous dietary habits. Specific diet, population estimates, population trend, and biological measurements for <em>Corvus torquatus</em> as a distinct entity are not documented in the available records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its conservation status has not been formally assessed, and the taxonomic status of this name relative to <em>Corvus pectoralis</em> warrants clarification in future systematic reviews.
Mealy Parrot / Mealy Amazon
One of the largest amazon parrots, mealy amazons have subtle powder-green plumage with bluish-grey head and a distinctive dusty or powdery sheen to the feathers that gives them their name. Found in lowland tropical forest from southern Mexico through Central America and across most of South America to Bolivia and Brazil. They inhabit humid forest and forest edges, traveling in pairs or small flocks. Listed as Least Concern globally though locally impacted by habitat loss and the pet trade.
