Black-throated Mango

A large, striking hummingbird of tropical forests from southern Mexico to Argentina, black-throated mangos have dramatic sexual dimorphism — males display glittering black throat and breast with violet and green flanks and a bold purple tail, while females are white below with a central black stripe. Inhabiting forest edges, clearings, and gardens, they aggressively defend flowering trees. Males perform spectacular aerial display flights at treetop height. Listed as Least Concern across their broad neotropical range.

Yellow-crowned Parrot / Yellow-crowned Amazon

A large, robust amazon parrot found across a broad range from Mexico and Panama through the Amazon basin to Bolivia and Paraguay, yellow-crowned amazons are predominantly green with a variable yellow crown. They inhabit forest, woodland, and savanna and are adaptable enough to thrive in agricultural areas. Multiple subspecies are recognized with differing degrees of yellow on the head. Highly regarded as pet and aviary birds for their speech ability and social temperament.
