The Yellow-naped Amazon is a medium-sized parrot native to Central America, particularly found in countries like Costa Rica and Nicaragua. It is known for its vibrant green plumage and distinctive yellow patch on the back of its neck. This species typically measures about 12 to 14 inches in length and has a strong, curved beak that helps it crack open seeds and nuts. These parrots are highly social and often live in flocks, which aids in their communication and foraging. The Yellow-naped Amazon is also known for its ability to mimic human speech and sounds, making it a popular pet among bird enthusiasts. However, habitat loss and illegal trapping pose significant threats to their populations in the wild.
