Bahama parrot (Amazona leucocephala bahamensis)

The Bahama parrot is a subspecies of the Cuban Amazon parrot. The Bahama Parrot’s scientific name literally means “white headed Amazon from The Bahamas.” Its white head and mostly green body make the Bahama parrot easily recognized. Historically, the Bahama Parrot occurred on seven different Bahamian islands including Abaco, Great Inagua, New Providence, San Salvador, Long Island, Crooked Island, and Acklins. However, today due to habitat loss and other threats, they are mostly found only on Abaco and Great Inagua Islands.
