Mealy Parrot Amazona farinosa Scientific name definitions

The Mealy Parrot is a large Amazona of Central America and northern South America. It is predominantly green with a bold white eyering of bare facial skin and a red patch in the secondaries. Though common throughout its range, the species has suffered some declines due to trapping for the captive wildlife trade and habitat loss. Mealy Parrots are often detected in flocks by their large size, thick wings, short tails, and their variable raucous, squawking calls.
