The Bahama Parrot, Amazona leucocephala bahamensis is a subspecies of the Cuban Amazon (also known as the Cuban or Rose-throated Parrot), Amazona leucocephala (lit. white-headed Amazon). It is the only species of native parrot found in The Bahamas, and its green body and loud screeching make the Bahama Parrot very recognizable to those who are lucky enough see it. Previously found on several islands in The Bahamas, there are now only two populations of Bahama Parrot, which are found on Abaco and Inagua, and a very small third population of about 10 estimated individuals existing on New Providence. The Bahama Parrot is threatened by habitat loss and the illegal pet trade, and it is estimated that only about 10,000 of these birds are left in the country.
