The St Vincent Amazon, Amazona guildingii also known as St. Vincent Parrot is a large, approximately 40cm long, multi-colored amazon parrot with a yellowish white, blue and green head, greenish-bronze upperparts plumage, grey feet, reddish eye, and violet blue-green wings and tail feathers. Both sexes are similar. The young has lighter plumage and brown iris.
The St. Vincent Amazon is endemic to moist hill forests of the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent in the Lesser Antilles. Its diet consists mainly of fruits, nuts, flowers and seeds. The female usually lays one to two eggs.
The Nicholas Wildlife Aviary Complex, located within the Botanic Gardens St. Vincent maintains a vital captive breeding and conservation program to conserve the St Vincent Parrot.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, very small population size, limited range on one island, trapping for cage bird trade and occasional natural disasters, the St. Vincent Parrot is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix I and II of CITES.
