		The male is especially striking in its primarily turquoise plumage with salmon-pink lower abdomen, fl cap, yellow forehead band and bronze wings, boasting a diagnostic bright yellow shoulder band (2) (5).
		Golden-shouldered parrots are typically found in pairs or family groups of three to eight birds (5).
		Golden-shouldered parrots have been studied in detail for over 16 years, and during this time, land and fire management have been adjusted across much of its range to suit the parrot's ecological requirements (9).

	Reintroduction of Parrots in the Greater Antilles and South America
		The majority of parrots are forest-dwelling birds and rely upon the trees that are that are cut for timber.
		Parrots are vulnerable to nest predation by humans in habitats outside the deep forest.
		Although deforestation is stated as the major reason for decline of parrot populations, both of these reintroduction efforts occurred in areas where habitat was not a limiting factor and therefore the reintroductions were not limited by habitat availability.

	Yellow-shouldered Amazon Parrot
		This island is home to a population of Yellow-shouldered Amazon Parrots (Amazona barbadensis) and it was my intention to contribute towards the parrots’ conservation, gain some understanding of their situation and to determine what research would be necessary to benefit their future conservation management.
		Parrots are typically less active during the midday to early afternoon period however, as few watches were conducted during this part of the day the lack of recorded activity may be due to observer bias.
		Parrot offspring are known to remain with their parents for some time and Koenig (2001) specifically, observed yearlings accompanying pair males to the nest.

	The Eclectus Parrot, Eclectus roratus (P.L.S. MULLER 1776)
		Within the classifications of Psittaciformes (parrots) there are several categories used to separate or classify members of this order into groups of similar relationships and evolutionary or adaptable patterns.
		The male also has a very thin yellow edging to the tip of his tail that is almost non-existent from a top view but can be seen from the bottom view in contrast to its fl under-tail coloration.
		One of the many studies done on the Eclectus parrots under Dale's care was a computerized work done to discover what the natural temperatures used by incubating Eclectus hens and what the average times they turned their eggs during a 24 hour time.

		It is all white, except for its fl bill and legs and bright yellow feet (it is nicknamed "Golden Slippers").
		While both birds have bright green plumage, it's easy to tell them apart by the color of the head: the parakeet has a yellowish-orange face, while that of the parrot is yellow (and a smaller proportion of the face is colored).
		The best places to see parrots are in the cactus fields of the north and in fruit-bearing trees (especially mangoes).

	Amazon Parrots
		Amazon parrots comprise many parrots that range in size from the small spectacled (white-fronted) amazon to the quite sizable double yellow-headed and mealy amazons.
		Generally, they do not develop feather picking problems the way many parrot species do, but they can if they are neglected, confined in small cages for long periods of time, and not stimulated with interaction and/or toys.
		It is best to train amazons to stand on your hand and NOT on your shoulder because of their unpredictability during "mating season." It is important to learn to recognize their moods and not pick up an amazon when its eyes are flashing and the tail is flared.

	List of parrots (family) Summary
		But capture of wild parrots for the pet trade, along with the destruction of forests, have decimated populations of these birds, and many species are now threatened with extinction.
		For this reason, parrots must be examined by officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) before entering the United States, and hundreds of thousands of parrots have been destroyed to prevent the spread of psittacosis.
		One is the beautiful orange, yellow, and green Carolina parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) once ranged in large numbers from Florida to New York and Illinois, but the demand for its feathers by the millinery trade was so great that the species was hunted into extinction between 1904 and 1920.

	World Parrot Trust - Our Work
		With an estimated wild population of 2,500-10,000 individuals the Yellow-shouldered Amazon parrot is vulnerable due to habitat loss, drought, predation and intense poaching.
		The World Parrot Trust, in association with the University of Sheffield, initiated research on the Yellow-shouldered Amazon beginning in the fall of 2005 and is supporting the efforts of two PhD students, Sam Williams and Rowan Martin on Bonaire, an island off of the north coast of Venezuela.
		The island is home to an estimated flock of 650 parrots and the two students are investigating a variety of aspects of Amazon parrot biology including factors limiting nesting success and habitat use, life history patterns and aspects of breeding and mate choice.

		The western portion of the island, the Macanao Peninsula, is where most of the wild habitat remains and is the area first focused on by Jon Paul and Provita, the organisation he founded as a student fifteen years ago.
		The main threats were the capture of nestlings for the pet trade and destruction of the nesting habitat by sand mining operations.

		The island boasts over 190 species including the Lora (Amazon parrot), which is now protected against capture by international treaty.
		This area forms the center of the nesting range of the endangered Yellow-shouldered Parrot (Amazona barbadensis rothschildi) (estimated populations, January 2002, around 400), which is often confused with Caribbean or Brown-throated Parakeet (Aratinga pertinax xanthogenius).
