Yellow-crowned Amazon – Species Information

Yellow-crowned Amazon

Amazona ochrocephala ochrocephala

This taxon comprises 10 subspecies, spread from Mexico south to Peru and Brazil.  This species has an extremely large range, and, despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations).

White-tailed Black Cockatoo – Species Information

White-tailed Black Cockatoo

Calyptorhynchus latirostris

Between the 1970s and 1990s, the species disappeared from over one third of its range, with both local extinctions and reduced density in occupied areas, although it has recently been expanding into partially cleared forest habitat along the western fringe of its former range.  This species is listed as Endangered as it is assumed that the extensive loss of feeding and breeding habitat has resulted in a very rapid, and continuing, decline over three generations (45 years).

The EN listed Baudin’s Black Cockatoo (C. baudinii) has a narrower bill, and a markedly elongated tip to the upper mandible.

Senegal Parrot

Poicephalus senegalus

This species has an extremely large range and the population trend appears to be stable.  This species has been heavily trade; however despite international exports of vast numbers of birds, trade does not appear to have seriously impacted this species overall, with no significant national population declines reported.

This species occurs through the savanna woodland belt of West Africa, undertaking seasonal movements in at least parts of its range, moving into dryer areas during the wet season.  It has two slightly differentiated and one poorly differentiated subspecies.
