Ara araruana
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). Ara ararauna has been heavily traded.

Amazona aestiva
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).
There are two subspecies, identified by red (A.a.aestiva) and yellow (A.a.xanthopteryx) on bend of wing, but with a broad range of intergradation.

Psittacus erithacus erithacus
There are two strongly differentiated subspecies, Congo African Grey (P.e. erithacus) from Central Africa, and Timneh African Grey (P.e. timneh), darker and with upper mandible dark red tinged black, from West Africa.
This species is listed as Near Threatened because a recent analysis suggests that up to 21% of the global population may be harvested annually (during 1994-2003, over 359,000 wild-caught individuals were reportedly exported from range states). In combination with the rate of ongoing habitat loss, the species is therefore suspected to be declining moderately rapidly.

Amazona ochrocephala oratrix
One of the largest of the amazons. Listed as a species Amazona oratrix, by IUCN. Amazona oratrix has undergone a dramatic population decline, judged at 90% since the mid-1970s, to 7,000 birds in 1994.

Calyptorhynchus lathami
This species has a very 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).
There are three poorly differentiated subspecies: Subspecies erebus is found in east-central Queensland. It may number c.5,000 birds, and range and abundance are probably increasing. Subspecies lathami has a patchy distribution in Queensland, Victoria, and King Island, Bass Strait. Its population of c.12,000 individuals is declining very slowly, and its range is contracting though its extent of occurrence is stable. Subspecies halmaturinus is now restricted to Kangaroo Island and numbers 70 breeding pairs. It is increasing due to conservation management.

Amazona viridigenalis
Also known as the Red-crowned Amazon, the combination of high levels of exploitation for the cagebird trade, long-term habitat loss and reduced density estimates indicates that this species is declining very rapidly.
