Black-billed Amazon
The Black-billed Amazon (Amazona agilis) is a parrot endemic to Jamaica. Sometimes called the Black-billed Parrot, this Amazon parrot is mostly green with small patches of red on the wing and sometimes flecked on the head. Its bill makes it easy to separate from most other Amazons, including the Yellow-billed Amazon, which also lives in Jamaica. It is the smallest Amazona parrot at 25 cm (10 in).
