Yellow-shouldered amazon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Yellow-shouldered amazon
The yellow-shouldered amazon (''Amazona barbadensis'') also known as yellow-shouldered parrot is a parrot of the genus ''Amazona'' that is found in the arid areas of northern Venezuela, the Venezuelan islands of Margarita and La Blanquilla, and the island of Bonaire (Caribbean Netherlands). It has been extirpated from Aruba and possibly also Curaçao. ==Description== The yellow-shouldered amazon is mainly green and about 33 cm long. It has a whitish forehead and lores, and a yellow crown, ocular region and - often - ear coverts and chin. The bare eye-ring is white. The thighs and the bend of the wing ("shoulder") are yellow, but both can be difficult to see. The throat, cheeks and belly often have a bluish tinge. As most members of the genus ''Amazona'', it has broad dark blue tips to the remiges and a red wing-speculum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/species/index.html?action=SpcHTMDetails.asp&sid=1677&m=0 )〕 Its beak is horn coloured. In its range the yellow shoulder patch and extensive yellow on the head distinguish the yellow-shouldered amazon from other ''Amazona'' species, which have red or orange on the shoulder and less yellow on the head (the orange-winged amazon, which has as much yellow to the head as some yellow-shouldered amazons, has a blue ocular region). However, outside its range, several other ''Amazona'' species have as much - or more - yellow on their heads.
