The '''Red-browed Amazon''' (''Amazona rhodocorytha'') is a species of [[parrot]] in the family [[Psittacidae]]. It is [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Atlantic Forest]] in eastern [[Brazil]]. It has been considered a [[subspecies]] of the [[Blue-cheeked Amazon]], but today all major authorities consider them separate species. It is threatened both by [[habitat loss]] and by being captured for the trade in wild parrots.

The '''Redred-browed Amazonamazon''' ('''''Amazona rhodocorytha''''') is a species of [[parrot]] in the family [[Psittacidae]]. It is [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Atlantic Forest]] in eastern [[Brazil]]. It has been considered a [[subspecies]] of the [[Blueblue-cheeked Amazonamazon]] (''Amazona dufresniana''), but today all major authorities consider them separate species. It is threatened both by [[habitat loss]] and by being captured for [[wildlife trade|the trade in wild parrots]].

==Distribution and habitat==

The Redred-browed Amazonamazon is endemic to tropical forests in eastern Brazil. It used to be widespread across the region but is now restricted to some of the larger remaining forest blocks. The largest of these is in the state of [[Espírito Santo]] and the bird is also present in three forest areas in south east [[Bahia]] and five in the states of [[Rio de Janeiro]] and [[Minas Gerais]]. Another ___location is in the north of the state of [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]] and a further one in [[São Miguel dos Campos]] in the east of the state of [[Alagoas]]. The rest of this state seems to be suitable habitat but it has not been observed to be present there recently.<ref name="iucn status 17 November 2021" />

==Behaviour==

The Redred-browed Amazonamazon feeds in small groups on fruit, berries, seeds and buds which it finds in the rainforest canopy. Breeding takes place between September and November. A pair of Redred-browed Amazonsamazons maintain a territory and the nest is usually made in a cavity in a tree, the same site being used year after year. In captivity, a clutch of four eggs are usually laid, [[Avian incubation|incubation]] takes 24 days and the young are [[fledge]]d 34 days after hatching.<ref name=ARKive/>

==Status==

The Redred-browed Amazonamazon used to be abundant in its rainforest habitat but its numbers appear to have decreased significantly. About 2,300 individuals were counted in Espírito Santo during a survey undertaken between 2004 and 2006 and it remains common at a few sites in the state such as on the island of [[Ilha Grande]], at [[Sooretama, Espírito Santo|Sooretama]] and nearby [[Linhares]]. The major threat faced by this parrot is habitat degradation with less than ten percent of the original forest cover remaining in Espírito Santo. Most of the land has been cleared of timber and converted to pasture and plantations. Another threat is the illegal collection of young birds for the international pet trade.<ref name="iucn status 17 November 2021" /> This bird is present in several wildlife reserves but is not effectively protected against [[poaching]] even there. For all these reasons, the [[IUCN]], in its [[Red List of Endangered Species]], has assessed the Red-browed Amazonamazon as being "[[EndangeredVulnerable species|EndangeredVulnerable]]".<ref name="iucn status 17 November 2021" />
