The Black-billed Amazon, ''Amazona agilis'', is a parrot Endemic (ecology) 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. The Black-billed Amazon lives in mountainous rainforest, usually limestone rainforest, feeding on fruit, seeds, and nuts, and will take cultivated fruit like mangos, papayas and cucumbers as well as wild fruits. The Black-billed Amazon was once as common as the Yellow-billed Amazon, but has become much rarer due to deforestation and hurricane damage fragmenting its forest, poaching for food and the pet trade in wild parrots. ===References=== del Hoyo,J., Elliot, A., Sargatal, J., eds (1992) ''Handbook of the Birds of the World, Volume 4'', Sandgrouse to Cuckoos, ISBN 84-87334-22-9 Parrots
