Mercenary Amazon - A Southern American parrot in its adopted habitat

Mercenary Amazon (loro verde) is an elegant green bird that was meant to be sold in pet shops in Spain, but escaped from the Port of Seville years ago, and has been living in the parks, gardens and green areas near the city since then, and will be happily ever after as the subtropical climate of Andalusia should fit it more or less. For its natural habitats, see BirdLife International Data Zone, and for its calls, listen to a Macaulay Library audio recording.
