Amazona imperialis belongs to the family Psittacidae (Parrots). Both adults brown/purple forehead and lores, becoming browner on cheeks to ear coverts; burgundy/maroon crown and neck, washed with green/blue, the feathers edged with black; breast and abdomen dark lilac/purple, the feathers edged dusty black; olive/green lower underparts, feathers tipped green/blue; upperparts dark green, feathers edged black; secondary feathers 1-3 dark burgundy at bases, the remaining secondaries green; red carpal edge; tail red/brown. Bill grey/horn. Eye-ring grey/brown, eye orange/red. Once abundant within its small range, this species has been undergoing dramatic declines since the late 19^th century due to the combined effects of habitat loss and trapping. As a consequence of the establishment of conservation measures in the 1990s, the species increased slowly from fewer than 50 to over 200 mature individuals. After Hurricane Maria hit Dominica in September 2017, the population plummeted again, likely to an all-time low. The frequency of intense hurricanes is projected to increase, with potentially severe consequences for the species. Imperial Amazon has therefore been uplisted to Critically Endangered. As in adult but duller; face dull red/brown; occiput to hindneck green; area behind cheeks tinged with green. Eye was brown. Wide variety of calls including whistles, shrieks and squawks. Often loud, but also can be squeaky.
