ORANGE-WINGED AMAZON Amazona amazonica
Hot on the heels on the remarkable discovery of the new parrot Alipopsitta xanthops in Paraguay came this other large Psittacid also new to the Paraguayan avifauna. The parrot traders of the region fail to distinguish it from the similar and sympatric Blue-fronted Amazon, but the distinctive voice makes it easy identify for those with a keen ear. This species sounds more like a Pionus than it does an Amazona.
