National Bird

This vibrant, endemic subspecies of the Cuban Amazon parrot is a symbol of the islands' unique biodiversity. It can often be spotted in the wild, particularly at dawn and dusk.

With a wingspan of up to 3.3 meters (10 feet 10 inches), it is one of the world's largest flying birds and holds significant cultural importance in Andean folklore. These scavengers play a vital role in their ecosystem.

This iconic bird, with its enormous, vibrant rainbow-colored bill, is a common sight in Belizean rainforests. Despite its size, the bill is surprisingly light, made of hollow bone, helping it regulate body temperature.

Inagua National Park is home to over 50,000 flamingos, a remarkable conservation success story after their numbers dwindled in the early 20th century. These vibrant birds are the national bird of The Bahamas.
