The Red-spectacled Amazon, a parrot native to Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, is recognized for its subdued green plumage accented with sparse red spots on the head and more vivid red around the eyes, forehead, and wing bends, with males typically exhibiting more red than females. The bird is approximately 13 inches long and thrives in diverse habitats, from subtropical forests to dry savannas and plantations. Notably, it partakes in seasonal migrations within Brazil, traveling for the seeds of the Brazilian Pine. These birds are known for their tranquil nature and preference for Angustifolia seeds in the wild. Currently classified as 'Vulnerable' by the IUCN and listed in CITES Appendix I, the species is battling habitat destruction, particularly the loss of Araucaria moist forests, and the illegal pet trade. Historical records indicate the species' range has contracted by at least 10%, and it is estimated that about 500 chicks are poached annually for sale in Brazilian cities, signaling a serious challenge for their conservation​​​​​​​​​​.
