The Cuban Parrot (Amazona leucocephala), also known as the Cuban Amazon or the Rose-Throated Parrot, is a medium-sized mainly green parrot found in Cuba, the Bahamas and Cayman Islands in the Caribbean.
Interestingly, the Cuban Parrot lives in different habitats on each of the different islands where it is found. In Cuba it can be found in woodlands and dry forests It was once widespread throughout Cuba, but it is now mainly confined to the forested areas of the main island. It is thought that there are about 10,000 individuals of this species in Cuba.
I think this individual is feeding on figs.
I'm always amazed at what parrots can do with their feet!
