The shop guy said the Jamaican had been paired and the mate died. The guy lost his job and gave the bird to the rescue part of the shop. They said the bird talks and seems interested in people so he's available for adoption.

What a stunning bird! Hope someone on the forum gets him, so we can all see subsequent photos of this handsome boy
I love the colors on the babies too. Those will be some pretty birds when they get full grown!

Beautiful guy! He does have some similarities to the Cuban I had, and Hispaniolan also. Yellow Lored wow. Amazing these are found in a bird store!

Wow, I've never seen a Jamaican Amazon (Amazona collaria) or a Yellow Lored (Amazona xantholora)in person. BEAUTIFUL coloration!!! They are indeed VERY rare, especially the Jamaican.Thank you so much for the photos, Karen.

Definitely gorgeous!!! Makes me wonder now where the bird came from! Seems Aves International has bred these 'zons.

Gotta say, if I were in the position to have a second bird, I might be heading down to TX right now for this guy. He is absolutely stunning! I know I haven't ben able to stop thinking about this bird since you posted his photos. I wonder how such a very rare bird became available for sale rather than been donated to a zoo or into some sort of breeding program?

They are not popular as breeders here in the US. There're several similar species ,all come from "Island" habitats. The issue with "island"species is that they aren't exposed to many common diseases that "mainland" birds have evolved with. That and the fact limited population with limited habitat equal big protection. Nice find , however (IMO) would be better off used as a breeder in restoration project in it's native habitat.
