The Yellow Shouldered Amazon is a social parrot that congregates in flocks of 8-80, but is basically shy as it nests in hollow trees or clefts in the rocky cliffs. They dine on fruit including cactus fruit. They are basically green with dusky black on feathers' edges, with white and yellow around the eyes, and yellow splashed on the shoulders and thighs. Their wings have a red stripe and the outer edges grade to violet-blue.
