The Circle of Life: Yellow-headed Amazon parrot (Amazona oratrix belizensis) falls victim to a Boa imperator
30 feet up in the canopy, an endangered Yellow-headed Amazon parrot (Amazona oratrix belizensis) falls victim to what is the most expert arboreal ambush predator in Belize, a Boa imperator. Yellow-headed Amazons have dwindled to less than 5% of their original population because of the illegal pet trade, and so what may simply be the harsh reality of jungle life has more profound consequences now.
