The Puerto Rican Parrot (Amazona vittata), affectionatly know by us as Tata, is a bird endemic to the archipelago of Puerto Rico. Measuring 11–12 in, the Puerto Rican Amazon is a predominantly green parrot with a red forehead and white rings around the eyes.

The species is the only remaining native parrot in Puerto Rico and has been listed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union since 1994. Once widespread and abundant, the population declined drastically in the 19th and early 20th centuries with the removal of most of its native habitat; the species completely vanished from Vieques and Mona Island, nearby to the main island of Puerto Rico. Conservation efforts commenced in 1968 to save the bird from extinction. In 2006, the total estimated population was 34 to 40 individuals in the wild and 143 individuals in captivity.
