The yellow-naped amazon or yellow-naped parrot (Amazona auropalliata) is a widespread amazon parrot in the family of Psittacidae. It inhabits the Pacific coast of southern Mexico and Central America. Like all parrots, this parrot readily mimics sounds, and in captivity, this includes human speech, which is probably the reason it is popular in aviculture.
