Two species of parrots are endemic to Dominica, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world:
- The imperial parrot, also known as the sisserou (Amazona imperialis).1
- The red-necked parrot (Amazona arausiaca).1
These birds inhabit the island's extensive forests, which are among the most well-preserved in the Lesser Antilles.1
