The yellow nape of this Parrot at once distinguishes it from all its allies as it is a 

 prominent feature in all adult birds. With the exception of the island of Euatan in 

 the Bay of Honduras, C. auropalliata is exclusively found on the western side of the 

 mountains of Central America from Tehuantepec to Costa Eica, and wherever it occurs 

 it is abundant in the woods, and is also to be seen in captivity in many of the houses of 

 the natives, as it is readily tamed and a fluent talker. 



Its presence in Euatan, so far from its usual haunts, is singular, and may possibly 

 be due to the multiplication of birds escaped from domestication, which had some 

 time or other been brought from the west coast.
