| Although these pictures were taken at the Mayagüez Zoo, these parrots and macaw have been introduced in Puerto Rico. |
| With the exception of the endemic Puerto Rican Parrot, the species occurring in the region have been introduced, primarily as a result of caged birds escaping. A Guide to the Birds of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands by Herbert A. Raffaele |
