The populations of many wild Amazon parrots haven’t been quantified, but 58 percent of these parrots are now considered endangered as of 2021. As of 2020 there were 2361 yellow-naped Amazon parrots, and there are an estimated 9000 to 10,000 red-tailed amazons in the wild. On the other hand, the Imperial amazon is considered critically endangered, and there may be only 50 adult birds in the wild.
