Summary
[edit]| Description | Watercolour of an unidentified Jamaican parrot ("George Edwards' parrot"), possibly a colour variant of a known Amazona species, perhaps A. collaria. George Edwards description: "A very uncommon parrot from Jamaica. Drawn from Nature the size of life. The inside of the wings and the under side of the tail is of a durlis (the meaning of this word is obscure) yellow, the colours of the upper sides casting faintly through them. The bird was lent to me by Dr. Alexander Russel and is preserved in his collection. It was shot in Jamaica and brought dried to England. The people in Jamaica did not remember ever to have seen one of this species of parrots before. Some of the feathers have their tips red and others have them yellow. The feathers on the under sides, back and rump have yellow with fine transverse lines of red." | |||||||||||||||||||||||
