3 The Caribbean Islands biodiversity hotspot is one of the world's greatest centers of unique biodiversity.
4 Caribbean Endemic Birds St. Lucia Oriole Jamaican Tody Hispaniolan Parakeet Bahama Woodstar Cuban Trogon Adelaide s Warbler Grenada Dove
5 They are unique irreplaceable aspects of the region s natural heritage. Cuban Bee Hummingbird West Indian Whistling- Duck Red-Billed Streamertail
6 Caribbean birds provide invaluable ecological services. Seed Dispersal Pollination Black-faced Grassquit Rodent & Insect Eaters Vervain Hummingbird American Kestrel Carrion Feeders
7 All native species are gateways to understanding and enjoying nature. Green-throated Carib Caribbean Flamingo
8 Unfortunately Caribbean birds face many threats. Brown Pelican Mongoose Seabird death from plastic ingestion
9 These threats include the capture, killing, and trade of several native species. Retaliatory Killing Local Pet Trade International Trafficking-Trade Hunting (Food and Sport)
10 Birds that eat garden or commercial crops are persecuted region-wide:
11 Keeping pet parrots is popular regionally, but illegal.
12 The illegal international trade is big business! Jamaica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and other Caribbean countries are losing endemic birds to a thriving global illicit trade
13 Smuggling: Florida and the Caribbean Painted Bunting Birds smuggled into Florida from Cuba, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and other Caribbean islands. Painted Bunting population in Florida declined by 3.9% between 1966 and Painted and Indigo Buntings may no longer be traded in Mexico. Indigo Bunting Cuban Bullfinch
14 Jamaican Woodpecker Jamaica Jamaican Tody Blue Mountain Vireo Yellow-billed Parrot
15 Trinidad and Tobago
16 Cuba Cuban Bullfinch
17 Dominican Republic Parrot chick Parrot nest damaged by poacher Nesting habitat and poached nest Hispaniolan Parrot
18 Cuba Formerly 15 species of macaws in the Caribbean All now extinct including the Cuban Macaw Last known pair killed in 1864 Extinction caused by hunting for food and capture for the pet trade Despite strong laws, Cuban Parrots are still captured and kept as pets
19 Bird smuggling poses a potential health risk to native bird, agriculture and human populations.
20 Capturing and smuggling birds involves horrific cruelty
21 Hunting of resident and migratory birds Port Louis Swamp Guadeloupe, Caribbean
22 Whimbrel named Machi
23 Heading towards extinction? Lear s Macaw - Brazil Imperial Parrot - Dominica

26 Personal actions to help birds: Never buy wild-caught birds! Report the capture and sale of wild birds to the authorities. Hispaniolan Parakeets
