In Saint Lucia, the Saint Lucia Parrot, also known as the Jacquot, is a charismatic and iconic symbol of the island's lush beauty and conservation efforts. This endemic parrot, with its vibrant plumage and lively personality, holds a special place in the hearts of Saint Lucians.

The Saint Lucia Parrot is a stunning bird, characterized by its emerald-green feathers and striking red, blue, and purple markings. It thrives in the rainforests of the island, where it adds a splash of color and a melodic voice to the lush green canopy.

However, the Jacquot faced the threat of extinction due to habitat loss and illegal pet trade. Recognizing its importance, Saint Lucia has taken significant conservation measures to protect this beloved species. Efforts include habitat restoration and strict laws against poaching and keeping them as pets.
