The lilacine amazon (Amazona autumnalis lilacina) or Ecuadorian red-lored amazon[2] is an amazon parrot native to Ecuador in South America. According to the IOC World Bird List, it is still considered to be a subspecies of the red-lored amazon,[3] although Birdlife International considers it to be a separate species, as Amazona lilacina[4] - as does the International Union for Conservation of Nature for the purposes of the IUCN Red List, rating the lilacine amazon as critically endangered.[5]
The lilacine amazon is generally smaller than its related subspecies, with a black beak and more subdued coloring.[6][7] Lilacine amazons are said to make favorable companion parrots because of their gentle, affectionate nature and agreeable temperament.[7]
The lilacine amazon is a small parrot, approximately 34 cm long when mature, with primarily green plumage. Like the red-lored amazon, it has red lores and yellow cheeks; its distinguishing features include a fully black beak, and lilac-tipped feathers on its crown.[7][8]
The lilacine amazon is known for its gentle and timid nature. In the wild it avoids confrontation with intruders, opting to seek cover in nearby foliage until danger has passed. It usually spends time in small- to medium-sized groups, with which it roosts at night; many birds pair off monogamously within the larger group, and they are most frequently seen flying in pairs.[9]
The diet of the lilacine amazon consists primarily of fruits, nuts, berries, and seeds. Like most parrots, it possesses a powerful beak; its dexterous tongue also helps to break down and consume a diverse suite of foodstuffs.[9]
Sexual maturity is reached at three or four years of age. Like most parrots, the lilacine amazon is a monogamous breeder and a cavity nester. The hen will lay two to four eggs in a tree cavity and incubate them for a period of three weeks; the young fledge about two months after hatching.[7][9]
As with many other parrots, the male will keep the female and chicks nourished during their time in the nest by consuming additional food and regurgitating it for them.[7]
The lilacine amazon is native to the tropical dry forests of western Ecuador north of the Gulf of Guayaquil, extending to Nariño in extreme south-western Colombia adjacent to the Ecuadorian border, where it intersects with the subspecies A. a. salvini.[8]
Lilacine amazons have become well regarded as companion parrots, intelligent with a personality often described as gentle, affectionate, and loyal.[10] In captivity, they enjoy the company of people, and will often form a strong bond with their owner. They are not known as exceptional talkers, but most individuals are able to learn to mimic at least a few phrases.[7] The World Parrot Trust recommends that the lilacine amazon be housed in an enclosure with a minimum length of 3 metres.[2]
The lilacine amazon has only recently become popular and common in the pet trade, formerly being quite rare.[6] At least one captive breeding program has been established in Europe to increase the bird's numbers.[9]

El loro amazona de lores rojas (Amazona lilacina) es una especie de ave que integra el género Amazona. Este sitácido habita en zonas selváticas del noroeste de Sudamérica.
Este taxón es endémico del oeste de Ecuador.
Este taxón fue descrito originalmente en el año 1844 por el médico cirujano, zoólogo y naturalista francés René Primevère Lesson.
Durante décadas fue tratado como formando una subespecie de la especie A. autumnalis, es decir, Amazona autumnalis lilacina.[2][3] Para mediados del año 2014 se lo considera una especie plena.[4][5]
En la Lista Roja elaborada por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) este taxón es categorizado como “en peligro de extinción”,[1] al encontrarse su geonemia afectada por la deforestación.

Amazona autumnalis lilacina is een ondersoort van de geelwangamazone (A. autumnalis). Het is een papegaaiachtige uit de familie papegaaien van Afrika en de Nieuwe Wereld (Psittacidae). Het is een bedreigde, endemische ondersoort amazonepapegaai in Ecuador die volgens BirdLife International de status van soort heeft.
De vogel is 31 tot 35 cm lang. Deze ondersoort lijkt sterk op de ondersoort A. a. salvini. De bevedering in het "gezicht" is meer egaal en helder geelgroen en de rode vlek is groter. Ook hebben veren op de kruin rode randen.[2]
De vogel komt voor in Ecuador en de leefgebieden liggen in mangrovebos en droge tropische bossen. Deze leefgebieden worden bedreigd want sinds het midden van de 20ste eeuw moeten in de kustgebieden mangrovebossen plaatsmaken voor garnalenkwekerijen. Ook de droge bossen worden steeds meer geëxplodeerd en daarnaast is er handel in gevangen papegaaien. De populatiegrootte werd in 2018 geschat op 600 tot 1700 volwassen individuen. De vogel staat als bedreigd op de Rode Lijst van de IUCN.[1]

O Amazona autumnalis lilacina é uma subespécie de Papagaio-diadema. Em 2009, o zoológico de Chester, tentou criar uma espécie de "agência de namoro" para tais animais, na tentativa de procriação em cativeiro.[1]
