"High in the remote mountain forests on the small Caribbean island of Dominica hides a national treasure: the Imperial Amazon, known to local people as the Sisserou. This striking purple-and-green parrot is Dominica's national bird, found on its flag and coat of arms. It's also the largest parrot in its genus, Amazona, with a wingspan of about 30 inches, and a bird that can reach very old age — up to 70 years in captivity — in the company of its lifelong mate."

Dominica was originally inhabited by the Kalinago people, also known as Island Caribs, before the European powers started exploring and colonizing the Lesser Antilles.  In this case, the French took possession of Dominica (which explains why it’s pronounced Dom-in-EEK-ah, i.e., akin to the French Dominique) (although purportedly named thusly by Cristoforo Colombo, himself having “passed by” on a Sunday in November 1493), but subsequently lost the island to the British during the Seven Years’ War.  Now known particularly for its natural wonders and beauties, the imperial amazon parrot is native only to Dominica and is featured, as the national bird, on the national flag adopted in 1978 upon independence from Britain.  [Fun flag fact: the depiction of the sisserou parrot makes the Dominiquais flag one of only two flags sporting the color purple.]  [The other being Nicaragua, which has a rainbow in the emblem.]
