Orange-winged Amazon

Amazona amazonica

Habitat:

The Orange-winged Amazon is a noisy bird and makes loud, high-pitched screams. It eats fruit and seeds, including the fruit of palm trees and sometimes cocoa. It roosts communally in palm and other trees, and large numbers can be seen at the roost sites at dawn and dusk. It is becoming common as a feral bird in the Miami, Florida area, and there are colonies in London, England.

It looks like an Orange-winged Amazon (Amazona amazonica), they are native to South America. But there is a lot of parrots so I'm not pretty sure.
