 A recent addition to the island's avifauna is the little egret ("Egretta garzetta"), which has recently colonized the island from Africa.Early European visitors reported finding a species of parrot on the island, which subsequently became extinct.Currently parrots are represented by a few escaped or released individuals which have formed feral populations; most notably is a small population of the orange-winged parrot ("Amazona amazonica") which has become established among several "Roystonea" palms in the Belleville district of the capital Bridgetown.
