Editing Amazon parrot (section)

===Extinct hypothetical species===
Populations of amazon parrots that lived on the Caribbean islands of [[Martinique]] and [[Guadeloupe]] are now extinct. It is not known if they were distinct species or subspecies, or if they originated from parrots introduced to the islands by humans, so they are regarded as [[hypothetical extinct species]]. No evidence of them remains, and their taxonomy may never be established.  Populations of several [[parrot]] species were described mainly in the unscientific writings of early travelers, and subsequently scientifically described by several naturalists (to have their names linked to the species that they were proposing) mainly in the 20th century, with no more evidence than the earlier observations and without specimens.<ref name = Fuller1987>{{cite book |title = Extinct Birds |pages = 131 |first = Errol |last = Fuller | year = 1987| publisher = Penguin Books (England) |isbn = 0-670-81787-2}}</ref> An illustration of a specimen termed "[[George Edwards (naturalist)|George Edwards]]' parrot" has sometimes been considered a possibly distinct, extinct species, but it may also have been a yellow-billed or Cuban amazon with aberrant colouration.<ref name="Aberrant">{{Cite journal|last1=Hume |first1=J.
