Default Wild parrots in USVI

Does anyone know what species of parrots one might see in the wild
while on vacation in the US Virgin Islands, (all 3 islands)?
I've done a lot of searching with Google and have come up with next
to nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Angel

Default Wild parrots in USVI

Hi Angela
I don´t know what information you have found, but here´s some general
information from USVI.

"Buck Island is just one of St. Croix's natural wonders. The island is also
famous for its beautiful beaches, including Rainbow Beach and Cane Bay. The
St. Croix Environmental Association (SEA), an organization committed to the
conservation and preservation of St. Croix's natural wonders, provides
articles, lectures, workshops, and field trips on Salt River Bay. The SEA is
instrumental in preserving other parts of the island as well. An anonymous
benefactor helped the SEA purchase 60 acres of land at Southgate on the
island's east end to preserve a prime nesting wetlands habitat for birds and
endangered sea turtles. 96 bird species have been recorded at the site,
including 26 that are considered threatened or endangered in the territory"
End.

Us you see, they say there´s some 96 bird species, but not what type. If
they have about only 96 different types of birds, just a few of them will be
parrots if they really are there. Some pages show via a search ".. in the
air! Colorful parrots and dozens of exotic birds ..." They are talking
about egrets, pelicans, frigate birds, hummingbirds, sugar birds but no
specific parrot. I would write to their official Tourist Information website
and ask for information.

They're mighty tasty, that's all I know. Fire up the bar-b mate.
