The Puerto Rican parrot (Amazona vittata), endemic to Puerto Rico, is the only native parrot in the United States and is classified as a critically endangered species. There are two captive populations of A. vittata in Puerto Rico located in the Iguaca Aviary in El Yunque National Rainforest and the José L. Vivaldi Aviary in the Río Abajo Forest. To characterize the microbial communities of A. vittata’s stool, 21 stool samples from captive birds were collected, DNA extracted and sequenced using Illumina MiSeq. Sequences were processed by removing host sequences (A. vittata genome) and low-quality reads. Taxonomic and functional profiles were generated using MG-RAST. The most abundant domain was Bacteria (96%), followed by Virus (3%), and Eukaryota (0.6%). Among the functions in the microbiome, the most abundant was related to carbohydrates (14%), followed by clustering-based subsystems (12%), protein metabolism (8%), and amino acids and derivatives (7%). This dataset describes the stool microbiome of A. vittata using a metagenomics approach. Data can be used to develop holistic conservation strategies for A. vittata and other endangered birds, as well as to search for bioprospects with potential biomedical and biotechnological applications.
