Until now, the Ecuador Amazon parrot was considered to be part of a group not seen as a conservation priority.
It is estimated that only 600 of the birds remain in the wild, which need two habitats - mangroves and dry forests - in order to survive.
The reclassification was based on years of work by a researcher at Chester Zoo.
