White-fronted Amazon

Scientific Name: Amazona albifrons

Fairly small parrot of tropical lowlands. Found in semi-open areas with scattered trees, woodland, and forest patches, in both drier and more humid areas. Note the white forehead, red face, and yellowish bill. In flight, males shows a red patch on the leading edge of the wing (on bigger parrots, both sexes have a red patch on the trailing edge of the wing). Lacks the dark cheek patch of Yellow-lored Parrot.

Their vocalizations are a mix of harsh screeches, chattering, and softer, more melodic whistles, often heard as they fly in small, noisy flocks or perch high in trees. These parrots are primarily seed and fruit eaters, foraging in the canopy and occasionally descending to the ground to feed. They form monogamous pairs and nest in tree cavities, where the female incubates the eggs while the male provides food. Their population status varies across their range, facing threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and capture for the pet trade.
