How to identify White-fronted amazon
You can recognise the white-fronted amazon straight away by its strikingly white forehead, which stands out clearly from the rest of its plumage. A red patch stretches over the bill and its head looks compact and powerful. Its cheeks shimmer green, while its wings flash with distinctive red and blue feathers. The strong bills are pale grey and rounded.
At around 25 centimetres in body length, the white-fronted amazon is one of the smaller amazon parrots. Its slender, supple body and short tail feathers give it an elegant silhouette. In a flock this species flies with fast, shallow wing beats, showing off the strikingly coloured undersides of its wings.
