CLASS AVES

White-fronted Amazon

Amazona albifrons

This species is named for the bright white patch of feathers on its forehead, although the amount of white varies from individual to individual. They have mostly green plumage with some blue colouring on their outspread wings. They have bright red colouring around their eyes and blue colouring behind the patch of white on their foreheads. Like other large parrots, the white-fronted parrot has a long potential life span, usually around 40 years. White-fronted parrots eat mostly fruits, berries, plants, seeds, nuts and corn.
