Turquoise-fronted Amazon
Amazona aestiva
The adult Turquoise-fronted Amazon inhabits forests, savannas, palm groves, and wooded farmland across south-central South America. It flies strongly between roosts and feeding sites, using its hooked beak to eat seeds, fruits, nuts, flowers, and buds. Pairs often nest in natural tree cavities, where they raise their young. Its green plumage is marked by a turquoise-blue forehead and yellow face patches.
