Description
The white-fronted amazon, at about 25 cm (9.8 in) long, is the smallest of the amazon parrots. 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 (in some individuals almost like spectacles) and blue colouring behind the patch of white on their foreheads. Together with the red-spectacled amazon and the yellow-lored amazon, it is the only amazon species in which adult males and females easily can be distinguished by external appearance (sexual dimorphism): Males have bright red feathers on their "shoulders" (alula), while females have green "shoulders". Juveniles have pale grey irises and less red on their face and the white area is replaced with a smaller yellowish area.

White-fronted Amazon, a social forager, primarily eats fruits, seeds, nuts, and corn. They seek plant materials and occasionally consume protein sources. Notable for a varied diet, white-fronted Amazon adorns a unique preference for certain berries and seeds.
Habitat
White-fronted Amazon inhabits dry, semi-open landscapes such as deciduous forests, scrublands, and thorny woodlands. They also thrive in coastal palm and fig thickets as well as cacti-filled areas. Preferring lowland to foothill elevations up to 1850 meters, white-fronted Amazon can adapt to a variety of habitats including savanna woodlots, mangroves, and occasionally agricultural land. They have an affinity for drier environments overlapping with related species in wetter forests.

Distribution Area
The white-fronted amazon is native to Central America and Mexico; and is most often seen in small flocks of up to 20 birds. They are seen in a variety of different habitats from wet regions such as rainforests, to drier areas such as cactus savannahs. In the wild, they are not shy and people are often able to approach them. Flocks may congregate and people have seen groups that number into the hundreds. These groups may also contain flocks from other species such as the red-lored amazon. A population has been seen in southern Texas, probably escapees, and a small feral population has been observed living in southern California. Introduced breeding populations have also been reported in Puerto Rico.
