Description
It is about 34 cm (13 in) long. Its coloring is mostly green, with blue cheeks from around the eye to the neck (less on young), a yellow-orange wing speculum, a yellowish crown, and orange lores (the region between the eye and bill on the side of a bird's head). The binomial of this species commemorates the French zoologist Louis Dufresne. Now monotypic, it formerly included the red-browed amazon as a subspecies. This species appears to live in pairs in the interior of tropical and subtropical forests while breeding. During the summer, Blue-Cheeked Amazon parrots migrate in flocks of varying size to coastal areas. In July and August, Blue-cheeked amazons move irregularly to coastal regions.

Habitat
The blue-cheeked Amazon primarily dwells in humid lowland forests, which provide a lush canopy for shelter and foraging. These environs are typically characterized by a rich biodiversity and dense vegetation. Additionally, blue-cheeked Amazon is known to inhabit forests in the foothills of the tepuis, unique tabletop mountains with distinct ecological conditions. Seasonally, the species can also be found in coastal sand ridge forests, indicating a degree of habitat flexibility.
