Description
Total length c. 22 cm (8 ⁄4 in). As other members of the Pyrrhura picta complex, it is a long-tailed mainly green parakeet with a dark red belly, rump and tail-tip (tail all dark red from below), a grey-scaled chest, a whitish or dull yellow patch on the auriculars and bluish remiges. The forehead, ocular region and carpal edge are red in the nominate race (P. r. roseifrons). Its bare eye-ring is typically dark greyish (sometimes indistinct) bordered by yellowish-white. The remaining subspecies, P. r. peruviana and P. r. dilutissima, lack any bright red in their plumage, but most of their crown and ocular region are very dark brownish-maroon (often appear blackish), while the forecrown is blue. Their eye-ring is grey. All races have dark grey legs. 
Habitat
Rose-fronted Parakeet commonly inhabit tropical humid lowland forests, thriving in these dense canopies as well as adjacent areas. Their range encompasses broad regions of low elevation rainforests, observed from sea level up to 1650 meters. They are social birds, often found in pairs or small flocks, and they have a varied diet consisting of fruits, seeds, and flowers. Breeding pairs nest in tree cavities to raise their young. Despite the rose-fronted Parakeet's presence within protected territories, such as Manú National Park, their habitat preferences typically include biodiverse forested regions across the Amazon Basin.
