Blue Fronted Amazon

Blue Fronted Amazon parrots are among the most common birds kept as pets, and despite the name are a bright lime green. Also known as the Turquoise Fronted Amazon or simply the Blue Fronted Parrot, these birds are normally between 15 and 17 inches long from the beak to the tip of the tail feathers.

The bird, whose scientific name is Amazona aestiva, gets its common name from the blotch of blue found just above its beak on the front of its head. They have touches of bright red on their shoulders and flight feathers and have black beaks and gray feet.
