The White-fronted Amazon is a species of parrot that is well recognized because of the American coloring on its head. The body of the White-fronted Amazon may be green, but the face features a large quite spot on top, red on the cheeks, and blue on top of the white. Some members of this species also have a white or blue ring around their eyes, and all of the aforementioned colors intensify as the bird gets older. Like many species of parrots, some White-fronted Amazon birds have nothing but green on their bodies when they are born, but they eventually develop the colorful plumage they are known for.

The White-fronted Amazon typically nests in tree cavities to protect the eggs from harmful predators. They will breed in the spring, beginning around the middle of February and finishing in the summer. Most populations will stop their breeding around June or July. Once the breeding has ceased, a typical female White-fronted Amazon will lay three to four eggs in the center of the tree for hatching. Then the eggs will spend 26 days in incubation, followed by 60 more days around the nest. That is when they can go out on their own.

Most White-fronted Amazon are found in small flocks. They will travel in groups of 20 or less unless there is a large set of flocks habituating in one area. Some people have reported seeing hundreds of these birds habituating together, so it is possible for large groups to form. They just tend to start in smaller sets. The White-fronted Amazons are not shy birds, and they can easily be approached by humans. Of course, different birds have different personalities, but the species as a whole is open enough for people to approach them.

There are many areas of the world where the White-fronted Amazon. Many people have these birds as pets in their homes, but they are most commonly found in the wild. This species is primarily located in Mexico and Central America, but they may be found in other areas as well. They frequently live with Red-lored Amazon and other species like that, and they can be found in many different environments. Their habitats range from the cactus savanna's to the wet rainforests, depending on the trees and resources available. Even though deforestation has destroyed some of the homes for the White-fronted Amazon, their population has remained steady and should well into the future.
