[3] The species is divided into three subspecies[4] with slight differences in colour and size: 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.

Their breeding season is usually in the spring, starting in February and ending in the summer (in June and July in most areas).

When tame, it is typically a sociable, affectionate, playful and intelligent bird that can learn to talk and often forms a close bond with its owner.

[2] However it is also a loud, noisy bird that is unsuitable for apartment dwelling and requires regular exercise, play opportunities and social interaction in order to thrive.
