Guacamayo Frenticastaño

La guacamaya frenticastaña es una guacamaya mediana de los bosques tropicales de América Central y del Sur, desde el sur de México hasta Bolivia y Brasil. Tiene plumaje predominantemente verde con la frente castaña, manchas rojas en los hombros y plumas de vuelo azules. La más pequeña de las verdaderas guacamayas, habita bordes de bosques, sabanas y bosques secundarios y con frecuencia ataca cultivos, lo que la hace localmente impopular entre los agricultores. Son populares aves de aviario, pero las poblaciones silvestres enfrentan presión por la captura y la deforestación.
