Amazona frentiazul

Una de las cotorras más populares como mascotas en el mundo después del periquito y el loro gris africano; las amazonas frentiazules se reconocen por su brillante cara amarilla con frente azul y manchas rojas en el hombro. Nativas del centro de América del Sur en Brasil, Bolivia, Paraguay y Argentina, habitan bosques, zonas arboladas y palmares. Altamente inteligentes, con gran capacidad de mimetismo y habla, han sido mantenidas como mascotas desde el siglo XVIII. Las poblaciones silvestres enfrentan presión por captura.
