Red-spectacled Amazon

Amazona pretrei

The Red-spectacled Amazon, also known as the Cherry-headed Parrot, is a medium-sized parrot native to South America. It is characterized by its vibrant red forehead and crown, which contrasts with its green plumage. These social birds are often found in flocks, and they are known for their playful and intelligent nature. They have a varied diet consisting of fruits, seeds, and nuts. Due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade, the Red-spectacled Amazon is considered vulnerable in the wild.
