Yellow-faced Amazon

Alipiopsitta xanthops

The Yellow-faced Amazon, scientifically known as Alipiopsitta xanthops, is a striking parrot species native to South America. These medium-sized parrots are known for their vibrant plumage, which features a predominantly green body with a bright yellow face and forehead. They are highly social birds, often found in flocks within their preferred habitats. Yellow-faced Amazons are primarily found in tropical and subtropical forests, where they forage for fruits, seeds, and nuts. Due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade, their population is declining, and they are listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN.

Habitat: Tropical and subtropical forests
