    BLUE FRONTED AMAZON

(Amazona aestiva )

   Blue Fronted Amazons are large Amazon parrots native to Brazil.   They are excellent mimics and some develop extensive vocabularies.  Blue Fronts are outgoing like most Amazon parrots and love to be in the midst of things as they exhibit their talking and singing abilities.  Gentle in personality, well socialized Blue Fronts are good companions for all ages.  A large sized Amazon cage is suitable for a Blue Front as well as frequent baths.  They adore water.   Toys that can be chewed as well as acrylic toys that are brightly colored should be included in a Blue Fronts enclosure.   These toys as well as frequent time out the cage will help keep boredom at bay.
