Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot

The Blue-fronted Amazon is similar to the Orange-winged Amazon but is larger overall. The Blue-fronted has a patch of blue just above the beak on the forehead. There are yellow patches at the top of the wings and blue and red streaks at the tips. The rest of the body is green.  They are native to Bolivia, Brasil, Paraquay and northern Argentina.  This information was taken from http://animal-world.com .

At Cub Creek Science Camp we have a Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot named Bonita.  Bonita is a very sociable bird that loves for you to talk to her.  During Science camp she will ask our campers "What's the matter?"  when they walk up to her cage.  She likes to be taken out and will step up on a sturdy stick.  Peanuts are one of her favorite treats. She is housed in the Animal Learning Center during summer Science Camp and is one of the animals that our campers adopt for a week during the Science Camp Adopt an Animal Program.
