white faced amazon - amazona albifrons -loro frente blanca

or, as we call them, the common mandarin thief!
When the mandarins are out, I often threaten to take a photo with my 600mm to see them off. This is taken with that very one, an old MF 600mm 5.6. A very good lens for garden birds :) not heavy and tack sharp.

Isn't it amazing just how many green parrots the Americas have? So hard to tell them apart. Posted 9 years ago

  OH IT IS EASY :) If they are loud and in the grapefruit, oranges or mandarins, it is them!
  Seriously, we have three types of green parrots here. I will dig out photos of the other two! Posted 9 years ago

The White-fronted amazon

The white-fronted amazon also known as the white-fronted parrot, or by the adopted slang term spectacled amazon parrot, is a Central American species of parrot. Not to be confused with the red-spectacled amazon. They can imitate a range from 30 to 40 different sounds. Like other large parrots, the white-fronted parrot has a long potential life span, usually around 40 years.
