Appearance
The yellow-fronted parrot is about 28 centimetres long and is mostly green with the upper parts being a darker green, the tail being olive-brown, and the legs a dark grey-brown. The face is orange-yellow. When two subspecies are recognized, the nominate is believed to have yellow to its head and face, while in "P. f. aurantiiceps" some of the yellow is replaced with orange. The upper beak is brownish-grey and the lower beak is bone coloured, the irises are orange-red, and bare eye-rings and cere are grey. Male and female adults have identical external appearance. Juveniles are duller than the adults with a mostly grey head, brown irises, and only a small amount of yellow on the front of the face including on the forehead.Cultural
The yellow-fronted parrot was unknown in aviculture until recently. They appeared in some Slovakian collections and have bred well in captivity. They can now be found in several European countries. Both subspecies are represented.References:
