The Maroon-fronted Parrot is a large, predominantly green parrot with a distinct maroon forehead and shoulder patches, closely related to the Thick-billed Parrot. It is endemic to northeastern Mexico.
Where to spot

How to spot

When to spot
Year-round, though their nomadic nature means their exact location can vary. Best observed when they are feeding in groups.

Like its close relative, the Thick-billed Parrot, this species relies heavily on pine seeds for its diet, leading to seasonal movements.
