The Red-lored Amazon is a common and widespread large green parrot found from Mexico to South America, recognizable by its red lore (area between the eye and bill) and yellow patches on the cheeks.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas from eastern Mexico to western Ecuador and northern Brazil.
How to spot
Look for the red lore and yellow cheek patches. Listen for their loud, raucous calls, often a series of squawks and screeches.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly noisy in the morning and late afternoon. It is a resident species.

Red-lored Amazons are highly intelligent and can mimic human speech and other sounds, making them popular in the pet trade, though they are best appreciated in the wild.
