Amazona ochrocephala around 1930 In antique glass dome 56 x 33 x 19 cm Provenance: Swiss private collection The yellow-fronted amazon, also called yellow-crowned amazon or yellow-crowned parrot belongs to the family of the parrots. The bird species reaches a body length of 35 to 38 cm. Its natural range is in tropical rainforests of Brazil, Peru, Guiana States, Trinidad, Venezuela and Colombia. Yellow-fronted Amazons are distinguished by their loud voice and good imitation of ambient sounds. The Yellow-fronted Amazon was first scientifically described in 1788 by the German physician and naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin under the name "Psittacus ochrocephalus". The Yellow-fronted Amazon presented here is a particularly beautiful specimen thanks to its yellow crest and is protected by its antique glass dome.
