The Red Lored Amazon is primarily green. It has a red lore (forehead), yellow cheeks, and blue crown. The primary flight feathers are typically deep red and navy. The Red Lored Amazon has a personality as beautiful as his face.
 

Known to be quieter than many of the other Amazons, they are also reputed to have good temperament. With an ability to talk, and striking coloration, they are highly prized by those who share their lives with them.

One of the smaller Amazons, about the same size as a Blue-Fronted, they make delightful companions when raised properly and socialized. As with all Amazons they can get a bit louder in the spring, and more aggressive, due to hormonal fluctuations.

The red-Lored Amazon is almost always described by their owners as, affectionate and cuddly. The affection and loyalty displayed by the Red-Lored Amazon is only one reason why they make such wonderful pets, another is their striking beauty. Their colorful faces have caused many to claim they are one of the most beautiful Amazons.The Red-Lored is quite spectacular when he spreads his beautiful wings. The rainbow of colors include secondaries that turn a marvelous deep blue at the tips, and the first five feathers display red wing speculum.

Like all parrots, the Red-Lored Amazon requires lots of attention. They are intelligent animals and will become bored and unhappy if left alone too long. Plenty of toys and a spacious cage are also a must. As with any parrot, a well-balanced and healthy diet is the best way to keep your parrot feeling his best; also follow with regular veterinary checkups.
