Description
The Tres Marías amazon is 35 to 38 cm (14 to 15 in) long. The sexes are the same. Their upperparts are pale grass green with some darker feather tips and paler uppertail
Distribution and habitat
The Tres Marías amazon is restricted to the Islas Marías, a small archipelago about 100 km (62 mi) off the coast of Nayarit. It primarily inhabits forest but has been noted roosting in Agave plantations.[9][10]
Behavior
Feeding
The diet of the Tres Marías amazon has not been described separately from that of the yellow-headed parrot
Breeding

Vocalization
As of early 2023 xeno-canto had no recordings of Tres Marías amazon vocalizations and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library had very few.[13][14]
In aviculture
In aviculture, a variety of yellow-headed amazon has been selectively bred to maximize the yellow coloration of the head. Called the "Magna", it closely resembles the Tres Marías amazon.[15]
