In the Andes it mostly ranges in elevation between 500 and 1,400 m (1,600 and 4,600 ft) but is found as low as 100 m (300 ft) and in Colombia often to 2,000 m (6,600 ft); in Venezuela it mostly occurs between 1,300 and 1,600 m (4,300 and 5,200 ft). It has been recorded as high as 3,000 m (9,800 ft). Its population is localized and spread out across its range.

has assessed the blue-fronted parrotlet as being of Least
Concern. It has a large range but its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. No immediate threats have been identified. "Uncommon to rare...much habitat remains, little trade exists, and it is relatively secure."

The blue-fronted parrotlet apparently breeds in May and June in Panama. Its season in
Colombia includes March and June but is not well defined. The few known nests were excavated in arboreal termite nests; one in Colombia was about 7 m (23 ft) above the ground.
