Thanks for the welcome.
Hi, Poeia is beautiful!
![]() I'm not sure where you are located, but several years ago, I was outside a local shopping center here in Southern Ca. (Southwest US) and in a large tree right there, was a HUGE flock of Mitered Conures! Wild conures foraging, it was fun to see so close. We have several species of conures and Amazons here. All I know of in NY is a large flock of Quakers on City Island but I've never been out there. ![]() |

Cherry headed conure juveniles are 100% green.
Mitred conure juveniles have a red patch right above the beaks! ![]() Both can be found in southern California. And there might be a flock of mitreds in New York, too? Don't know if they are still alive or not. https://wildparrotsny.wordpress.com/tag/queens-conures/ 10,000 Birds | Mysteries of the Mitred Parakeets My first conure was a cherry headed conure, so I've read the book, seen the movie in theaters (first in SF near the park - saw the bird's right after the movie! - second with Mark Bittner where I live), and of course seen the birds! My second conure is a mitred. I took a trip to Maui some years ago and was hoping to see the mitred flock there. Unfortunately, didn't get to see them, but it was on my return back that I saw the movie and saw the cherry heads in person for the first time! Even got to feed them prior to the ban! It's nice to see another red head lover! ![]()

Well, none of these out of a HUGE flock had solid read heads such as the Red Masked (cherry headed do)

Re: New Forum Member
RavensGryf, I didn't doubt that you saw mitreds!
![]() I'd love to see the flocks someday! Was supposed to head down to southern California this weekend, but I don't know if I'd be in the right area to see any feral parrots.
