Presently have six Greenwing Macaw (17 yo), Red Fronted Macaw (12 yo), Red Lored Amazon (17 y.o.), Lilac Crowned Amazon (about 43 y.o.) and a Congo African Grey (11 y.o.)
Panama Amazon (1 Y.O.)
I saw that.

Some of these guys, the Temple City parrots, for example, migrated north after their habitat was destroyed. I think that has a roll in this as well. I don't believe these are all escaped pets.
