Is this a GCC?

[pawsfoot]

I found this bird outside. I think he is a GCC but he is rather larger than any of the others that I have seen, and he is almost bald on his body. It wa so cold and I had to bring him in.

Not a GCC. Looks like a Patagonian conure to me, but I could be wrong.

I agree. Looks like it's a bit of a plucker as well.

Does also look like a Pantagonian Conure....

It is a Patagonian. They are one of my favorite conures And they are sizeable: 18" or so so they do resemble some of the larger mini macaws. Notice though that macaws all have something of a bare facial patch and conures have just the bare eye ring. Macaws and conures belong to the same family of parrots though.

Yes good point about the bare facial patch!
