Hey guys, I have found a new friend. My neighbors parrot has started visitng me and my ringneck. Hes quite cute and loves apples, but I have no idea what he is. The closest I could find personally was the āMaroon Tail Parrotā but he doesnāt have the red tail. Here is some pictures.
What Parrot is this?

Yea that's a black capped like my perry! He has red tipped wings on his sides right? He's in the same family as green cheek conures.

Black capped Conure. Yes he does have Red tipped wings. Heās so cute and friendly, Hes been back and forth all day and he practically falls asleep on my lap while Iām scratching him. Haha, Too bad my Indian Ringneck isnāt as friendly, heās a rescue though.
Anyways, thanks you two, I appreciate the help ��

Haha, I know what you mean, Iād love to have this bird as a new family member but ofcourse Iāve been talking to my neighbors and he just likes to wander it seems. I guess the noises my Ringneck makes must have lured him

So he wanders over to your house from your neighbors? Does he fly? How long till his owner comes looking for him?

Yeah he wanders over, he doesnāt fly he walks, his wings are clipped it seems.
I live in a unit complex so our houses are only seperated by a small fence he just walks under it.
They donāt seem overly worried, they havenāt come looking for him, he wandered over and I told them he was here. So hes been back and forth yesterday afternoon and today. Itās only just started.
They are vietnamese so our conversations are limited but I believe heās a relatively new pet of theirs.

Yea mine doesn't bite me, but he likes to play this game with my gf where he chases her hand around and tries to bite. I think he really thinks of it as a game cause he doesn't bite her hard but sometimes when hes on my shoulder he will bite right through my shirt. He loves to really chomp on fabric or rope he gives it his all. I'm thankful he doesn't take his anger out on me lol.

Really? Thatās pretty funny, theyāre quite clever birds, arenāt they. Ropes a good idea, Iām not sure what kind of set up the neighbors have for him, maybe Iāll find him one of Echos ropes to chew.
Heās not malicious, he just starts to nibble but gets into it after a while. Lucky Iāve had experience with bigger beaks. I donāt think Iāll let Echo see me share his toys, I mean, Echo is flighted and he has access to the whole house, in the house he is fine, but heās really terriortorial with his cage and toys, infact even though he seems to like my missus more than me, she canāt put her hand in the cage. Only me. I donāt want to upset him

Well yeah, itās not something Iād personally do, but they arenāt me. And actually Iāve been enjoying his visits to be honest.

Hmm...hope they understand that his wings don't "stay" clipped (new flight-feathers do eventually grow in)....and that his wanderings could get the little guy injured (or lost). Sounds like the language barrier might prevent you properly communicating that though.I've been to Vietnam four times, and know only the rudimentary stuff, but this rough translation sounds right to my ear, if you want to wing (ha..ha) telling them:

Id certainly talk to the neighbours and try explain the dangers of this and as stated above about his wings growing back in and him going away with the wind. Option 3 would be keep him lol but I didn't tell you that hehe 
It would be cool having a little Parrot come over to play though but you've told us now lol and we cant help but see the dangers and care because we all love Parrots so much x

I'm terrified about what could happen to the little darling as he navigates that outdoor area. Raptors, cats, dogs, oh, my!
Thank you for trying to save him!!!!!

Itās good to see so many people caring about him. I do worry, Iām in Australia and we do have quite a few snakes so I tried my best to explain that to them. I havenāt seen him for a few days but I have heard him.
Iām not sure if itās because of what I have said, but whatever the case heās at least inside now.
Thereās not a whole lot I can do since he is not my bird, but they are friendly and good natured neighbors and as I said he hasnāt been out for a while, hopefully that means we can trust the bird will be ok.
