What type of bird is this? Looks a macaw but I don't recognize the face pattern

Blue Crown Conure?
A frontal photo would help...

I think you may be right.

Yep totally a blue crowned conure. A favorite of mine. Your on with the macaw, conures are closely related and hybrids between small macaws and conures have been made. Same temperament.

Certainly a blue crown conure. He's beautiful and we'd love to hear more

Sadly, another rescue situation. I got the cl today. Inexperinsed owner, to loud, to messy, can you take him....ugg

I've moved this thread to the conures section now that you know it's a conure .

Lovely blue crown! You have me itching to watch "Paulie"

I agree with the above. Definitely a Blue Crown. I have two of them mutually preening each other about 10 feet from me. Great birds. Lively and intelligent.

I believe that Blue Crowns are considered to be more macaw than conure. So when you said "Looks like a macaw..." you were right in that respect.
