Parrot ID?

Postby Bluewolfcheetah » Wed Jan 09, 2013 2:55 pm

Hello all! New to this forum but not new to parrot ownership.

I have the opportunity to adopt a new bird into my flock (which is just one at this time, but I've owned various others over the years)

Long story short! A friend is having to give up the cutie, and I would love to give him his forever home. However...for the first time in ages, I'm not even sure on species! His owners oddly mistook him for a sun conure (definitely NOT a sun conure...I am happily owned by one after all LOL)

He definitely seems to be some kind of conure. Size and shape make me believe such. I'm under the impression he may be a mix breed. Can anyone identify this cutie's species? :sun:

welcome to the forum, to you and your new buddy!

this little cutie looks like a regular (unmixed, unhybridized, non-mutation, normal) specimen of the Black Capped Conure species, one of the Pyrrhura genus of conures. (same genus as the Green Cheek Conure, but not the same species)

I have a GCC... from what I've heard the Black Cap's personalities are a lot like the GCC's !

looking forward to hearing more about him on the forum!

yay Pyrrhuras!! :)
