I don’t have a photograph, but this species was the #700 bird on my “Continental ABA Area” life list, seen at the Biltmore Hotel near Miami. Native to South America, this conure is a popular pet, which explains why so many have escaped captivity and become established in California, Florida, and Hawaii.
