Red-Crowned Parrots in Texas

Күн бұрын

Bird-enthusiasts in the Rio Grande Valley are turning their attention to a bird with a strong personality about which researchers know very little: the Red-Crowned Parrot. Threatened by habitat loss and the pet trade, the Red-Crowned Parrot has moved to the cities of south Texas, while researchers and volunteers are just now learning the basics about this quirky bird.

I have rescued a red crowned parrot from a shelter last year. He is an amazing bird and companion. He is 17 years young. Thank you for this video.

I haven't had the chance to see many of the Red Crowned down here, (I live in the McAllen area) but man I sure do see a lot of Green Parakeets. In the wintertime they congregate around the city in mass numbers. In December/January I regularly see flocks of 200 to 300 or more in the evening roosting around busy shopping centers and intersections. Its a beautiful sighting, but also incredibly noisy.

Yes, we can tell because people have been posting pictures of them on iNaturalist. You can view their observations by date and location, and folks are still spotting them today. However, their conservation status in the area is still "imperiled" which means the population is at risk of collapsing and extremely cold temperatures definitely don't help. www.inaturalist.org/taxa/18976-Amazona-viridigenalis

I used to see the yellow fronted Amazon in LA in the 70s and I had what they used to refer to as a Mexican red head (amazon). I never saw the red ones wild. The urban legends whereever and whatever kind is out there is either that a pet store lost them (in LA) the studios lost them or that owners lost single ones. San Francisco has cherry headed conures and Austin when I lived there had Quaker parrot ( aka monk parakeet). Quakers have also been spotted in Florida and incredibly in Hyde park Chicago. Because they have large communal nests often on electric wires or radio towers they keep each other warm. the houses look like squirrel nests and are like condos with multiple holes and compartments in them.

I hope somebody sees this post. I live close to 2222 and Mopac here in Austin. For the past year I have been seeing and hearing large parrots from my back yard--they are large, green, with relatively long tails and their squawking is unmistakable. They stay pretty high in the air and trees so I can't say for sure, but I could swear I see red on their heads when they get close enough. I usually see 3 or 4 of them at a time, but just last week I saw approximately 20 of them in a large tree in my back yard. I am very familiar with Monk Parrots which are smaller from my experience. I didn't even know red-headed parrots existed until I did some research online! Anyway i'd love to hear from somebody who knows these birds. I am an outdoors guy who fossil hunts and fishes so I am very familiar with Texas wildlife.

@@texasparksandwildlife I didn't know that. I lived in Austin 12 years and only saw quakers as far as I could tell and I was very interested. I always stopped whatever I was doing and watched them. The first day I was there I took my dog outside and a quaker flew down to a lower branch broke off a little piece and chewed on it. I said well hi there, what are you doing? He looked at me squeaked and flew away with her stick. That was my first Austin greeting and I was thrilled.

They are native to a small region of northeastern Mexico and South Texas. They were first recorded there in 1885, apparently as a result of a severe drought in Mexico.
