The look like Macaws.

i dont know for sure but was told they are green parrots. maybe if they come back i will have time to put a lense bigger than the 400 on the camera

 

[Bobby Stainless]

I think they are the same thing.

these things run rampant around pasadena/altadena area

had family spending the night once, the little girl was scared when they started going crazy causing a ruckus as they often do at about 5am haha. it used to piss my dog off, he'd be trying to sleep and you could just tell by his looks whenever they'd get all loud and squawky that it was really annoying him greatly haha

Are they Native?



There flocks in parts of florida that were escaped pets

 

[smokefrogg]

the pasadena area parrots are the result of a pet store fire long ago, wonder where the san diego ones came from?

They look like Conures

Perhaps Red Headed Conures ? ... or Cherry Headed Conures ?

Much smaller than a Macaw ... and smaller than an Amazon

Sadly some people who own exotic species are just not capable or prepared to take proper and correct care - and do stupid things ... like walk around outdoors with birds on their shoulders thinking that if the birds wings are clipped they cant fly away - wrong ... they can fly ... or some people cant or simply dont want to take care - and release them into the wild

Own a pet is a huge " Lifetime " responsibility

To not take proper and correct care - is not only irresponsible - its sad ... and in some cases criminal

i had a macaw when i lived in the keys. it fell in love with the old lady and started to attack me when she was around. when i left it stayed with her. these are definately smaller and are the same size as the flock that has been cruising by for years. they just never stopped and i never got a chance to get a picture of em before.

when i lived in the keys there were a few of the taller trees
that the escapiees would gather at . the owners were either trying to climb up or calling their birds frantically. some adapted and never became pets again. alot got eaten by predatory birds. i will admit my macaw got out once, my other bird has gotten out 3 times and avoided a hawk 2 of the times you think he would learn LOL i have never had a snake ,dog or iguana escape tho

Still miss that damn bird?

 

[supermanlives]

it was funny for a while. the bird would chase me out of bed with her . then he would bury his head in her armipit and bob up and down like he was doing her. then he got worse and really got me a few times.i dont miss either of em but it was fun for a while with both. and i hope they are both happy. lol

They look like Mexican Red-Headed Amazon's to me.

 

[supermanlives]

i did think that one of em was flashing gang signs

 

[somniferum420]
