alanmcdonley Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 What do I call this bird? (Sep 9, 2021 - Wellington, Florida) It has similarities with a rosy-faced lovebird, but that is not a bird native to south Florida. Since it is flocking with monk parakeets, it would seem to have pretty good chances of creating some sort of a new hybrid generation that doesn't have a "life list-able" designation at the moment, but it exists - I saw it - and I would like to count whatever-it-is in my "birds I've seen (and photographed)" list.

Bird-Boys Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Looks like a Jandaya or Sun Parakeet. Probably an escapee. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a Sun Parakeet as well. Sadly endangered because of the pet trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmcdonley Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thank you @Bird-Boys and @Quiscalus quiscula for the ID and info. I hope this escapee will be successful to enjoy a long life in the south Florida "wild". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
