Description
Photographic artwork by Dawn Currie. Two beautiful visitors to my backyard.
The blue-crowned parakeet, blue-crowned conure, or sharp-tailed conure (Thectocercus acuticaudatus) is a small green Neotropical parrot with a blue head and pale beak. A native of South America, they were first reported in Brevard County, Florida in 1998. They inhabit the more arid regions of tropical zones, such as thickets, grasslands, savannas, and forest edges.
