A couple days ago, I noticed a small Quaker Parrot nest, and heard a lot of noise. After parking the car, I was shocked to only find two Quakers. All the noise I was hearing, came from, at least, 100 Nanday Conures. These Nandays were all in one tree, along with two Quakers, and what appeared to be, one Cherry-headed Conure (also known as Red-masked Conure).
The Cherry-headed Conure originates from S.W. Ecuador-N.W. Peru.
The Quakers refused to be photographed. The Cherry-head was reluctant, but I got a couple candid shots. Some of the Nandays were more than willing to pose for me.
The Nanday Conure originates fromS.E. South America. Some of the Countries they can be found in are, Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia.
I took this pic in N.W. Deerfield Beach, near Boca Raton, and the Turnpike.

I saw these nanday parrots up high on a tree by the pier in Safety Harbour. We go there often to watch manatees but never saw the birds there again.
