Re: [cayugabirds-l] escaped parrot seen in Finger Lakes NF

[AJ Patterson]

On February 4, Janette Andrews Foster snapped photos of an escaped Crimson
Rosella in Reading Center. You can see them on the ABA "What's This Bird"
Facebook page; just navigate to the page and then put "rosella" in the
search bar.

I lost mine recently (not to the outdoors, sadly). They make sociable pets
as they enjoy interaction, but they are more of an aviary bird than a
cuddly shoulder-sitter and I wouldn't be surprised if some owners were a
little too casual around open windows. My own bird was found on the streets
of Chicago during a rainstorm, and despite three months of trying, we
couldn't locate the owners.

[cayugabirds-l] escaped parrot seen in Finger Lakes NF

[Joshua Snodgrass]

Hey all,
I was out birding the county line between Schuyler and Seneca Counties
(Seneca Rd, just west of Vesa Rd.) and a bright red medium sized parrot of
some sort flew across the road and perched in the low shrubs lining the
road. I snapped a few photos, but they came out very dark and poor. The
bird had a light blue patch on the wing, was mostly dark red, and flashed
green from somewhere while in flight. Attached is the checklist, just
figured I'd pass along the info in case anyone is searching for the poor
bird. Based on a quick google search it most resembles a Scarlet Rosella,
but I don't know much about captive species.
Thanks,
Josh
