It was a relief to us, as well.

In regard to Conner’s fate, it was a big relief to me when the neighbor came forward and said she found his body in her yard, still a beautiful bird, and that there were no signs of his having been mangled or eaten by hawks. His death was sad, but not the horrific nightmare that his being eaten alive would have been.

I echo what Brad said about Conner. You portrayed him well in the book and I too hope this new Blue crown fares better. And please keep us informed on Munchkin, and any others you would like. I know you have moved on from the Flock but they do have a fan club.

I’ve thought of luring him in if it looks like he’s having trouble. Right now he’s having a gas. I’ll keep you up to date on his status for as long as I see him, or until he’s an accepted member of the flock.

My best to Munchkin, but I must admit the new blue-crowned conure interests me more. I imagine how frightening it must be for a caged (pet) parrot to find himself lost and vulnerable. I hope the flock accepts him into their fold. Connor, the outsider, was my favorite member of the flock. Sad that he met the fate he eventually did.

Love your updates on any of the conures but this one’s a bit sad.

When you said he was “always alone,” I looked hard at your pictures of him, trying to see if he had the signs which you’ve mentioned of a solitary bird–the loose pinfeathers that showed no other bird had groomed him. I couldn’t see any, and hope that means he has a buddy somewhere. But I’d agree it doesn’t look good.

“Parrots are extremely social. It’s rare to see one not paired-up. Munchkin was always alone.”

This gives me a bad feeling. Reminds me of Connor.

May he be safe in his wanderings!
