Looking for Info: Austral/Astral/Magellan Conures

Postby Kerrie on Thu Jan 31, 2008 3:42 pm

I just saw this funny little conure at my local bird store and I wanted to get more info on the species. It goes by many names, including the Austral Conure/Parakeet, Astral Conure/Parakeet, Magellan Conure/Parakeet, and the scientific name is Enicognathus ferrugineus.

There doesn't seem to be much info on this species or the availability and breeding of it. I've never even heard of it until I met the little guy the other day! :lol: I can't find much info in any of my conure books.

Anyone know anything about these guys???
Thanks!
