Eat Dirt? Conures Eating Soil in the Wild

[SenyaSaysSo]

its common for parrots to do that. It gives them minerals when they eat it. Oh and its clay they eat not soil :)

interesting, thanks, never thought about their colors that way, but you're right. i think their head shape reminds me most of the large red macaws, but when they fly, they look like peregrine falcons ... great birds!

I have thought that too about these conures...that they remind me of falcons...I am glad you said that, I thought it was just me because I love falcons.

Their feathers look like the feathers of Meyer's parrots. I always think Patagonians look like Poicephalus.
