Got the opportunity to meet some unique species of conures today

Well today after a trip from outside the city, my mom & I checked out a large petstore off the highway, called SuperPet. I live in Canada, and belive it to be a Canadian based company(but Jodi tells me otherwise ), BUT anyways, its a great company and they take excellent care in their wide variety of parrots.

Among the parrots we saw, were ; weaning baby blue and gold/ Congo African grey babies(an adorable baby, exploring the world, and new words), a blue headed pionus, blue fronted amazons, lutino ringneck, and unique a hawkhead parrot(gorgeous bird). However, today I got to see three new species of conures I have never seen or heard before(that I know of).

A scarlet chested(or crimson chested) conure(A GORGEOUS conure. I have never seen a a bird with such a gorgeous tummy(its chest was literally scarlet red, just as red, or redder than a greenwing, or scarlet macaw ), as well with a species I believe to be called a "yellow thighed' conure(which I have looked up all over the net, and can't seem to find any information about. The conure looks like a maroon bellied conure,...with yellow thighs). Last of all, I saw a rose "crested(maybe it was fronted?)" conure. A cute green conure, with a rose nape. The employee playing with the congo baby, allowed me to play with the little rose headed conure. He/She was adorable, and loved shiny things(AKA my chain necklace).

Has anyone else seen these species, or better yet own one?
It was a neat day, and got to see just how hyper those crazy conures are. I just thought I'd share it.
