What kind of bird is this?

I have identified the broken beak as a Conure and emailed the owner - what about the 2nd bird?
Just got these Birds Today what KIND or BREED are they?

Thanks guys!

Those poor babies! I think maybe the other one is an Alexandrine (sp?)......but I don't know as much as alot of other peeps here.

What kind of conure do ya think? I see the red on the tail.....

I just really wanted to say Thank goodness they are going to the vet.

I'm no expert, but I agree that the plucked one looks like an Alexandrine or possibly some other kind of ringneck. There's a picture of an Alexandrine at Birds » Parrots » Parakeet - Alexandrine Main Page

I can't tell much about the conure from the picture. Does she have a blue head? If she does then she might be a blue-crowned conure. There's a picture of one at Birds » Parrots » Conure - Blue Crowned Main Page

The plucked one is absolutely an Alexandrine.

I would also say a blue crowned conure and an alexandrine. I hope she's getting them some good vet care. Poor babies.
