Which Parrots Have You Seen in the Wild?

Hi all, I would be really interested to hear which parrot species you have been lucky to spot in the wild. And what species you would like to see. :)
I am quite curious. Thanks!

Well in my Australian Backyard i have seen

Locikeets
Rosellas
King Parronts
Cockatoos
Galahs

But with the number of magpies and noise and indian miners they all get chased away the only ones that seem to stay are lorikeets but a flock of cockitoos and galahs will fly over.

I have seen 1 cockiteil but I think it was a pet that had escaped because it had a whistle i havn't heard any other cockiteil do and it was above someones house on the telegraph wires.

I have never seen them but there are quakers in my state. Too bad that the only remaining wild parrots in the US are feral (except for maybe the thick billed parrot).

Wow, you guys are lucky to be able to see all those beautiful parrots in the wild! Me? I've seen *none*. not one. D: ...

Wow, I'd love to see those that you guys down under get to see! We have wild quakers here and I see them all the time. Here are a couple of pics of some on the ground at the lake, on our feeder, and of their nests.

I have seen Military Macaws, Lilac-crowned Amazons, Mexican Parrotlets (funny, we have one of each of those!), Half-moon Conures (aka Orange-fronted Parakeets), Spectacled (aka White-fronted) Amazons, and Aztec Parakeets. The first four I have seen in the state of Jalisco, the last two in Quintana Roo, all in Mexico.
