I didn't know they were found that high up in the states, too bad they are gone. They were quite pretty by the pics I've seen.  :cwy:

It is awesome that they can still study them and at least find out a little more about them through testing of the specimens.  :twirl:

From what I understand, they were frequently seen in Ontario  as well, maybe summer visitors. Their closes living relatives are the Sun Conure complex (Sun, Jenday, Goldcap) which is understandable, they are similar in appearance
