   As an aside, everyone should admire the winning photo contest photos
of one of the members of our local parrot club (one winner and one
honerable mention).  Actually, she has only been into amateur photography 
for 4 years, so it means us amateurs can take good bird pictures if
we keep at it (anyone out there who has tried to photograph a parrot
knows what I'm talking about - it's tough).

   Hmmm.  I've spent time with my friends patagonian and quiet wouldn't
be the first adjective to come to mind.  Sun conures have a more
piercing sound, but patagonians are fairly loud - louder than blue-crowned
which have a reputation for being loud.
