'Relationship to Carolina Parakeet' section
The following text was recently added to the article by User:Shadowkittie5460:

"This species is believed to be the closest living relative of the extinct Carolina Parakeet. Like its extinct cousin, in the wild it is a cavity nester that has a predilection for various fruits and seeds as well as an unfortunate attraction to plants cultivated by humans (maize, members of the family annonacae, etc.) and a common status in the pet trade. The plumage of this bird, with the Sun Conure is very close to that of the Carolina's and can be distinguished from the Carolina Parakeet in the beak being black in the South American species and horn colored in the North American one."

This is probably something that's going to require full referencing in order to remain in the article. Anyone ever heard of this theory (maybe I'm just behind the times - but it sounds unlikely to me)? Thought it best to flag it up. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 19:13, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

http://www.newparrots.societyrne.net/html/c.parakeet.info.htm. Here is where I got the information. I also did a little digging and looked at the plumage of the two species: although plumage alone is not a good indicator of who is a close relative in birds, the two species that most resemble the Carolina Parakeet are the Jendaya and the Sun Conure. (Look up the Smithsonian Institution: they have a whole trove of specimens left over from about a hundred years ago.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowkittie5460 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
