FREE-RANGING PARROT POPULATION OF HAIKU DISTRICT, MAUI, HAWAII by George Waring. Each paragraph is hyperlinked to a piece inspired by it.The
Haiku ParrotsMitred Conures are frugivorous/granivorous. Locally they feed on the fruits
and seeds of wild plum, Christmas berry, papaya, strawberry guava, and other
shrubs and trees (Kahiamoe, pers. comm.; Parker, pers. comm.). They are
opportunists and feed on whatever is accessible and ripe at the time. Thus
they roam in search of food and may return to the same site on subsequent
days when the supply is adequate for the flock.
