Who is Pyrrhura's UK?

Les Waring, United Kingdom.

I was born in 1971 in Gloucestershire, which is situated in the South-west of the country.

At present and for many years I have been working for a local firm for the battery industry, where we make machines that make batteries & moulds which are supplied all over the world.

I also own a security company, providing licensed 'sia' door staff & security guards for the retail & licence trade. http:// www.swansecurityservicesltd.com

I have a family , partner Helen and three children.

I have always had a keen interest in animals especially birds from a young age, going bird watching & joined the British bird watching clubs, but it wasn't until 1987 I started keeping birds, I started with Zebra & Bengalese finches.

Over the years I have kept & bred a wide selection of birds from small Waxbills, South American Buntings, Java Sparrow's, soft-bills & of course parrots & alike.

My main interest for a long while was mutations in which I have specialised in a few species:-

Zebra Finches, Java Sparrows, Diamond Doves, & Peach-Face Lovebirds.

My other interests were the African parrots: Meyer's, Senegal's & Greys in which I did quite well with. For a few years I did a lot of hand-rearing for myself and colleagues for the pet trade, ranging from most species of birds: Lovebirds, Conures, African's, Amazon's, Cockatoo's & a couple of Blue & Gold Macaws.

Since 1994 I have been keeping Pyrrhura Conures which have become a favourite, I parted with a lot of my other birds to replace them with these delightful little conures, as i find them very interesting, colourful, active, not noisy, and there are plenty of species to choose from & can be very prolific given the right conditions.

I have successful bred over the years :

Maroon Bellied - P.frontalis frontalis & P.frontalis chiripepe

Green Cheeked - P.molinae australis, P.molinae restricta & P.molinae molinae

Mutation (pastel-blue) Green-Cheeked

Yellow Sided - P.hypoxantha

Pearly - P.perlata lepida

Black Capped - P.rupicla sandiae

Blue Throated - P.cruentata

Rose-Crowned - P.rhodocephala

Crimson Bellied - P.perlata perlata

I'm currently keeping:

Green Cheeked - P.molinae australis & P.molinae molinae

Rose Crowned - P.rhodocephala

Blue Throated - P.cruentata

Fiery shouldered - P.egregia egregia
