Check the rinds for splits. A ripe pom's skin splits open when rained on or exposed to rapid changes in humidity. Harvest the pomegranate tree when the first fruit splits, even if it the date falls prior to the expected harvest date.
Pyrrhura is the other large genus of conures. These generally greenish conures include the very common green-cheeked conure, as well as the maroon-bellied conure, pearly conure, black-capped conure, painted conure, crimson-bellied conure, and a number of other species.
Conures love roomy cages! A cage best suited for a conure must be large enough that the tail does not touch the bottom, and the bird has enough room for unrestricted movements. For a small size conure, a minimum of 24x16x20 (60 x 40 x 50 cm), and for the larger species, a minimum of 44x26x40 (120 x 65 x 100 cm).
