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.
It is not advisible to put the conure in with the parakeets. The conure may kill them, as conures are territorial, and usually do not get along well with smaller birds. Don K Says: I have a 2 year old sun conure and a 7 months old Yellow Peril Cockatiel and I had hopped they could live in the same cage but not a chance. The counure will chace the poor little tiel and bite him.
