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.
Besides being pretty to look at, conures have personality traits (spunky, comical, cuddly, playful) that make them easy to love. With proper care, your conure can live for 20 to 30 years, giving you plenty of time to develop and cultivate a loving companionship with him.
