They’ve been diving underwater to remove masses of purple urchins from a few test sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re hoping that in those sites, their effort to remove urchins will allow kelp to grow back in the spring. The challenge is collecting thousands of urchins at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back out on his boat near Mendocino, Holcomb assembles the device he’s developed for just this purpose. He slaps together 10-foot-long pieces of fiberglass tubing to make a sort of underwater vacuum cleaner.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘It’s much like trying to scratch the paint off a house with a pin.

This one is built for purple urchins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holcomb puts on his scuba gear, and connects the pipes to an air compressor on deck. Then he dives down with the equipment to depths of about 30 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaXExXw4R0A\">videos\u003c/a> he’s made of his process, the seafloor looks like a minefield of spiky purple creatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holcomb uses a little metal rake to scrape the urchins off the rocks, and into his fiberglass tube. The device sucks the urchins up, and deposits them into a large net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This day, it takes him almost two hours to clear off an area smaller than a tennis court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he finally comes up, his net is packed with thousands of purple urchins with wiggly spines. They’re much lighter than the same number of urchins would be in a healthy kelp forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holcomb smashes one open to show that there’s no flesh inside. “They’re all empty,” says Holcomb. “There’s no food value in them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11202000\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11202000\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Jon Holcomb, a veteran diver with his urchin airlift.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS20910_IMG_1586-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jon Holcomb, a veteran diver with his urchin airlift. \u003ccite>(Carrie Boyle/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We head back to a dock in Fort Bragg, where Catton has brought a group of local volunteers to count and measure the urchins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to be able to say, ‘How much effort does this take?’ ” says Catton. “‘How effective is this on a small scale?

Biologists have been wondering the same thing. So they’ve recruited volunteers to help them gather coyote droppings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe you’ve seen these wily predators skulking the streets at dusk and dawn. In some parts of the country, including in L.A., the drought has brought them out of the mountains and canyons and onto our blocks in search of food and water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some think of coyotes as a menace to society. They lie in wait until we take our eyes off our cats and small dogs; then they strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are fans of these wily predators and advocate for their survival. Like Melanie Symonds, who keeps chickens in her backyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chickens are delicious to coyotes and I’ve lost more than I’d like to admit to those that have come through the yard,” Symonds says. “They’ve earned their trickster name, as far as I can say from my own experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/295959165″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Symonds closes up her chicken coop at night and keeps a close watch on the flock. Still, when the occasional hen is lost to a predator, she doesn’t hold it against them. In fact, Symonds believes we should be grateful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t like to have certain vermin around, rats and mice, and [coyotes] actually do a tremendous job to keep the numbers of rodents in check,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Symonds has spent 18 years as docent at Pasadena’s Eaton Canyon Nature Center. When the National Park Service started recruiting people like her for a study on the diet of coyotes, she jumped at the chance to start collecting coyote droppings — also known as coyote scat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 30 volunteers gather at the \u003ca href=\"http://debspark.audubon.org/programs/la-urban-coyote-project\">Audubon Center in Debs Park\u003c/a>.

She says one way to tell the different kinds of scat apart is by the shape. Bobcat poop, for example, is shaped like a ball-and-socket joint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Often coyote scat has a characteristic twisted appearance. They’re a little bit smaller than dog scat usually,” Wold said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contents can also help determine the animal who left the scat behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11202259\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Binta Wold, a National Park Service intern working on the Urban Coyote Project, helps volunteers distinguish coyote scat from bobcat scat.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11202259\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Binta Wold, a National Park Service intern working on the Urban Coyote Project, helps volunteers distinguish coyote scat from bobcat scat. \u003ccite>(Avishay Artsy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you have a scat that you think is coyote, it’ll probably have bones or fur or seeds.

But then also people are putting plates of dog food out as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actively feeding wildlife is illegal, and animal control is trying to crack down on it. Wold is concerned this behavior could lead to coyotes that aren’t shy about approaching people in the hopes of finding food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If people do get bitten by coyotes, it’s often because those coyotes had been fed before,” says Wold. “If you want to help wild animals, it’s a good idea to just respect them from a distance, and definitely don’t feed them or leave anything out in your yard that could be a food source for wild animals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope of the Park Service study is to inform residents and elected officials about coyote behavior — dietary and otherwise — when it comes time to make decisions about how to keep them out of urban areas. Some cities have approved measures to trap and kill coyotes roaming our streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11202263\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Justin Brown, a National Park Service ecologist, locates coyote scat in Rio de Los Angeles State Park.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11202263\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-240x360.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-375x563.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/JustinBrownScat-520x780.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justin Brown, a National Park Service ecologist, locates coyote scat in Rio de Los Angeles State Park. \u003ccite>(Avishay Artsy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Randi Feilich’s group, \u003ca href=\"http://www.projectcoyote.org/\">Project Coyote\u003c/a>, lobbies for more humane measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re probably the most persecuted predator.

And that’s also what’s killing off our owls, our bobcats, our hawks, our mountain lions,” Feilich says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the classroom part of the training, the volunteers split off to find coyote scat in parks, cemeteries and golf courses. One group heads to Rio de Los Angeles State Park. Volunteers walk along a dusty trail, stopping every few feet to examine what could be a coyote dropping. Brown wears latex gloves. He scoops the scat into a paper bag and labels it with a marker. But just as often, the samples they find are from dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ll see all these little things that are kind of jagged in shape. Sometimes you’ll see little tiny seeds, but they’re usually more uniform in shape.

Especially if there’s a bone, a tooth. Teeth are the most important part. So if you see something that has a tooth in it, make sure you grab that piece,” Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown says he was surprised by the level of public interest in the project.

They’re omnivores so they eat a lot of fruits and berries and things like that.

But then also people are putting plates of dog food out as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actively feeding wildlife is illegal, and animal control is trying to crack down on it.

You know, if they’re not killed by inhumane trapping or illegal hunting or being hit by cars, they’re being poisoned regularly by anticoagulant rodenticides, you know, rat poison. And that’s also what’s killing off our owls, our bobcats, our hawks, our mountain lions,” Feilich says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the classroom part of the training, the volunteers split off to find coyote scat in parks, cemeteries and golf courses. One group heads to Rio de Los Angeles State Park. Volunteers walk along a dusty trail, stopping every few feet to examine what could be a coyote dropping. Brown wears latex gloves. He scoops the scat into a paper bag and labels it with a marker. But just as often, the samples they find are from dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ll see all these little things that are kind of jagged in shape. Sometimes you’ll see little tiny seeds, but they’re usually more uniform in shape. Where, what they’ve been eating all 100 percent of Pedigree or Alpo or something, there’ll be all these little pieces of cracked corn,” Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown says they’ll eventually test genetic samples. So finding scat with animal remnants is especially important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you go to start actually looking at these scats, one little piece might make a big difference. Especially if there’s a bone, a tooth. Teeth are the most important part. So if you see something that has a tooth in it, make sure you grab that piece,” Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown says he was surprised by the level of public interest in the project. He received 180 applications, and picked 30 lucky volunteers for the scat-gathering phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them, Marydee Donnan, can hear coyotes howling near her home at night. She says some neighbors have lost cats — but she’s hesitant to blame the coyotes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A very small percentage of coyotes’ diets is cat or pet. So, you know, the random cat that goes missing, everybody wants to blame the poor coyote and that’s not fair,” Donnan said. “The more we know about them, the more we might appreciate them as part of our urban environment and our wildlife.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next year and a half, the team of volunteers will continue to fan out to collect poop in 30 Los Angeles locations, from Griffith Park and Beverly Hills to Boyle Heights and Highland Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the scat is collected and dropped off, another team of volunteers will join scientists to dry, sterilize and sort the samples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hundreds of people have inundated wildlife officials with complaints, and what was supposed to be a workshop Wednesday night for residents to learn how to protect their livestock was all but hijacked by animal activists who shouted their anger over the possibility that P-45 could be killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsantamonicamtns%2Fvideos%2F10154162743593660%2F&width=800&show_text=true&height=430&appId\" width=\"800\" height=\"430\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's sickening that this animal is going to be executed,\" one person wrote on the Facebook page of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Another wrote: \"So they're going to kill a lion for being a lion. Ridiculous and shameful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vaughn-Perling, who had planned to attend the community meeting before she became afraid of getting death threats, told The Associated Press she has tried various strategies to protect her alpacas from P-45 following previous attacks, including adding motion lights and electrified fencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It seems to enjoy the slaughter,\" she said. \"This animal will attack a child or a bicyclist or a hiker because it's so comfortable with the slaughter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seth Riley, a wildlife ecologist for the National Park Service, said neither P-45 nor the 52 other mountain lions studied by the agency in the region since 2002 have ever attacked a human and there's no evidence that they would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the cat's killing of 10 alpacas in one night and eating only part of one isn't aberrant behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An animal gets into an enclosed space with a bunch of vulnerable prey animals that aren't that smart or good at escape and they keep going after them until they aren't moving around anymore,\" Riley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'None of the options are very good for the animal'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>P-45 is one of just three breeding males during the entire 14 years the animals have been studied in the region and it's important to the species that he stay, Riley said. He and animal rights advocates say livestock can be kept safe if they're in a roofed enclosure and that there's no need to interfere with P-45's behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vaughn-Perling said she installed a roof on her alpaca enclosure after last weekend's attack and that she'd prefer to have P-45 relocated rather than killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her attorney, Reid Breitman, told residents and activists at Wednesday's community meeting that Vaughn-Perling has asked the Department of Fish and Wildlife to change her permit to allow P-45 to be safely captured and relocated to an animal sanctuary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That generated boos from the crowd, with some yelling that putting a wild animal in captivity still isn't fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan Traverso, a spokeswoman for the fish and wildlife department, said California state law doesn't allow for the permit to be altered and that it's \"a permit to kill a lion which is otherwise protected under state law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that the department has reached out to Vaughn-Perling and is evaluating options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"None of the options are very good for the animal,\" she said. \"Captivity is not a very good option for a wild animal, nor is relocation. We're in a difficult space.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley rejected the idea of moving P-45 to other wild land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's not some lion Shangri-La where we can put the lions,\" he said. \"From our perspective it's a pretty simple solution. If you have livestock in natural areas, you need to protect them from the wildlife.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The mitred conures originated from a large territory ranging from Peru through Bolivia down to northern Argentina.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Did They Get Here?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>They were brought here to be sold as pets in the exotic pet trade. The U.S. was the largest importer of birds in the world before the government banned the trade of wild exotic birds in 1992.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Did They Get Out?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The founders of the wild flock of conures either escaped or were released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a number of theories. A commonly held belief is that the parrots were released by a woman who was having a psychotic break and subsequently burned down the pet store where they were housed. This is partially true. A pet store did burn down in Pasadena, but the woman was an employee of sound mind simply trying to save the birds. The parrots in San Francisco most likely weren’t released from the fire in Pasadena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More likely, the San Francisco conures escaped or were purposely released by pet owners. The conures can live for decades, and they’re loud and demanding pets, so not everyone is suited to caring for them. While some may have escaped, Jamie Yorck, the owner of the now-closed Spectrum Exotic Birds, believes that a few owners may simply have left a window open hoping their birds would join the wild flock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11185801\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11185801 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A wild conure found around San Francisco's Embarcadero.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A wild conure found around San Francisco’s Embarcadero. \u003ccite>(Dan_H/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Do They Talk?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While these conures are capable of\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZXKQDFp5V8\"> learning\u003c/a> a word or two, they aren’t the best imitators of human speech.

Cherry heads have slightly smaller bodies and a red helmet pattern on their heads, whereas mitred conures have a more blotchy pattern of red and feet that are a slightly darker hue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11185798\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11185798 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-800x1204.jpg\" alt=\"A wild conure in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1204\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-800x1204.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-160x241.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-1020x1535.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-1180x1776.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-960x1445.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-240x361.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-375x564.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-520x782.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o.jpg 1563w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A wild conure in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Ingrid Taylar/flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Where Are They From?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The cherry-headed conures come from a small territory spanning Ecuador and Peru.

A commonly held belief is that the parrots were released by a woman who was having a psychotic break and subsequently burned down the pet store where they were housed. This is partially true. A pet store did burn down in Pasadena, but the woman was an employee of sound mind simply trying to save the birds. The parrots in San Francisco most likely weren’t released from the fire in Pasadena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More likely, the San Francisco conures escaped or were purposely released by pet owners. The conures can live for decades, and they’re loud and demanding pets, so not everyone is suited to caring for them. While some may have escaped, Jamie Yorck, the owner of the now-closed Spectrum Exotic Birds, believes that a few owners may simply have left a window open hoping their birds would join the wild flock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11185801\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11185801 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A wild conure found around San Francisco's Embarcadero.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/355558918_81506fb084_o-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A wild conure found around San Francisco’s Embarcadero. \u003ccite>(Dan_H/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Do They Talk?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While these conures are capable of\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZXKQDFp5V8\"> learning\u003c/a> a word or two, they aren’t the best imitators of human speech.
