As many as sixty six Red-masked Parakeets, also known as Red-masked Conures, live in and around Diamond Head Crater. The flock roosts in a residential area below the crater and fly several miles to their foraging areas daily. Information regarding the introduction of this species to Oahu is not available. Red-masked Parakeets are native to the Pacific slope and lowlands of western Equador and northwestern Peru. They are considered to be near-threatened in their native range. The Red-masked Parakeet is not on the official Checklist of the Birds of Hawaii.
