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.
They also have a dark brown throat and upper breast, although the feathers have such broad pale edges that the upper part of the bird appears whitish and scaled. The abdomens of Black-capped Conures are tinged with various shades of red, as are the wing edges and primary coverts. The primary colors are slightly tinged with blue, and the top of the tail is green with a dark gray underside. The feet and legs of Black-capped Conures are gray, as is the bill.
