Native status

Ddum5347, there is a reason why the species was not described as "native" in this article before you tried to ram it in: the native status is disputed. Here is the relevant assessment from an authoritative source (Uehling, J. J., Tallant, J., & Pruett-Jones, S. (2019). Status of naturalized parrots in the United States. Journal of Ornithology, 1-15.)[1]:

The contiguous United States (USA) originally had two endemic parrot species, the Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) and the Thick-billed Parrot (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha). [...] However, it is possible that a third and fourth species (Red-crowned Amazon, Amazona viridigenalis, and Green Parakeet, Psittacara holochlorus) should also be considered endemic because the northern ranges of their distributions may have included southern Texas (Benson and Arnold 2001). Both species are currently present and breeding in southern Texas, but the origin of these populations is controversial. Both species also have naturalized populations elsewhere in the USA.

That is the current expert assessment of the native status of this species (not whether they are currently present - that is indisputable). The jury is out on it. This sourcing does not give us license to boldy proclaim that this is a native species. The current discussion as present in the article gives a balanced, view, and that is what is required. Accordingly I have removed your statements re "native". Please be advised that as per WP:BRD, it constitutes editwarring if you re-insert these without a consensus, achieved here or in another relevant forum. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:25, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
