I just saw a couple at Petsmart yesterday. Body of a blood parrot and the coloring and some attributes of a convict. They were in a tank that had blood parrots and convicts (go figure).
Anyone seen these yet?

No way! Petsmart has got to be stopped.

My main beef with them though is the little cards describing the fish. They have stuff on them that says 20 gallon minimum for an oscar and other total garbage.
i have a good pet smart (pet stupid) story, (not to do with parrots however) I went in looking for discus (my first mistake) and kindly asked a woman in the fish department if they had any "Discus Fish" she looked at me like I had four heads and said "Discus fish? I've never even heard of that!" I looked at her with a mix of sympathy and anger and said, "you've never heard of a discus, and your working in a fish department? I'm sorry I wasted our time..." granted this is the same woman I saw two weeks prior selling 3 tiger barbs to a little girl who had just bought a betta bowl... ugh. 
The two petsmarts in my area are great. I even saw a guy deny a sale of an oscar to a lady because the said she had a 20 gallon.
I don't think they are all bad and, like any business, has good and bad people working there. I pointed these blood parrot convicts out to the guy and he hadn't even noticed them.
Now tell me, would any of you reading this not know what you had in every tank in the store if you worked in that area 8 hours a day 5 days a week? Even if part time you would know about what was in there.
