Parrots in North America

San Diego should still have Talaud Red-and-Blue lory bts. San Antonio had Red-Bellied Parrot in 2018. Does Dallas no longer have Orange-Breasted Fig-Parrot?

Lesser Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo

Where does Bronx have Vasa parrot?
 
Disney's Animal Kingdom keeps Galah, Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Plum-headed Parakeet, Blue-and-yellow Macaw, Military Macaw, Scarlet Macaw, and Red-and-green Macaw.
 
Disney's Animal Kingdom keeps Galah, Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Plum-headed Parakeet, Blue-and-yellow Macaw, Military Macaw, Scarlet Macaw, and Red-and-green Macaw.

There's also a Pale-headed Rosella in the Asia aviary.
 
Indianapolis has a number of cockatoo species in their new Australian complex: Yellow-crested, Goffin’s, Little Corella, Major Mitchell’s, Salmon-crested, Sulphur-crested, and Citron-crested.
 
I didn't see the Hyacinth Macaws at the Bronx and there was no signage for them, so they might be gone. No Plum-headed Parakeets either from what I saw.

White-fronted Amazon is still signed at Central Park as of yesterday so I think you can remove question mark (I didn't see it, though).

I saw multiple individuals of Red-tailed Black Cockatoo at Los Angeles Zoo back in February, so I think the question mark can be removed. I didn't see that species or Palm Cockatoo at SDZSP or signs for them, though (but with zoos as big as San Diego parks who really knows).

Here is a bunch of additions for your list based on my checklist. Some of these facilities are not major zoos admittedly.
