Green Cheek Conure |
The Green-cheeked has coloring very
similar to the Maroon-bellied Conure, but can be distinguished by the
reddish upper surface of its' tail feathers. It has a green body with blue
primary flight feathers and a maroon tail. The scallop feathers on the chest
and upper neck are fringed with white. There is purple on the belly and the
beak and the
ear
covers are brown. These birds tame very easily and are very sociable. The
Pyrrhuras are a quieter Conure than the Aratinga species making them an
easier
pet
to live with. However, they are not known to be great talkers. In the wild
they are very sociable with other green-cheeks. Often they forage in groups
and spend the night sleeping together. |

Janday Conure |
The Janday Conure is quite striking
with its beautiful colors. Sometimes there is confusion between the
Janday Conure and the Sun Conure but you can easily identify the Janday by
its green wings and back, while the Sun has mostly yellow wings. A super
sweet bird, the attractive Janday Conure is very sociable and makes a very
tame and loveable
companion.
They love to "talk", and yes, they are rather noisy little creatures. Being
very active, they enjoy playing with toys,
climbing, and chewing. Their antics can be very comical and at the same time
they are very affectionate. These are also called "Jenday Conures" |

Nanday Conure |
The head is black, along with the
cheeks and throat, which looks like a cap. The rest of the body is green,
the throat and
breast
are blue, and the feet are red. Mature birds are
about 11-12 inches long and weigh 5.2 ounces. As with many Aratinga
species, the Nanday Conure or Black-hooded Parakeet can be noisy, they have
a high pitched screech that can be annoying.

Peach- Fronted Conure |
The Peach-fronted Conure has a
grayish-green back with a lighter green (olive) color on the
breast.
The forehead and part of the crown are bright orange. The rest of the crown
is blue-green. There are black tips on the wings and blue tips on the tail.
The beak is black. They are similar in appearance and size to the three
subspecies of Orange-fronted Conures (see the
Half-Moon Conure) but have a
smaller black beak rather than horn colored, and their colored frontal band
is larger. As with many Aratinga species, Peach-fronted Conures can be
noisy, though not nearly as noisy as most Aratinga species. These
birds get up to 10" |

Dusky Conure |

to the
parrot
family. It has a green body and a gray-brown head. The tips of the feathers
on the top of the head have a bluish cast, the legs are gray. They grow to
about 11 inches. Younger birds are duller in color and their belly is green
turning more yellow as they age. The ends of the primaries and tail feathers
are blue. This bird is not nearly as noisy as most Aratinga species. |

Sun Conure |
The Sun Conure, a small
member of the
parrot
family, is one of the most colorful of the Conures. Their nice personalities
and their gorgeous coloring make them a favorite
pet.
There are a variety of Conures, and most make excellent pets. They vary in
coloring and size, the Nanday Conure, for example, is a larger Conure with a
black head and green body. For a smaller bird and a great pet, a Conure is a
great choice. |

are a yellowish light green. These birds make a very warm and friendly
pet.
Great for people of all ages. |

Red Masked Conure |
Besides being very intelligent
and loveable, the Red-masked Conure or Cherry-headed Conure is a real clown
and loves to show off. They are easy to tame and are good talkers. They do
however have a grating call and can get quite loud. They also love to play
and chew, so be sure to provide them with lots of wooden toys
to keep them well occupied. This Conure has a
beautiful green plumage that is paler and more yellowish on the underside.
Except for the back half of the cheeks the whole head is red, completely
encircling the eyes and often on the throat and neck as well. There is also
red on the shoulders, underside of the wings and the thighs. The eye is
yellow surrounded by a naked, creamy white eye ring. The beak is horn
colored and the legs are gray. |
