Sun Conures

We are no longer raising , the beautiful Sun Conure !

They are know for their beauty, a rainbow of color. I once had a lady tell me they reminded her of a Arizona sunset. They are best described as inquisitive and playful. They are about 12 inches in size and weighing around 130 grams. They are a bit limited in their talking ability, but they can learn a few words. They are a bird for the entire family. It nothing unusual to find them lying on their backs playing with toys . They are very spunky and playful, loving to cuddle and be handled!! Although toys are a wonderful environmental enrichment, they are also a vital importantance for the psychological well being of a bird. These birds are in the Aratinga family, making them one of the louder conures. If you are noise sensitive, this is probably not a bird for you because they can be really loud at times!
