Conures

There are many kinds of Conures come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and personalities.  Conures are playful and intelligent but require daily training in order to maintain a human relationship.    Conures range in loudness, but some species are known to be particularly loud (like the Sun Conure).  

To the left is a Green Cheek conure.  This parrot is actually smaller than a Cockatiel and very sweet.  Below are two Blue Crown Conures, roughly twice the size of a green cheek (but just as sweet).  Although it depends on the conure, you can expect one to live 30 or more years.  Conures thrive in a variety of living situations and can be very cuddly loving parrots.
