The detail
Conures are small to mid-sized parrots from Central and South America, with green-cheeked and sun conures the most common. They are playful, cuddly and bold for their size, which makes them popular first parrots for people ready for noise.

What to weigh
Sun conures in particular have piercing contact calls, and all conures can nip when overstimulated. They live 15 to 30 years, so even a small conure is a long commitment.
