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.
- Best fit
- First parrot, active households
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.
