Sunday Conure

Conures are medium-sized parrots which make charming and playful pet birds. Before buying one a few points are worth noting.

Conures are a type of parakeet. They can be trained relatively easily as they are sociable birds. As a pet, they are smaller than the large parrots but have many of their qualities.

There are around forty conure species but numerous subspecies, giving rise to a wide variety of sizes, colours and natural characteristics.

Conures broadly divide into two main types. These are the smaller Pyrrhura, the smallest being around 8.5 inches long and the larger Aratinga which can be as long as 18 inches.  This information was taken from www.suite101.com

At Cub Creek Science Camp we have a Sunday Conure named Sundae.  He is a cross between a Jenday Conure and a Sun Conure. He is housed in The Jungle area of the Ranch with Einstien.  One of his favorite treats is sunflower seeds.
