Our Blue-crowned Conure is housed in the Jungle at Cub
Creek Science Camp. He lives in a free flight cage
with a Sunday Conure named Sunday. This cage is large
enough to allow campers to enter. This way our birds
don't need to leave their home in order to interact with
people.
Blue Crowned Conure
from the family
Aratinga
The Blue-crowned Conure is a small member of
the parrot family. They are native to the central
areas of South America from eastern Colombia and northern
Venezuela south to Paraguay, Uruguay, and northern
Argentina. They inhabit the more arid regions of tropical
zones living in thickets, grasslands, savannahs, and along
the edge of forests.
Though initially somewhat shy, the
Blue-crowned conure is very intelligent and will become a
very tame, loveable companion. They enjoy playing and can
become very lively and active. Though they are generally a
quieter bird than most of their Aratinga cousins, they can
become rather loud and this should be taken into
consideration when obtaining.
At Cub Creek Science Camp we
have a Blue Crowned Conure named Einstein. He loves
attention and will land on your head to get a peanut.
He will bark like a dog to the surprise of our Science Camp
campers. He is a sweet natured bird and very smart.
