Sun Conure
The Sun Conure can be found in most of
South and Central America. Some species are also well
represented in the West Indies, as well as parts of Mexico.
In the wild sun conures are friendly, peaceful birds and
seldom fight with each other. They live together in groups
of twenty or more birds, even during the mating season, and
feed on various seeds, fruits, and insects.
Sun Conures
are capable of learning to talk, although their range is
limited and their voices are squeaky and birdlike. They like
to imitate amusing sounds (microwave beeps, etc.). They
really enjoy human attention, especially if there is no
other bird around for them to groom and play with.

At Cub Creek Science Camp we have a Sun
Conure named Peter Pan. He lives in The Jungle at the
Ranch. His small size and bright colors make him a
favorite with our Science Camp campers.
