The Conure Parrot is a moderate sized bird that originates in the New World. They are members of the Arinae family, and they are often used for bird keeping.

The Conure Parrot can come in a number of different varieties, and they can be large or small. One thing that all these birds have in common is that they will be found in the western hemisphere. They are similar in size to the Australian parakeet and the Rose-ringed Parakeets. The Conure Parrot will generally be found in either Central or South America, and they are often referred to as being the Parrot family clowns because their constant attempts to seek attention.

Some of these antics include hanging upside down, swinging back and forth, and even dancing. While they are quite large as far as parakeets are concerned, the Conure Parrot has a light build, but their tails are exceptionally long. While their beaks are small in size, they are quite strong. The beak of the Conure Parrot will contain a small cere, and it will generally have a black color. The Conure Parrot will typically live in flocks, and these flocks will generally eat grain together. Because of this, many people living in their range consider them to be a pest.

It should be noted that there are many varieties of the Conure Parrot, so many in fact that it is challenging to list them all in this article. The term "Conure Parrot" is quite loose, and the term is most often used in aviculture. Scientists will often call these birds either parakeets or parrots. Their behavior makes them distinct among members of these families. In addition to their original habitat, these birds can also be found in the San Gabriel region of California, where their food of choice is abundant. In addition to this, the California climate is also conducive to the needs of these birds.

The Conure Parrots which live in the wild areas of California are descendants of former Conure birds that were kept by humans, but which either escaped or were released. Some people actually recapture these birds in the wild and then keep them as pets, which has finished up a type of cycle. Some Conure Parrots have been seen in the wild as far north as Long Beach, California, and they have been observed in the region since the 1980s. One thing which makes these birds distinct is their ability to adapt to urban like environments. Colonies of Conure Parrots have been found in places which are far from their natural habitat, and there is much debate as to what allowed them to get there.

Conure Parrots have become very popular due to their antics and personality, and they have frequently been featured in popular media. Perhaps the best example of this is the movie Paulie, which features a Conure Parrot with a Blue Crown. One thing that all the members of this family will have in common is a curved beak.

i suggest you don't get a conure as your first bird. But if you really love em.... you are best off with a green cheek conure . Otherwise get a parakeet, love bird or cockatiel.
I love my conure, but I'm very thankful i got experience from my parakeet. It would have been to much to handle if i got my conure first.

Just curious - Why do you recommend not getting a conure as your first bird? The only negative I've ever really seen with my conure (who I've owned for 17 years - since she was just a baby)is the incredible noise that a conure can make.

Aside from that they are smart, funny, loveable, make a huge mess with their food just like all parrots, and demand attention - just like most parrots.

Giving a parrot the level of attention that they usually demand can mean alot of time spent with your bird and I'm sure there are some species that don't require so much love and attention. But if you are going to get a pet as intelligent as a parrot you have to know that you will be called upon to keep your birdy buddy from becoming bored. Sort of like your average toddler.

I got the conure as a beginner bird as I wanted a macaw. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do that as no one in the family wanted to additional screeching nor did I feel I had the time to give to two parrots.

Now that the kids are grown I'm considering another parrot though probably one of the smaller species like a Senegal or a Lorie.
