White-eyed Conures



The White-eyed Conures are native to much of northern South America, except the western seaboard. It ranges from eastern Colombia to the Guianas and southwards as far as Argentina and Uruguay. This conure is endangered in its natural habitat.

White-Eyed Conures are medium-sized conures at about 12 to 13 inches (32 cm) in average length. They are mainly green, except for some red coloring on the edges of their wings and over the head. Their irises are orange.
In young birds the red feathers on the head and under the wings are absent.
The White-eyed Conures are amongst the better talkers of the conure family. Personality always varies from bird to bird, but they are generally known to be very playful and inquisitive. As is the case with most conure species, they can get loud at times. Some more often than others -- depending on personality and training.
They have big personalities for such small birds. Owners report that they are smart and interactive. They all require a committed owner who will work with their pets to guide their behavior, while cockatiels and budgies are "beginner birds."
