CONURES

Conures are native to Central and South America. These parrots have variation in size. The Carolina Conure Parakeet is the extinct specie and is indigenous to the United States.They come in great range of colors. These Parakeets have greater tendency to adapt with weather, temperature and diet changes better than other species.The average length of Conure is about 12 inches.
They reach maturity at 1 to 3 years -- the smaller Conures mature more quickly. The average life span of a Conure is approx 10 to 20 years in wild and 20 to 30 years in captivity depending on the environment provided.
Conures have great sense of humor. With a little traning, they can easily be trained to do tricks. Most may learn to talk. Conures, in general, love to snuggle under things, so providing them with a tightly woven wash cloth, soft piece of fabric, or fuzzy toy will be appreciated.
Conures can be very noisy and are generally known for their cuddliness, if not Trained and socialized properly. They do enjoy learning new tricks and can be very entertaining. They love to dance and can also be taught to go the toilet with a simple command such as "toilet". Canures are well adaptors even in the presence of another species, they enjoy the company of both humans and other birds. Conures do require more time and effort than say a cocktail or budgie. Please keep this in mind. Owners report that they are smart and interactive, but are also more prone to behavioral problems than are cocktails or budgies - but this would be the case with any conure. They all require a committed owner who will work with their pets to guide their behavior, while cockatiels and budgies are "beginner birds."

In captivity always ensure that your Conure has a cage that is large enough to accommodate his active nature. While Conures are not large birds, they require a lot space to move around and play.Cage with measurements of 44"x26"x40" is ideal and should come with a secure door entrance. Conures are smart little critters and will easily figure out how to enter and exit a cage that does not securely close.
