How to Live with a Conure
Conures are small to medium-sized birds that are colorful, energetic and fun birds to have in the home. The most common pet conures are of the Aratinga genus, although there are other genera that are less popular.
What to Know About Your Conure
Native to Mexico and Central America, conures are sociable and tend to gather in flocks in the wild. This personality characteristic extends to captive living, as they enjoy attention and family play time. Conures are not known for their mimicking ability, and they can be loud and raucous during morning and evening hours.
Is My Conure a Boy or Girl?
Because the genders are difficult to distinguish via physical characteristics alone, it is necessary to use endoscopy or laboratory methods to determine the sex of your conure.
How to Keep Your Conure Happy and Healthy
Conures are adventurous and can be entertained by a simple brown bag in their enclosure or by offering simple safe toys and safe branches to chew. Conures may be vulnerable to skin and feather disorders, bleeding syndrome, bacterial infections, papillomatosis, and other health issues, many of which may be reduced through adequate nutrition. Due to their adventurous spirit, they may suffer from injuries or exhibit behavioral problems.
