   Conures are very active, graceful, and beautiful!

     Conures are a smaller version of the macaw and are found in many sizes and colors. In nature the conures live in flocks or family groups and are very friendly and peaceful birds. Because of their social disposition, many can become finger tamed in just a few weeks! These birds are also very hardy and will breed fairly easily in captivity.

    Though they can be noisy, conures are enjoyed as pets not only for their beauty and disposition, but because they are highly intelligent and so are quick to learn tricks and to talk.
