10 Types of Conures
Most of us are looking for a perfect bird that fits our personality, especially our environment, either a wide-space room or a tiny apartment. Conures are a great option, but even within the conure species, there are several types! If you’re having trouble finding the perfect conure for you, read below on 10 types of conures.
1. Half-Moon Conure
In contrast to other Conure species, they are not known to be chatters yet still vocal. Half-moon conures are highly-spirited, spontaneous and love pleasing their owner. Moreover, they are more spirited and enjoy climbing; when they are excited to see you, their heads bob and dilate their eyes, showing off for you.
2. Mitred Conure
This green and red color mitred bird has a talent to become a chit-chatter, especially when trained well. They are very curious and eager to explore what’s around them but be careful because when their attention is denied, they are prone to nipping things and screaming. Not great for starters, but with consistent training and interaction, they can be manageable and fun. Also, they are very playful, and intelligent and perform tricks.
3. Green-Cheeked Conure
Mostly, Green-Cheeked conures are not talkers, but they are full of enthusiasm. Just be keen enough since these conures are naughty and full of antics. Green cheeks are suitable for children since the bird’s size fits well with little hands but never let them be handled alone since they might bite any time if not handled well.
4. Sun Conure
Eye-catching, colorful, and friendly, these conures have long been sought-after as a companion bird but be prepared since this is one of the loudest medium-sized parrots. Regardless, if you’re persistent and dedicated to training them and daily interactions, they can be well-behaved.
Having a Sun Conure can be an excellent safeguard for your home since they are capable of releasing a deafening scream when someone is at your doorstep.
5. Jenday Conure
Jenday conures are enjoyable, highly friendly, and easy to train. However, they are persistently noisy and disturb those who are sensitive with noise. Despite that, Jenday loves to hang around with you all day, especially on your shoulder.
6. White-Eyed Conure
If you’re into conures that love to talk, this White-Eyed conure is perfect for you with consistent training and keeping an eye on them. Be mindful that these species need a lot of attention, at least 3-4 hours of interaction, since they quickly get bored and stressed like plucking feathers. When properly handled, these conures are tenderhearted and charming.
7. Queen of Bavaria Conure
The Queen of Bavaria, also called the Golden Conure, is one of the distinctive endangered species and high-priced conures. You can quickly notice this bird because it is coated in vibrant golden feathers from its crown down to its claw.
Like any other birds, they are warmhearted, really lively and love to chew specifically on woods. Try providing them with some wooden toys to keep them busy. It is recommended to make time for them since they are very active and with high energy.
8. Dusky-Headed Conure
This type of conure might not be as bold as some conures, but they are known to have a serene personality. Dusky-headed conures are popularly pet parrots. They are excellent in making you smile because of their funny character, cuddly and entertaining bird. If you’re renting an apartment, this is a perfect choice since they are relatively quiet but can dance and chirp to the music you’re listening to.
9. Crimson-Bellied Conure
These conures are recognizable because of their bright red bellies. Crimson-Bellied conures are known as pets for their affectionate, cuddly personality and deep connection with their owners. Their vocals are not as loud as their other relatives but have pleasing and soft vocalizations and tend to mimic sounds. However, don’t let them stay alone for a long time since they may rip things whatever is in their cage.
10. Patagonian Conure
Patagonian Conures are mostly called “tiny clowns” for their high-spirited personality and mimicking human speech. They are very entertaining and require a lot of attention and interaction daily to avoid mischievous doings, such as being very loud and tearing things apart. However, you must know that they are easy to be with even though someone is new to them for their outgoing nature.
