Conures

Conures.
Intelligent and Good Looking - but Noisy.
Conures are a very diverse, so trying to characterize them is difficult - if not impossible. Conures do not currently constitute a natural, scientific grouping.

The Nanday Conure, pictured here, is the most popular pet conure species. For relatively small birds, Nandays - and most other Conures - are noisy. So I don't recommend them if you live in close proximity to neighbors, or in an apartment. Conures are also extremely intelligent birds, capable of learning tricks, mimicking sounds, and learning a small vocabulary.

Conure prices range between a low of $100 to as much as $500 - depending on the rarity of the bird.
