    Where Are They From?
    Conures can be found in most of South and Central America. Some species are also well represented in the West Indies, as well as parts of Mexico. In the wild conures are friendly, peaceful birds and seldom fight with each other. They live together in groups of twenty or more birds, even during the mating season, and feed on various seeds, fruits, and insects. The Many Types There are five genera of conures. A brief description of each follows:
      Genus Aratinga This is by far one of the most popular genus of conures. There is some disagreement regarding the actual number of species, but the number seems to be between 15 and 21. The scientific name

http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/1492/conures.html
Conures!! Species: There are many different species of conures. The majority fall into the genus Aratinga, along with several in the genus Pyrhurra . The others are Nandayus , which is only a single species, the Nanday conure, Enicognathus , which includes the Slender-billed and Austral conures, and Cyanoliensis , the Patagonian conure. Some sources feel that some other well-known conures (including the Half Moon, Blue Crowned, and others) may also fall into genuses of their own. All conures have long tails and originate from South and Central America; also Mexico. There was one Conure, the Carolina Parakeet, that actually lived in North American as far north as New York and Chicago; however this bird went extinct due to hunting and habitat destruction in the early 1900's. Conures range in size from as tiny as 8 1/2" to up to 21"! Life span: Most conures live around 15 to 35 years. Price: $100-$500 or higher for rare species. The majority of species fall in the $200 to $400 range. Diet: Conures aren't picky about their foods. Being enormously curious and playful, they like a very varied diet and should be provided with foods that offer a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Pellets that come in different shapes and colors are often preffered over "plain" pellets. Conures are prone to "Conure Bleeding Sydrone", which is thought to be caused by a lack of Vitamin K, which is found in foods like broccoli. Cages/supplies: Conures are active and playful birds, who need a large cage to clamber around in. A large cockatiel cage will do for the small conures, the others will need a good-sized parrot cage. Be careful where you place those perches; if those long conure tails rub against the bars the tail feathers will become very ragged. Give your conure lots of toys, it will use them with gusto. They like toys they can destoy, but make sure there's no small parts they can swallow or openings where they could catch a claw or beak. Your conure will also appreciate a large playstand, again, equipped with lots of toys.

Thats a sun conure!
The sun conure possesses a multifaceted personality that will delight the experienced bird owner and pique the curiosity of the inexperienced nonbird person. They can best be described as curious, inquisitive, active and playful. They love attention and closeness from their owners.
A flock of sun conures flying across an evening sky was once said to have resembled a beautiful sunset. Hence, the name sun conure was assigned to the species. The sun conure's body color possesses a yellow-orange glow with a distinct resemblance to gold. The brilliant blend of yellow, orange, red, blue and green colors means sun conures outshine most other birds in appearance.

..that conures come in a great assortment of shapes, sizes and colors?
http://www.ruffledfeathersaviary.com/conure.htm
Did you know..... .....that Conures come in a great assortment of shapes, sizes and colors? From the 10 inch Maroon Belly to the 18 inch Patagonian, with every size in between. From the brilliantly colored Sun to the subtle yet beautiful Dusky, there is a wide range of colors and different personalities of each species to enjoy. Conures can always be depended on to be a lot of fun. They enjoy a good assortment of toys, especially the ones with bells, beads and untreated rawhide strips. Be sure the toys you pick are appropriate for the species of Conure you have. For instance, a Mitred would need a lot sturdier toy that a Maroon Belly. Conures also love swings and toys to climb on. In addition they enjoy toys that can be chewed up and destroyed, such as colored soft wood toys for the smaller birds and harder wood for the bigger ones. Experiment to find out your bird's particular preferences and needs. You can expect your Conure to be with you for quite some time, seeing as their average life span in captivity is about 30 years, providing they are cared for properly. A seed diet is not enough, it lacks Vitamin A and Calcium among other nutrients. We recommend a pelleted diet, bird pellets being available at most pet and feed stores. We at Ruffled Feathers Aviary, however, believe that a diet of about 10% seed is necessary, if anything because the birds love to crack seeds so much. A diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruit, along with pasta, brown rice and cooked beans is essential to their well-being. Please refer to our recipe page for more

In general, they are part of a large group of parrots that range from small species of 8.5 inches in length (about the size of some of the parakeets) to 19 inches (larger than some of the smaller macaws) with most of them being in the 12 to 13 inch range. They can be very colourful birds, in both appearance and personality. These birds have a never-ending source of energy. They are fun to watch because of their vibrant colours and acrobatic natures. They are pleasant and peaceful birds. Unfortunately, the voice of many Conures is not always pleasant – often consisting of bouts of loud screaming. Although not known for their talking abilities, many can develop good vocabularies, especially if handfed. Green Cheek Conures, like my Griffin pictured here are among the smaller conures that are fairly common as pets. They are generally very quiet and even their speaking voice is almost a whisper.

Conures in General
Due to conures' intelligence and beauty, they are becoming more and more popular as pets. They come in all sizes, shapes and colors; and many personalities! In the wild, they range anywhere from Mexico to the Caribbean Islands and Central to South America. Some say the conure is a smaller version of a macaw because of its slender shape and tapered tail. Generally noisy birds, conures do not mimic perfectly, but will learn a wide variety of words.

General Maintenance
Cages for conures should give them enough room so that neither their head nor their tail touches the top or bottom of the cage. The bird should be able to move freely. There should always be enough perches on a wide variety of levels for the bird to play.
Make sure the conure's cage is always clean to avoid germs and diseases.

Pyrrhura Conures as House pets
We have two Green cheeks (Pyrrhura Molinae). The first one we bought just over a year ago as a twelve week old hand reared bird (hand reared birds are taken from the nest at a very early age, they are fully bond with their human foster parents) Ann named him Konrad. His first few months with us were turbulent to say the least. His continual biting seemed incurable, but with time, training and care he is now virtually cured. Our second joined the family three months ago, he has an uncertain history having passed through the hands of several owners then arriving here with his wings clipped awfully and a toe missing which had been bitten off by an Amazon Parrot. We called him Jeffery after a family friend (human) who also has a way of getting out of tricky situations reasonably unscathed .

Conures
Conures are very popular first parrots for many people because of their availability and reasonable pricing. However, there's much more to these South American natives than that! Most of these charmers have terrific personalities. Almost all my handfed conures like to cuddle and do tricks. They usually learn to talk fairly easily, though they don't have the clearest voices or the largest vocabularies.
Conures are classified in 3 main catagories: Aratinga Nandayus and Pyrrhura
I specialize in Pyrrhura conures because of their quieter personalities. They are smaller than their Aratinga cousins, usually 8-9 inches long. Most people will find greencheeked and maroonbellied conures to be readily available in the pet trade. They are very similar in appearance and are curious, spunky birds, though they are usually shyer than their cousins.
If you don't mind a little noise, the flashier Aratinga conures, such as the Sun conure, can make excellent pets as well. In fact, most handfed conures often do not scream like their wild caught counterparts or will learn to talk instead. They range from between 10 to 17 inches in length and usually have red, orange, or yellow on their bodies. They usually have very clownish, boisterous personalities, but they like to cuddle too.
The Nandayus Nanday conures have a bad reputation because of the many flighty, loud wild-caught birds that people have had as pets. However, people who have handfed Nandays say these 12 inch parrots are entirely different birds. They can make terrific pets, have a sweet personality and are usually quieter than wild-caught birds. (The Nandays I've had have still been fairly vocal, so be sure you can handle some noise before purchasing one!) They are still one of the cheaper conures, and people who don't mind taking a chance have ended up with wonderful pets.

Sun Conure
Conures are yet another popular parrot kept as a pet. There are several subspecies, and consequently several color variations to the conure. Orange Fronted Conure Background of the Conure The conure is native to several areas of South and Central America, including Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Amazon Range, Guyana, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Paraguay. There are sereral subspecies of conure, with the Red-masked being the nominate species. In the wild, they live in flocks feeding on seeds, millet, blossoms, and fruits. Red Masked Conure Physical and Personality Characteristics The conure is a medium sized bird, being a bit smaller than an African Grey. They havelong wings and tails, and come in a variety of colors. The basic body color of the conure is green, and is usually blended with one or more other colors. Conures can be loud birds, and have a moderate ability to speak. One behavior noted to conures is head bobbing, which is how I've been greeted by conures on numerous occasions. They are good pets, and can bond to humans quite well. Most do not chew as much as Macaw's or Grey's. Nanday Conure Feeding and Accomodation Conures require a large cage, and a "T" stand can be quite helpful as well. The larger parrots should spend as much time out of their cages as possible. Cage dimensions should be at least 3'X 3'X 4', with several differnet size perches. Sturdy toys are needed, since the conure has a powerful beak. They are great chewers, but they need some entertainment.

Conures - Genus Aratinga
by Terri Leinneweber
This article originally appeared in SQUAWK, the newsletter of the Big Apple Bird Association and is reprinted with permission. Six genera of parakeets are generally classified as conures. They were previous classified as genus Conurus (from the Greek: Kone (cone) and Ourus (tail-bearing), which translated as having a cone-shaped tail. Their scientific classification has changed, but the name "conure" has stayed. There are many species of Aratinga conures "Ara" from the genus' similarity to macaws (Genus Ara) and "tinga," a diminutive, so that Aratinga literally means "little macaw." The number of species and subspecies of Aratinga varies according to the source consulted. According to the on-line version of Encyclopedia Britannica , the Britannica Home Page on the Internet, there are about 45 species of conures, broken into about 7 genera of which Aratinga is one. According to Joseph Forshaw in the third edition of

http://worldkids.net/critters/pets/birds/conures.htm
Quirky Conures By: Monica
Conures are beautiful and intelligent birds found in many sizes and colors from lush green to brilliant yellow, red, blue, orange, brown and white. A conure's natural habitat ranges from Mexico to Central America to the Caribbean and South America. They are a smaller version of the Macaw. They have a fully feathered facial area (say that five times fast!) and a high pitched unclear voice. However they can, with patience and proper training learn a few words! Conures need adequate cages that are large enough so the birds head does not touch the top of the cage and their tail does not hit the bottom. Your bird must be able to move around freely. You should also have two perches, one up high for your conure to roost at night and one near his water, food and gravel cups. The bottom of the cage should be lined with newspaper or bedding such as ground corn cob or pine shavings. Remember that if you use newspaper it must be changed daily for sanitary reasons and corn cob and shavings will be messy so be prepared to use the vacuum daily! Keep in mind your caged conure will need to be entertained at times so the toys you pick will have a positive affect on your bird. Artificial bones and metal bells are a few examples of toys available for your quirky conure. Wood perches are great but don't be surprised to see your feathered friend chew them up. You may use real branches but beware of poisonous ones! Apple and pear branches are safe.

So, you have come here expecting to find a site about skydiving eh? Well, sorry to disappoint you, but this site has nothing to do with skydiving except these two links: www.Skydiving.com www.Freefall.com I enjoy my life too much to take the risk of jumping out of a plane - plus I tend to get dizzy on a step ladder.... The rest of the site is all about our family and our pets. Oh, sorry, there is some stuff about computers, and some downloadable files. Most of the rest is personal site, nothing commercial about it. I vow to never have any pop-ups to interrupt your viewing of the page. I hate them myself, and I am sure that many other people feel the same way. Sometime in the near future I will have a bulletin board set up (once I get my own server in place - most of the hardware is sitting under my desk as I type this...) so that you can have some fun sharing words of wisdom about your own pets. I take no responsibility to any damage that might arise to your computer from the use of any of the files that you might download from this site. At some point in time I have probably used most of the tweaks myself, and I can vouch that they have worked well for me (or not worked depending - see the notes on each one).
