About Conures
Found in most of South and Central America, Conures are friendly, peaceful birds that live together in groups of twenty or more birds in the wild. There are five different types of Conures which sport a variety of vibrant colors. These rather loud birds have wonderful, playful personalities that are a constant source of delight for their owners. Highly intelligent as many pet birds are, Conures can easily be taught to talk, although their speech is not as clear as that of some other parrot species. Conures are renowned  for their playful, gentle and affectionate dispositions. They bond easily with their owners and require plenty of love and attention to keep them healthy and happy. The Conures life span is from 10 to 25 years and they require plenty of love, care and attention throughout their lives. As with all intelligent, affectionate pet birds, it is important to be aware of the responsibilities that go along with ownership. Be sure to visit the Pet Bird Bookstore for owner's guides to a variety of wonderful pet birds.
