Conures
Description: are amazing little birds with huge personalities. They are intelligent, and are capable of learning multiple tricks. They are not especially good talkers, but can learn some speech. They are also known for their playfulness and acrobatics.
These little colourful birds in my opinion are suitable for first time parrot owners as well as the most experienced as they are just a completely amazing bird in all ways.
Housing & Cage Size: The minimum size cage for one conure is 24 X 24 X 30 inches.
Bigger the better as they are full of energy and need space to play and clown around. They require lots of stimulating toys, hammocks, ropes and various sized perches to keep them occupied whilst inside the cage.
Be sure to check bars spacing is 1/2 to 3/4 inch apart, any bigger and they will squeeze through!
Exercise & Playtime: Conures require at least 4 hours of exercise out of the cage a day to keep its mind and body fit and healthy. A bird locked in its cage all day every day is a sad and depressed bird which can cause all sorts of issues such as plucking and behavioural issues.
