The Jenday Conure, very similar to the Sun Conure, is a small sized parrot species within the family Psittacidae. It is characterized by a bright orange-yellow head and body, green wings and back, and blue primary flight feathers. In the wild, Jenday Conures inhabit dry forests, savannas, palm groves, and woodland regions of northeastern Brazil. They typically nest in tree cavities and are often observed in small flocks.
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive.
All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
