Sun Conure

The sun conure is a social, medium-sized parrot native to a restricted part of northeastern South America. Its adult plumage combines yellow, orange and green, with a dark bill and pale bare skin around the eye. Strong feet and a curved bill help it climb and handle food. Groups move between wooded feeding and shelter sites, while tree cavities provide nesting places. Its familiar companion-bird name refers to the same bird as sun parakeet.
