Description
Scientific Name: Aratinga solstitialis Native Range: South America The Sun Conure, also known as the Sun Parakeet, is a small-sized parrot species within the family Psittacidae. It is characterized by vibrant yellow plumage with orange and red coloration on the head and body, along with green and blue on the wings and tail. In the wild, Sun Conures inhabit tropical and subtropical forests, savannas, and palm groves across northern South America. They nest in tree cavities and are typically found in small flocks. IUCN Conservation Status: Endangered 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 parrotβs 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.
