types of conures
Most are said to be quite loud and some types are also said to be a bit nippy. The Conure parrot species consists of more than 40 different types and they all have their own unique characteristics. There are about a dozen types of Conures that are commonly kept as pets. There are two main types of Conures: Aratinga and Pyrrhura. Pyrrhura Conures are the more popular species of Conure because they are just as beautiful and have the same personality as the Aratinga Conures, but they are smaller, less destructive, and not as loud. Conures, like most smaller parrots, can be very nippy.
Pyrrhura is the other large genus of conures. These generally greenish conures include the very common green-cheeked conure, as well as the maroon-bellied conure, pearly conure, black-capped conure, painted conure, crimson-bellied conure, and a number of other species.
