Conures
Elite Procurement Fee: $120
BEST FOR:
You don’t need prior bird experience to own a conure, but it helps to know what you’re in for: a very vocal companion. They can screech, so they’re better for homes without close neighbors. Conures need plenty of quality time, enriching toys, and one-on-one attention.
Intelligent, playful conures come in various sizes, types, and colors, from the smaller green-cheeked conure to the larger sun and blue-crowned conures. They’re handleable and clownish. They play games. They can be sassy and destructive if startled, scared, or not appropriately socialized.
