Conures are a group of small to medium-sized parrots that are playful, intelligent and often referred to as the clowns of the parrot family. Conures are capable of learning to talk and can be taught tricks and are appropriate both for beginner or experienced bird owners. A tame Conure will quickly bond to its new owners and become part of the family.
