Sun Conure/ Sun Parakeet Aratinga solstitialis
The Sun Conure is a beautiful sun-coloured parrot native to north-eastern South America.
The Sun Conure is endangered, with more in captivity as pets than in the wild. It suffers from loss of habitat
and capture for plumage and the pet trade.
The female often has more green on her yellow back than the male. Her orange-red face and black beak
distinguish her from the larger Golden Conure.
