Birds

Sun Conure Parrot 
They are native to Northeastern South America.
The Sun Parakeet is noted for its very loud squawking compared to its relatively small size. As juveniles their coloring is a muted olive green, which serves as a defense mechanism in the wild.  When they mature, at approximately one year old, their coloring is a brilliant rainbow of yellow, red, orange, blue and green and are often considered the most beautiful of the Conures.They have a piercing shriek which they will use to draw attention to themselves. There numbers have been dwindling due to the demand as pets!
