1 What Are the Advantages of the Sun Conure?

Advantages of the Sun Conure

1. Strong Disease Resistance

Sun Conures are hardy and robust, rarely falling ill, so owners seldom need to ask about their health problems.

2. Good Free-Flight Ability

Sun Conures have strong sense of direction, adaptability, and trainability. With a little training they quickly learn to fly freely and return.

3. Less Feather Dust

Feather dust is a secretion produced during a parrot’s metabolism that protects feathers and provides water resistance and pest control. Different species produce different amounts—cockatoos, African greys, and cockatiels produce the most; touching them leaves your hand covered in powder like a chalkboard. If anyone in the household has respiratory issues or is a neat freak, avoid these three and choose a Sun Conure, which produces relatively little feather dust.

4. Affectionate

As chicks, Sun Conures are like dolls, tolerating any handling from their owner. As they grow, they develop their own minds, so we recommend training them from a young age to maintain their long-term affection.

5. Relatively Low Price

Sun Conures cost less than many other parrots, yet make excellent pets. Because they are easy to keep and breed, they are popular with breeders; as supply grows, prices naturally fall. Overall, they offer great value.
