| They are one of the most brightly colored
Conures. Their feathers are mostly green, and their head is
a vivid bright red. On some Conures the red color extends
somewhat farther back on the head than others. They are one
of the largest Conures at 13 inches. They are often confused
with the Mitred Conure and do look a lot alike. Their beak
is horn colored and they have a white ring around the eyes.
They are also known as the Christmas Conure.
They do become very tame but need great attention. Cherry
Head Conures are extremely noisy. The males are wild caught
, the females domestic. They are some of the prettiest conures
there are.
You will notice that you will not find an abundance of information
in bird books about these beautiful birds. They are just recently
getting more popular to be bred in aviaries as pet birds,
because the wild ones are very noisy, and it was assumed that
they are too noisy for the average pet owner.
But as with most birds it totally depends on how the babies
are raised. If you work with your bird a lot and patiently
teach them, a Cherry Head Conure can become a very good talker.
