Baby Hand Fed Blue Crown Conure Parakeet

The blue-crowned conure has a large vocabulary and high intelligence to match. This species is known as one of the better talkers in the conure family, though it can be a little difficult to understand. This primarily green parrot is named for its turquoise blue crown and face. Though it is considered more “drab” than some of its cousins, its colors come alive in natural light, showing various shades of iridescent green. Its eye is surrounded by a white, fleshy periophtalmic ring. Its beak consists of two colors – the black lower mandible and the horn-colored upper mandible.
