Jenday Conure

The Jenday Conure or Jandaya Parakeet (Aratinga jandaya) is a bird of the parrot family native to north-eastern Brazil. While the Jenday has a very loud shrill call they may not have the high pitch of a Sun Conure. Like most conures, Jendays are also known for their sociable disposition and playful behaviour. These small parrots are highly intelligent, and can often learn several words and phrases, but are not known for their talking ability. Jendays often enjoy learning tricks, and should be handled frequently. Jenday conures are very closely related to the sun conure, they look almost exactly the same. The only difference is that jenday conures have very dark green wing and back feathers with blue tipped wings and tail feathers. it is hard to tell the difference when they are young because the sun has the same green as Jendays before their first molt.
