"Scientific Name: Psittacara leucophthalmus Native Range: Central and South America The White-eyed Conure is a medium-sized parrot species within the family Psittacidae. It is characterized by predominantly green plumage, a long tapered tail, red patches on the wings and face, and a distinctive white periophthalmic (eye) ring, which gives the species its common name. In the wild, White-eyed Conures inhabit a wide range of environments, including tropical and subtropical forests, woodland edges, savannas, and urban areas across Central and South America. They nest in tree cavities and are often found in pairs or small flocks. At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive. All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
