Common questions

How much does a Half Moon Conure cost?

Most Half Moon Conures listed on BirdBreeders.com in the last twelve months were priced between $650 and $700, with a midpoint around $650. That is drawn from 22 real listings by breeders on this site over that period, not an estimate. Price varies with age, hand-feeding, DNA sexing and the breeder's location.

How long do Half Moon Conures live?

Half Moon Conures typically live 20-30 years in good conditions. That is a long commitment for any household, and worth planning for before buying rather than after.

How loud are Half Moon Conures?

Loud. Noise is the most common reason parrots are rehomed, so it is worth being honest with yourself about your home, your neighbours and the hours you keep before choosing a species.

Do Half Moon Conures talk?

Occasional words. No individual bird can be promised to speak, whatever the species is known for, so buy for the company rather than the conversation.

What size cage does a Half Moon Conure need?

A minimum of 24in x 24in x 30in, and wider matters more than taller - birds fly across rather than up. Treat any minimum as a floor rather than a target.

Are Half Moon Conures good for a first-time owner?

Fairly easy. Ask any breeder directly what they think of the match - a breeder who talks you out of a species is worth more than one who does not.

Do Half Moon Conures produce a lot of dust?

Low. It matters more than most people expect for anyone with asthma, and it is worth raising with a doctor before buying rather than afterwards.
