Common questions
How much does a Jenday Conure cost?
Most Jenday Conures listed on BirdBreeders.com in the last twelve months were priced between $600 and $900, with a midpoint around $800. 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 Jenday Conures live?
Jenday 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 Jenday Conures?
Very 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 Jenday 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.
How big do Jenday Conures get?
An adult is roughly 11.0-12.0 in from head to tail, weighing around 125-140 g.
What size cage does a Jenday Conure need?
A minimum of 24in x 24in x 30in, and wider matters more than taller - birds fly across rather than up. Bar spacing should be 5/8 - 3/4 in. Treat any minimum as a floor rather than a target.
What do Jenday Conures eat?
A pelleted base with fresh vegetables and limited fruit. Close kin to the Sun Conure and every bit as loud.
Are Jenday Conures good for a first-time owner?
Some experience needed. 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 Jenday 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.
Where do Jenday Conures come from?
North-eastern Brazil. Birds offered here are captive bred.
