Common questions

How long do Wagler Conures live?

Wagler Conures typically live 25-30 years in good conditions. That is a long commitment for any household, and worth planning for before buying rather than after.

How loud are Wagler 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 Wagler Conures talk?

Some speech. 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 Wagler Conure need?

A minimum of 30in x 24in x 36in, and wider matters more than taller - birds fly across rather than up. Treat any minimum as a floor rather than a target.

Are Wagler 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 Wagler 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.
