If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.  ~C.S. Lewis

Fun With Bird Breeds- Jenday Conure Parrot

March 26th, 2010 | Author: Valerie

The Jenday Conure Parrot

Jenday Conures are beautiful birds, with yellow on their heads that turns brilliant colors of green along the body to the tip of the tail. Their underbellies are covered with crimson, while they have orange feathers on their abdomen. You can also see hues of  blue on their feathers on the bottom of their wings.

Jendays are around 10-12 inches. The males usually weigh around 4.4 ounces, while the females weigh 5 ounces on average. If cared for properly, their life expectancy is 20 years.

They are native to northeastern Brazil. In the wild, these social birds can be found living either in pairs or in small groups of 10-15 birds.

Jenday Conures are known as one of the more loving Conures. In fact, Jenday Conures are second in popularity as a companion parrot only to the Sun Conure. They are basically noisy all of the time, screeching sometimes just for the heck of it, or for attention. These birds are highly intelligent, though, and can be trained very easily if properly socialized and handled by an owner who takes the time and patience to build a strong bond of trust with their parrot.

These sweet birds are generally calm and not known to be aggressive biters, so they are considered good family birds. As with any pet, do not leave your child unattended with your bird. They are very playful, active and social and require daily exercise and playtime. While in their cages, you may see them hopping around from perch to perch, or jumping through loops. Many of these pets spend the majority of their time out of their cage, and on a perch or in a play pen of some sort. This is how they are most happy.

If you live in an apartment, or a community with shared walls, be prepared to train your Jenday not to screech, or to be kicked out of your place! You can train your bird not to screech through trick training.

These birds need large cages. If they are kept in too small of a cage, they can get very bored and this can result in screaming, aggression and possibly plucking out their own feathers. A good cage size for the Jenday is 25″ W x 25″ D x 30″ H, with metal bars spaced no more than 1/2 inch apart. Proper cage size is very important, as these guys need room to play and move around, even while in their cages.

A proper diet for the Jenday Conure is a pellet based diet with fresh fruit and veggies daily.

Here is a bird rescue and other links where you can find some wonderful birds for adoption! Please consider adoption before buying.

The Jenday can be told apart by it's cousin, the Sun Conure, because Jendays have green wings and back, when Suns have yellow wings

The following blog lists several of the pet shelters and rescues in the Gwinnett County area, including Lawrenceville, Suwanee, Dacula, Duluth, Snellville and Lilburn. Whether you are looking for a certain breed or just the “perfect” pet for you, there are plenty of rescue groups and shelters in the area to find the pet you are looking for… and you’re saving a life. 90,000 dogs and cats die in Atlanta area shelters every year! Please, consider adoptions instead of purchasing a pet. If I’ve left any shelters or rescues out, please let me know and I will happily add it to this list.
