Big personality, small-ish body, stadium-level volume. The clown of the parrot world.
Quick answer: Blue-crowned conure is a variety of conures. Everything on this page is conures-level guidance — we do not invent variety-specific numbers.
The care below is conures-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Exotic & Laboratory Animals: Pet Birds and RSPCA — Pet birds advice. It applies to Blue-crowned conure exactly as it applies to every other conures variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.
Diet and chewing
Pellet base (60–70%), daily vegetables, some fruit, and hard chew toys (pine, manzanita) to wear the ever-growing beak. Sun conures in particular are prone to obesity on rich diets. No avocado, chocolate, caffeine, or salt. A cuttlebone and fresh water daily.
Noise: the honest dealbreaker
Be real about volume. A sun conure's excited scream hits ~120 dB — louder than a lawnmower — and can last minutes. Green-cheeks are far quieter and better for apartments. If you have thin walls or noise-sensitive neighbors, choose a green-cheek and never a sun. Earplugs are not a lifestyle.
