Orange, gold and green, and always up for a cuddle. Sun conures are playful, affectionate and love to be where you are — a wonderful first parrot for a lively household that doesn't mind a loud hello.

Care guide
Life with a sun conure
What they eat
Quality pellets as the base, plenty of fresh fruit and veg, with seeds as an occasional treat.
Their home
A roomy cage with bar spacing around 1.5 cm, lots of chewable toys and a daily stretch outside it.
Time & attention
Social and affectionate — plan on a couple of hours of hang-out time every day.
We'll go through all of this with you in person, too — bring your questions to the meetup.
