South American Birds

Blue-and-Gold Macaw

These birds do not mature until they are six to eight years old and spend the first two to three years with their parents. Pairs bond for life and maintain a permanent nest site.

Nanday Conure

This colourful parakeet is instantly recognizable by its black head and bib of powder-blue plumage.

Sun Conure

Little is known about how wild Sun Conures behave as there are less than 2,500 remaining in the wild. They are very social and flocks of 30 or more birds used to be common. It is now rare to find flocks of more than 12 birds.

Yellow-crowned Amazon

The Yellow-crowned Amazon has bright, lime-green feathers and a distinct yellow patch above its beak. It may also have red or yellow marks under the wings and on its beak.
