Conures are a diverse, loosely defined group of small to medium-sized parrots. They are smart and interactive and are prone to behavioral problems than the more common, smaller cockatiels or budgies. They have a big personality for a small bird.
Conures are not the best talkers of the parrot world, but they are also far from the worst. It’s quite typical for a conure to say at least a few words, and some have much larger vocabularies, according to experts.
