| Phoebe
Phoebe is a female
painted conure (Pyrrhura picta) who hatched on September 26, 2006.
Phoebe
joined our flock in January 2007 and is buddies with
Freddie,
our female green-cheeked conure.
Phoebe is
a very sweet and somewhat shy bird. She was raised by
an excellent breeder and knows how to step up. She's
definitely more laid back and quieter than Freddie but she
has a curious nature and loves to set out on expeditions to
explore the area around her cage.

About painted conures
Painted conures belong to the
Pyrrhura
genus of conures. They are among the smaller of
the
conure species and do not tend to be as noisy as the
larger conure species.
According the experts, painted
conures tend to be a bit more laid back than the
green-cheeked conure, although they are still quite
active little birds.
They are also known to talk.
Phoebe doesn't talk at this point but
she does communicate using a series of squeaks and
squawks. She is our quietest conure but she's
still quite new to our home and is likely settling in. |
