Birds we classify as “Smaller” species<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

FYI\u00a0 There’s something like 100 species of Conures<\/a>. Conures need to be subdivided into small, medium & large (which is on our to-do list)<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

\nGreen cheek conures weigh 64 grams (cockatiels are about 100 grams – Patagonian conures weight about 280 grams, about the size of a Timneh African grey.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Don’t think for a minute conures can be classified into one size category<\/span><\/p>\n
