About two years ago, I spotted a bird in a pet store (large chain). On his glassed-in cage was the label “Sun Conure.” <\/span><\/p>\n

I decided that I wanted a bird like that. First, I ordered a large cage from you; then I waited about 9 months for a bird to become available. During that time the label changed to “Fancy Conure” vice Sun Conure. <\/span><\/p>\n

The bird I purchased, my friend “Conrad”, is identical in coloring and in temperament (as described in several references) to a Sun Conure. Since we haven’t mentioned any names of pet chains (so we aren’t subject to law suit!), can you offer any thoughts on the name change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crossbreed? Avoiding the endangered species controls? Has anyone else ever raised this question???<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How many conure species are there? \u00a0You’d be amazed<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Sanford<\/span><\/p>\n

Conures can be cross bred. They should not, but it can happen if the breeders are not paying close attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Jenday Conure crossed with a Sun Conure would be called a Sunday conure.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would have no idea what they combined to come up with a “Fancy Conure”.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should ask them.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you like the bird, get it. If you are not breeding it, so what. Enjoy him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regards, <\/span><\/p>\n
