Sun Conure For Sale In Victoria

When you see a happy, confident hand-reared baby Sun Conure in our store, it’s the result of 6–8 weeks of dedicated care. From very early on they require specialised formula feeds, often five times a day, including early mornings and late nights. Every feed has to be the right temperature and consistency.

Beyond feeding, each bird needs daily handling and interaction so they grow up trusting people. As they grow, chicks must be carefully weaned onto solid foods, encouraged to perch, and supported through key development stages with constant attention to behaviour, health, and development.

By the time a bird is ready to leave its hand rearer for a new home, it has already been fed, nurtured, socialised, and guided through its most important stages of life—resulting in a friendly, well-adjusted bird.

A cage is important for your Sun Conure and should have enough room for your bird to flap and stretch its wings. A minimum size of 60 × 60 × 60 cm is recommended. More importantly, a playground or an area where your bird can have freedom is helpful.

Sun Conures need to be out of their cage to be kept the friendliest, and at VBC we have a variety of playgrounds and stands available.

Sun Conure parrots are ready to breed after two years of age. They produce from July to February and lay two eggs, which hatch after 28–30 days. Chicks leave the nest at 11–12 weeks and are ready for new homes 2–3 weeks after leaving the nest.

A parrot-sized nest box approximately 30 × 70 cm, lined with parrot nesting material available from VBC, is suitable to use for breeding.

If you are interested in breeding Sun Conure parrots, your investment for a pair specifically for breeding will range from $799–$999.

Sun Conure parrots are native to South America, from countries such as Brazil and Guyana. They have great personalities; both male and female talk well, but they can be a bit noisy. Belonging to the Aratinga family, these birds are very amusing, easy to train, and can learn a few simple words.

They can grow up to 30 cm long and live between 15 and 30 years. Their plumage is bright yellow and orange with splotches of green and blue on their wings and tail. There is no visual difference between male and female.

Juvenile birds have green plumage which turns yellow and orange as they mature.
