"CONSERVATION BREEDING PROGRAM"

Golden Conure (permit required)

Guaruba guarouba

   Golden Conures, also known as Queen of Bavaria's are seriously endangered in their native lands of Brazil.   Golden Conures are disappearing from the Brazilian rainforest at an alarming rate due to deforestation and are listed on CITES I, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.   Here at R&B Aviaries, Golden Conures are one of the species we keep in a "Conservation Breeding Program." 
All offspring are "parent-reared" in hopes of assuring reliable future breeders.  A Federal permit is required to keep and breed these magnificent birds.  These rare birds are not offered as pets but we do interact with other breeders of this species, who hold the appropriate permit, to add or exchange unrelated offspring to maintain pure genetic bloodlines.  

SPECIES PROFILE:

   Golden Conures are medium sized parrots that measure about 13.5 inches.  Their beak is horn colored and is surprisingly large in relation to their size.   The obvious, most striking feature of Golden Conures is their brilliant yellow coloration,  which stands out in contrast to the deep green of the covert wing feathers.
