These are some pictures of my little half-moon conure, Noodle. She's so friendly. (And loud when she wants to be!)

I'd never heard of half-moon conures until I saw her at the bird store; apparently they're a little bit challenging to breed.

She's adorable, isn't she? :)

That is one very cute little birdie. I too have never seen one before. And I must say that I'm a bit jealous!

Oh I love half moons one of my favorite conures! They aren't seen very much anymore! If I may ask where did you get her from? Unfortunately, all conures are loud but I think there personalities outweight their loudness!

I got her from a nice little bird store in Southern California. They hand-raise their birds themselves but I don't think they breed their own conures, so I couldn't say I know who breeds half-moons here.

Taquito is adorable! Does he say any words/mimic noises? Noodle has picked up a lot of words and sounds (kissy noises, microwave beeping) over the past few years.

May I ask which store in southern California?

Wow, both birds are gorgeous! I've never seen one of these in real life. How big are they compared to GCCs?

They are pretty small! I'd say similar in size to GCC's, maybe a tiny bit stockier. Their tails are shorter than GCC's.

I wonder how these birds do with solar eclipses. Do they go all 'full moon'? Whaaaahahahah
