yes they are great we birds i think there is 5 sub species.
White-eared Conures This is more recently been identified as a group of four or five separate species (previously sub-species) where the ear area is featured as a white feathering in appearance. Now becoming quite rare in some of it's natural areas in Brazil. Not so often seen in collections nowadays and some sub-species very difficult to find.
White-eared Conure (leucotis) which is probably the most commonly kept.
Grey-breasted Conure (griseipectus) is similar to the White-eared but with white ear feathering more extensive, without blue to the forehead and breast grey with bright white edge feathering.
Emmas Conure (emma) is similar to the White-eared but with front of crown and nape bright blue, breast edging feathers turning yellowish and white eye rings.
The other two species Pfimers Conure (pfrimeri) and Monogas White-eared Conures (auricularis) are rearly seen in captive bred collections. It is also thought by some that the auricularis is probably the same specie as Emmas conure with the difference only in periopthalmic eye ring, being due to whether birds are kept inside or outside as often seen with other parrot species.
