Sun Conure (Pipa), hatched 12/31/13
Hello everyone!

Pipa, my sun conure and I are newbz here. I got her about a month ago. She hatched on 12/30/13. She is as picky of an eater as her owner is! We hope to learn a lot about conures so that we can have a fantastic life together!

Well, I was told she's a sun, and I also questioned it, but after seeing this picture, I want to say she is a sun. Then again, her plumage is slowly changing into more yellowish, but her face is still reddish/orange.

I was looking at how the back is still green despite getting yellow on the front. Well, you'll know for sure one day! Either way you have a beautiful bird :)

I can see her feathers changing but not on her wings. She did snap a blood feather off, but no mess came from it and she's just her normal self. Perhaps you guys can see the little specks in these pics. I wonder as well, but she's a gorgeous little brat to me anyways :)

I'd bet money (don't hold me to it :11:) that she's a Jenday. Some really sweet pics!!

Looks like a Sun or maybe a Sunday (Sun and Jenday hybrid) to me.

Welcome to the forum! Pipa looks like a Jenday to me too, but I guess only time will tell for sure. She's a cutie either way! :)
