Gingee is my first conure,I was told she was a sun conure.But the guy also said she was weaned [and wasnt ,I had to finish weaning her] I am really not believing in what he said .Shes a year old now. Ive seen younger suns with more yellow on their wings.Im wondering if shes a Jenday or some sort of cross. Also she puffs up and rocks back and forth [like shes dancing] Does other conures do this? I take this as something non aggr

essive. If my caiques did this they would be coming to get you . LOL

Just because you've seen younger suns with more yellow doesn't mean she isn't one!!!! She's got the sun face, so there's no doubt that she's not a jenday!


It's possible she's a sunday, but I'm sticking with sun, thinking she might be a late bloomer is all.

shes a Sun for sure! they will have varying amounts of yellow though each is different! and yes other conures do that sometimes each conure will have its own quirks especially a sun conure!!!

A side photo would be more helpful

Your conure could be a Sunday, but only time will tell. Has she already gone through a molt?

My Green Cheek puffs up a lot...my daughter actually calls him Puffy. Maybe its just a comforting thing.

 

[Pinkbirdy]

No big molt yet.

I'm still seeing sun... stomach isn't right color for a jenday or sunday, unless he's more than half sun (i.e. sun x sunday hybrid rather than sun x jenday).

So we gotta wait for her molt this year!!!

Looks about close to what my Sun looks like (I estimate her at about a year.) But I suspect she might be a hybrid as well. Only time will tell!

Usually when they puff up and rock, it is an aggressive stand.

My caiques do for sure. But when she does it [My Conure] shes trying to get my kids attention and they laugh and do it with her [she does it more like shes dancing ]

My vote's for sun conure, but her first molt will do away with most of the green on her wings.....just be patient, give her a chance to show her finery.....

One of the difference in the stance are the wings. When they want to go to you, their wings/shoulder will flutter, when more of a warning, the wings either stay put or are slightly away from their body.
