Sun parakeet feeding on a fig

Sun Conure Parrot perched on a branch of a fig tree nibbling on a ripe fig. Sun Conure parrots feed on fruit, berries, nuts, and even flowers. They generally inhabit coastal woodland and rain forests, only appearing in more open areas when travelling between wooded areas. Sun Conure Parrots (also known as Sun Parakeet) are an endangered species due to loss of their habitat. They are known for their beautifully bright colouring and originate from the forests of northeastern South America.
