Golden Conures

Average Lifespan: 20 – 30 years

Sexing: Sexing these birds requires a DNA test, as they are not sexually dimorphic and you cannot tell the sex just by looking at them.

Origin: South America (Specifically, Brazil)

Trainability: Domestic hand-fed babies make excellent pets. Golden Conures are very affectionate parrots, and really enjoy spending time with their caretakers. They are playful and outgoing, and most are very intelligent. They are not known for being good talkers, though most will learn a word or two. They have a funny robotic sort of voice, which can be difficult to understand. Golden Conures are known for being very even-tempered, and they are less likely to bite than other parrots. Because of their easy-going and highly affectionate personalities, these Conures are one of the most highly sought-after parrots in the pet trade.

Loudness: Golden Conures can be loud from time to time – usually when they are playing or excited. But, generally, they are relatively quiet. Like all birds, they tend to be as noisy as the household in which they are raised. If they have to compete with a lot of noise to be heard, then they will probably become loud. If the household is quiet, they will typically be quiet as well.

Pricing: Golden Conures are expensive birds, due to their rarity. They can only be purchased in the state in which you live as they are on the National Endangered Species List. We are only able to sell them to Florida residents or do a “breeder’s trade” across state lines. Permits are offered for out of state commerce, but we have no knowledge of one actually being issued. Feel free to call our store at (954) 725-0088 for pricing and availability.

 

Health Guarantee of Our Birds

We have the strongest bird guarantee in the country, and more importantly, we stand behind our guarantee. The guarantee is simple: We guarantee that we are selling you a perfectly healthy bird. To verify that guarantee, within five days you need to go to an Avian Vet and get any and all testing you prefer to do on your bird, at your expense. We can guide you as to the tests we suggest. If the results are not perfect but the bird can be easily treated, then we pay for all medications and all treatment. If the results are unacceptable then we either replace your bird or refund 100% of the purchase price of your bird, at our option.

 

Bird Guarantee only lasts for the first five days

Since we have 100% control over the bird’s environment at our store, but have no control over the bird once it leaves, we can only guarantee the bird for the first five days. We guarantee that when the bird leaves the store that it has been properly socialized, and that it is 100% healthy. Your new bird has been given an excellent start here at Golden Cockatoo, and it is now your responsibility to properly care for your bird. We are always here to help you take the best care of your bird with the biggest variety and best quality bird products available in the world.

 

Lifetime Guarantee on our Birds

We guarantee that if during your lifetime, you are no longer able to properly care for your bird, or give your bird the attention it need’s, we will accept the bird back on consignment and will find another great home for your bird. We do take a 40% commission and charge a nominal daily fee to feed and clean, but you can rest assured that you always have a place for your bird should the need arise. We are the only store in Florida to offer this guarantee as of the year 2000.
