Sun Conure

Endearing, charming, playful and personality plus packaged into a vibrant bundle of feathers.
Thats a sun conure!

The sun conure possesses a multifaceted personality that will delight the experienced bird owner and pique the curiosity of the inexperienced nonbird person. They can best be described as curious, inquisitive, active and playful.

A flock of sun conures flying across an evening sky was once said to have resembled a beautiful sunset. Hence, the name sun conure was assigned to the species. The sun conure's body color possesses a yellow-orange glow with a distinct resemblance to gold. The brilliant blend of yellow, orange, red, blue and green colors means sun conures outshine most other birds in appearance.

Pam, these days you offer us a festival of colored feathers. This sleeper is wonderful and yellow is my favorite color. Sharpness and DOF are excellent. The constrast on dark BG is great. Bravo again !

Hi Pam,
I was really struck by the beautiful quality light here. Perfectly isolated from the backround with the long focal length. The colors and detail in the plumage are superb. An outstanding portrait shot!

Good Morning Pam,
Another excellent capture from your hand..
Very good detail, color, sharpness, DOF, and light. Great BG that highlights your colorful bird well also. Are you sure this bird is sleepy? I imagine it's saying - To flash or not to flash, that is the question.. I should be ready in any case ;-}}
Very well done mf.
