Welcome to Parrot Kingdom

Roseifrons painted conures or rose-fronted conures( pyrrhura picta roseifrons), red- crowned parakeets or rose-fronted parakeets are from Brazil & surrounding countries: Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia....  Rose-fronted conures are from the genus pyrrhura and are one of 8 sybspecies of the painted conures.  Rose - fronted conures were eating clay at a cliff.

 Rose fronted conures are about 8-9 inches long.  They weigh about 2.5 oz or 60 to 80 grams. They are a size of a green cheek conure with a long & dark red tail. They are mainly green on its back, dark red on its belly, grey colors on its chest & red crowned head.

Juvile rose fronted conures are duller in colors.  Its head is very dark black.The beautiful rosie feathers on its head slowly develop after their six months old.

Rose-fronted conure has a same noise level as a crimson bellied conure's.  It is just half noise volume of a sun conure.  However, They only make noise to greet you or see something new or just warning for a couple minutes.

Rose fronted conures are highly social animals.   They call each other loudly here in our aviary.  Baby rose fronteds are very afectionnate.  They like to hang out with its owners.  They seem easy going to green cheek conures.

Roseifrons painted conures love to bathe.  They would bathe several times a day

They always sleep in a nestbox or a happy hut. 

We feed our birds  with:

1. We mix Higgin Sunburst Medium and Higgins Autralian Diets, millet spray, hemp seed...
2. Also small conure mixed pellets of Pretty Bird, Roudybush & Zupreem Fruitblend... 
3.  We also give them frozen mixed veggies
4. But fresh veggies are what they like the most: fresh corn, brocoli, green bean, green and red pepper, carrots...
5. Fruits: apple, orange, grape, blue berries, mango, star fruit...
6. They also like boiled eggs  & canary egg foods.
7. Basically every food that is good for you is best for a bird

It is really hard to get a rose fronted conure eating pellets.  But we always leave a lot of food options for them and slowly switch to feed them with a pellet base.

We keep separate bowls for each kind of food.  Pellets, egg food, crushed nuts and corn ( sell at Latino market)... in one bowl.  Fruits & veggies in one, mixed seed in another one and finally a large bowl of fresh and clean water.

Food that is poisonous to birds:

chocolate, avocado, beverages

Avoid food:

 lettuce, cheese, potato, apple seed

Pros:

Very social birds, it is best to keep in pairs

Quite rare

Quite, curious perfect little birds

Can be nippy if not well socialized and gentle handlings
often be splited their tails due to climbing a cage bar.

Our breeding pairs are pretty skittish.  They make a lot of noise whenever they see us but just half of sun conure's noise level.  They use their alarm calls whenever a hawk around or stranger enter our yard. 

They usually lay 4-7 eggs every other day, They incubate 22-24 days but average 3-4 babies per clutch twice per season.  They are fully fledged at 10 to 12 weeks.  Yound rose fronted conure looks like a painted conure.  The orange pink color on its head develops when the roseifron at 6 more months.
