A Sun Conure parrot named Sunny. Who could resist such a cute parrot? There he sits on the end of a branch; his head turned nearly 180 degrees toward his back; his dark shiny eye peering at you with a knowing look.
A bright Sun Conure parrot named Sunny. If you have ever seen a Sun Conure parrot, you know exactly what I mean. If you have not, let me describe one.
Description of a Sun Conure Parrot
Sunny, the Sun Conure parrot, is a stunning bird, dressed in a shimmering, hooded shirt of gold with a sun-kissed, orange face. His wings and tail are shades of green and blue, mixed with a hint of gold. The Sun Conure parrot is only 12″ long, including a long tail. Its beak and feet both are black. The eyes are dark brown in a white circle.
Personality of a Sun Conure Parrot
A Sun Conure parrot is a playful, inquisitive bird. Owners can’t seem to find enough words to describe these little bundles of sunshine, but they try. A few of their favorites are:
* Active
* Comical
* Cuddly
* Curious
* Cute
* Energetic
* Entertaining
* Feisty
* Fun
* Loving
* Spunky
Playtime for a Sun Conure Parrot
A Sun Conure parrot’s playtime is comical, to say the least. It loves its owners, and it loves to entertain them. Given a multitude of toys and a swing or two, the Sun Conure parrot will swing, jump, climb, and call out to you as he shows everything he can do. Even without toys, the Sun Conure parrot will develop its own tricks, just to play. It has a very high energy level, and sometimes appears to be a bundle of golden perpetual motion.
Appropriate Toys for a Sun Conure Parrot
Sun Conure parrots enjoy chewing aggressively, and will need several wooden toys to destroy. They will destroy them, too, reducing a medium-sized wooden toy to bits and pieces in a few hours. They are not as eager to play with puzzle toys, probably because they have so much energy to harness. Provide toys that call for activity and “letting off steam” and they will be happy.
Sun Conure parrots enjoy chains, ropes, and other things from which to swing. They love loud bells, but be sure you do, since a Sun Conure parrot will ring it incessantly at times. Rotate the toys every couple of weeks so that your bird will not become bored.
Appropriate Cage for a Sun Conure Parrot
Sun Conure parrots need room to fly around and use up their surplus energy. A website that recommends bird cages according to the size of the parrot, such as Bird Cages, will help you get a large enough cage. Generally, a 20″ x 20″ cage, about 3 feet high is good for a Sun Conure parrot. The bar spacing should be between 0.75 inches and 1″ so that your parrot cannot get its head stuck between the bars. To give your bird proper exercise for its feet, install 3 different perches in the cage, each made of a different substance.
The Sun Conure Parrot’s Talking Ability
Generally speaking, most parrots can be taught to talk if the owner follows a proven, consistent course of training. The Sun Conure parrot is not the best talker, however. With patience, you will be able to teach your bird a few words. With care, you will also be able to teach it not to screech for attention. It is common for Sun Conure parrots to screech to greet the day, and to end the day. In between, your bird should learn to be less vocal. Some have found that their Sun Conure parrots like to imitate beeping tones.
Food for a Sun Conure Parrot
The Sun Conure parrot does well on a basic diet of organic pellets. Organic pellets give your Sun Conure parrot a balanced diet in every bite. Avoid seed-based foods, as the parrot will pick out the seeds and leave the rest. The result will be a malnourished parrot.
In addition to organic pellets, give your parrot the variety it craves by providing fresh fruits and vegetables. Sun Conure parrots usually enjoy apples, grapes, melons, and oranges. Among vegetables, they will eat things such as broccoli, carrots, corn, lettuce, and peas. Keep seeds and nuts as a special treat.

the second parrot is my mothers Blue Crowned conure petey whom she adopted through Pheonix landing he is believed to be over the age of 16
his band reads AAA 7135
I WOULD BE SOOO GRATEFUL FOR ANYONES HELP
I’m not sure the leg-band means anything. They are mostly used in case they fly away and someone else finds them, then you can identify them by knowing the leg-band code.
Sorry

Hello,
Parrots usually wear leg bands to show that you own the bird and he was not stolen.
They usually just tell who the breeder is and his birth status number, and a few rarely show the date of birth. Other than that the leg band tell not much else, so I cannot identify it, I just know that both the tags do not show the date of birth, but the number and possible aviary. Parrots leg bands don’t necessarily were meant to help in the case of the parrot getting free and lost, that is only for tracking wild birds migratory patterns and such. Yet a parrots band could very well help it be found so it should be recorded by its owner as you have done.

They can be different, but on the cockatoo, it seems like he comes from florida. The rest is encoded and you could probably get a professional to read it.
References :
Your Bare eyed cockatoo is from Florida, he is the 266th breed of the breeder with an initial RAK.
The blue crowned is just a tag of ownership and probably the 7,135th breed and on cage AAA.
Nothing else can be done to identify them unless you found out who is RAK and AAA breeders and hope that they still have records of their breed
