Our Small Birds

Our small birds include a Sun Conure, a Golden-capped Conure, two Jenday Conures, a Mitred Conure, and a Nanday Conure. Sun Conures are found primarily in northeast Brazil, Guyana, Surinam French Guiana and the extreme southeast of Venezuela.

They are found in savannas with bushes and trees, open forest and palm groves. Golden-capped Conures also originate from Brazil.

People often underestimate how much it costs to care for smaller birds. Surprisingly, small birds have huge appetites! Our small birds are fed a healthy, fresh diet similar to what they would eat in the wild-an abundant variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. They are also excellent "toy destroyers, " which creates an ongoing need for new and exciting toys. All birds-even the little guys-are unbelievably messy. We use natural, non-toxic cleaning supplies in the Garuda Aviary to protect these sensitive creatures, which adds to our costs. We hope you'll decide to sponsor one of our small birds below and help save a life!

The bright colors and attractive and exotic look of these beautiful birds is what often make them so attractive to buyers.

Lovey is a Sun Conure who arrived with Scarlet. Their owner's five dogs were a potential danger to the little birds. In spite of the appearance of her beak (another bird bit it off), we think Lovey is quite lovely. She is remarkably affectionate, and-true to her name-Lovey is equally trusting of anyone with a kind heart.

Lollie, a Jenday conure, came to Garuda Aviary along with Chewy. Chewy and Lollie were hatchmates who were adopted separately by their owner. Lollie alone was a delight, but when Chewy was added, the ear-splitting conure screaming began! It’s hard to believe the racket that can come from such pretty little birds. Screaming—especially at sunrise and sunset—is an instinctive behavior that serves to alert the flock that it’s time to move. At Garuda Aviary, they are free to scream as loud as they want, and we have the earplugs to prove it!

Chewy is a Jenday Conure, and, like the rest of our conures, he is both adorable and noisy! Many people adopt conures based on their petite size and spectacular plumage, not knowing how incredibly loud they can be. The addition of Chewy to her owner's home inspired her first conure, Lollie, to become quite the screamer. Screaming from joy (it's a flock thing), they wore down the nerves of their owner and her dogs, and Garuda Aviary soon became their new home.

Scarlet is a Golden-capped Conure. (We're not really sure if Scarlet is a he or a she, but s/he is spectacular nonetheless!) Scarlet arrived at Garuda Aviary along with her buddy, Lovey, because their owner's five dogs were potentially dangerous to the birds. Scarlet's funny little habit is to lean her back against your chest while you rub her beak! She is delightfully affectionate and oh, so cute.
