‘Conure’ is a very general term for a bunch of genera of parakeets or small parrots naturally found in Central and South America. Many are kept as pets, some more commonly than others. Popular genera include Pyrrhura (including the very popular green-cheeked conure), Aratinga (including the sun conure), Psittacara and the monotypic Cyanoliseus patagonus (Patagonian conure).
