Sun Conure Hard Enamel Pin

Show some love for your little feathered friend with this Sun Conure hard enamel pin. Also known as the Sun Parakeet, the Sun Conure is native to north-eastern South America and is a charismatic, lively and vocal parrot, famous for its brilliant orange and yellow plumage and playful nature.

Sun Conures are notoriously loud, with high-pitched calls that can carry hundreds of metres. That helps them keep in touch in the wild, but it can be a surprise for new owners who aren’t expecting quite so much volume indoors. Sadly, wild Sun Conures are now endangered, mainly due to trapping for the pet trade.

Fun fact: The Sun Conure’s scientific name is Aratinga solstitialis. Aratinga is a genus of South American conures, and solstitialis comes from Latin, meaning “of the summer solstice”, hence the name Sun Conure.
