Jenday Conure Parrot For Sale
A Jenday Conure Parrot is one of the most colorful and affectionate conures you can bring into your home. Known scientifically as Aratinga jandaya, this medium-sized parrot is loved for its bright yellow head, fiery orange chest, green wings, playful personality, and strong bond with people.
At All Wings Aviary, our Jenday Conures are hand-fed, socialized, DNA-sexed, and vet-checked before going to their new homes. Each bird is raised with daily human interaction so it grows into a confident, friendly, and affectionate companion.
If you are looking for a Jenday Conure for sale, this bird is best for someone who wants a social, active, and vocal parrot that enjoys being part of the family.
Is A Jenday Conure A Good Pet?
Yes, a Jenday Conure can be an excellent pet for the right owner. This parrot is best for someone who has time for daily interaction and understands that conures can be loud, energetic, and demanding.
A Jenday Conure is a good choice if you want a bird that:
- Enjoys human attention
- Likes to play and explore
- Can bond closely with one or more family members
- Has beautiful natural colors
- Can learn tricks and some words
- Wants to be part of daily family life
This parrot may not be the best choice if you want a quiet, low-maintenance pet. Jenday Conures need time, patience, toys, training, and daily care.
Jenday Conure Temperament And Personality
The Jenday Conure is known for being affectionate, active, and social. Many owners describe this bird as a small parrot with a big personality.
A hand-fed Jenday Conure usually becomes comfortable around people more easily because it has been handled from a young age. These birds often enjoy:
- Shoulder time
- Head scratches
- Step-up training
- Foraging toys
- Chewing safe wooden toys
- Playing with bells, ropes, and bird-safe puzzles
- Following their owner around the home
Because they are very social, they can become bored or loud if they are ignored for long periods. A Jenday Conure needs daily attention and mental stimulation to stay happy.
Are Jenday Conures Loud?
Yes, Jenday Conures are loud birds. This is one of the most important things buyers should know before purchasing one.
They naturally use strong calls to communicate. In a home, they may call in the morning, evening, when excited, when seeking attention, or when they hear other household sounds.
A Jenday Conure may not be the best fit for:
- Apartments with thin walls
- Dorm rooms
- Noise-sensitive households
- Owners who work long hours and cannot give enough attention
- People who want a quiet bird
Training, routine, toys, and daily interaction can help reduce unnecessary screaming, but no training can make a Jenday Conure completely quiet.
Can A Jenday Conure Talk?
A Jenday Conure can learn to talk, but it is not considered one of the best talking parrots. Some Jenday Conures learn words, short phrases, whistles, and household sounds. Others may only mimic a few noises.
Common sounds they may learn include:
- Their name
- “Hello”
- “Step up”
- Kissing sounds
- Whistles
- Laughing sounds
- Doorbells or phone sounds
If your main goal is to buy a strong talking parrot, a Jenday Conure may not be the best first choice. If you want a colorful, affectionate, playful bird that may also learn some words, a Jenday Conure is a wonderful option.
Hand-Fed Jenday Conure For Sale
Our Jenday Conures are hand-fed by experienced breeders. Hand-feeding helps young birds become familiar with people and daily handling.
A hand-fed conure is usually:
- More comfortable around humans
- Easier to train
- More likely to accept handling
- More confident in a home environment
- Better prepared for bonding with a new owner
We do not recommend buying unweaned parrots unless you are a trained and experienced hand-feeder. Unweaned baby parrots require specialized feeding, temperature control, and monitoring. At All Wings Aviary, birds are placed only when they are ready for a safe transition.
DNA-Sexed Jenday Conure Parrot
Jenday Conures are not visually easy to sex. Males and females usually look very similar, so DNA testing is the most accurate way to determine gender.
Each Jenday Conure from All Wings Aviary is DNA-sexed and comes with documentation. This gives you confidence when choosing your bird, especially if you prefer a male or female companion.
DNA sexing is helpful for:
- Knowing the bird’s gender
- Planning for future pairing decisions
- Avoiding guesswork
- Keeping proper records
- Giving buyers peace of mind
Vet-Checked And Health Guaranteed
Every Jenday Conure parrot from All Wings Aviary is checked for health before going to a new home. A healthy bird should be alert, active, responsive, and properly weaned.
Our birds come with:
- Veterinary health check
- DNA sexing documentation
- Captive-bred records
- Closed leg band when applicable
- Health guarantee
- Care guidance for new owners
A closed metal leg band helps show that the bird was captive-bred and properly documented.
Before purchase, buyers should ask about the health guarantee terms, shipping policy, feeding schedule, current diet, and transition instructions.

A Jenday Conure can live 25 to 30 years in captivity when cared for properly. Some may live longer with excellent diet, regular veterinary care, daily exercise, and a safe environment.
To support a long and healthy life, your parrot needs:

Buying a Jenday Conure should be treated as a long-term family commitment.
What Size Cage Does A Jenday Conure Need?
A Jenday Conure needs a spacious cage with room to climb, stretch, play, and move comfortably.
The minimum recommended cage size is:
24 inches wide by 24 inches deep by 24 inches high
Larger is always better if the bar spacing is safe. A more comfortable setup is often around 30 inches wide or larger, especially if the bird spends several hours in the cage during the day.
Recommended cage features include:
- Safe bar spacing, usually around 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch
- Strong metal construction
- Multiple perches of different textures
- Room for toys without overcrowding
- Easy-to-clean trays
- Secure doors and latches
- Food and water bowl access
Avoid cages with rust, sharp edges, unsafe paint, or bar spacing that is too wide.
What Should A Jenday Conure Eat?
A healthy Jenday Conure diet should be based mainly on high-quality pellets, with fresh vegetables and fruits added daily.
A good feeding plan includes:
- About 70 percent high-quality pellets
- Fresh vegetables every day
- Small amounts of fruit
- Seeds and nuts only as treats
- Clean water changed daily
Healthy vegetables may include:
- Carrots
- Bell peppers
- Broccoli
- Leafy greens
- Squash
- Sweet potato
- Peas
- Green beans
Safe fruits in moderation may include:
- Apple without seeds
- Blueberries
- Mango
- Papaya
- Banana
- Melon
- Grapes in small amounts
Do not feed your Jenday Conure avocado, chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, onion, garlic, salty foods, or sugary processed foods.
How Much Time Does A Jenday Conure Need Each Day?
A Jenday Conure needs daily attention. Most do best with at least 2 to 3 hours of supervised out-of-cage time each day.
Daily interaction may include:
- Step-up practice
- Gentle handling
- Shoulder time
- Training sessions
- Toy play
- Foraging games
- Talking and social time
- Supervised flight or exercise in a safe room
Without enough attention, a Jenday Conure may develop behavior problems such as screaming, biting, feather damage, or destructive chewing.
Do Jenday Conures Bite?
Any parrot can bite, including a Jenday Conure. Biting usually happens when a bird is scared, overstimulated, hormonal, tired, territorial, or not properly trained.
Common reasons for biting include:
- Fear
- Rough handling
- Lack of trust
- Protecting a favorite person or cage
- Hormonal behavior
- Not wanting to step up
- Being touched in a way the bird dislikes
- Not enough sleep
Hand-fed and well-socialized Jenday Conures are usually easier to handle, but training is still important. Owners should learn bird body language and use positive reinforcement.
Are Jenday Conures Good With Children?
Jenday Conures can be good family birds in homes with respectful children. However, all interactions should be supervised.
They are best for families with children who can understand:
- How to handle a bird gently
- Not to grab the bird
- Not to tease or scare the bird
- How to respect the bird’s space
- That bites can happen if the bird feels threatened
Because Jenday Conures can be loud and sometimes nippy, they are usually better for older children than very young children.
Jenday Conure Vs Sun Conure
Many buyers compare Jenday Conures and Sun Conures because they look similar and have similar personalities.
Both birds are:
- Brightly colored
- Loud
- Affectionate
- Playful
- Intelligent
- Social
- Long-lived
The main difference is color. Sun Conures usually have more yellow and orange across the body, while Jenday Conures often have green wings with a yellow head and orange chest.
In terms of care, noise level, cage size, diet, and attention needs, they are very similar.

Olivia Rose Parker (verified owner) –
First-time parrot owner here! I was nervous about noise levels, but our Jenday, Luna, is loud only when excited (which is adorable). AllWingsAviary sent a detailed “bonding & boundaries” guide that’s been a lifesaver. She’s affectionate, clever, and just said “I love you” while nuzzling my cheek. Only wish the website had more juvenile voice samples!
William Henry Parker (verified owner) –
Experienced parrot keeper here—this is my third conure, but first Jenday. Nero is noticeably more expressive than my Sun Conure ever was. AllWingsAviary provided full lineage info and health testing. Only suggestion: include more pellet brand equivalents in the care guide. Otherwise, flawless.
Harriet Louise Morgan (verified owner) –
As an animal behaviorist, I appreciate how well-socialized AllWingsAviary’s chicks are. Our Jenday, Juno, arrived with full enrichment history and temperament notes (“playful, curious, quick to bond”). She’s now mimicking doorbells and loves playing peek-a-boo with her toys. Ethical, science-backed, and full of heart.
Siobhan Mary O’Connell (verified owner) –
Our Jenday, Jazz, arrived at 8 weeks and has been talking nonstop since day one! “Jazz wants grape,” “Hello, sunshine!”—so clear and theatrical. AllWingsAviary’s attention to detail—from temperature-controlled shipping to post-arrival check-ins—shows they truly care. He’s bold, bright, and full of dramatic flair.
Freya Eleanor Mitchell (verified owner) –
We’ve had small parrots before, but never one this engaging. AllWingsAviary prepared us well. Our Jenday, Poe, arrived with a detailed care guide, local vet list, and even a “first words” tracker. He’s now mimicking rain sounds and loves his rope perches. Worth every penny for a bird raised with love and science.

George Alexander (verified owner) –
The parrot is healthy and deeply bonded already, but the travel crate was smaller than expected, and he seemed stressed on arrival. AllWingsAviary followed up immediately and sent calming spray and extra treats. He’s bounced back beautifully—now mimicking guitar strums and cuddling on my shoulder. Just wish packaging was more spacious.
Chloe Isabella Reynold (verified owner) –
We adopted our Jenday, Zara, to support our neurodivergent son—and it’s been transformative. She’s calm, observant, and responds gently to routine. AllWingsAviary asked thoughtful questions about our home before approving the adoption. Zara now “talks” during calm-down time and gives wing-hugs. Ethical, empathetic, exceptional.
Ryan Michael O’Sullivan (verified owner) –
Bird is stunning and already mimicking the AC turning on—but the microchip paperwork had a typo that caused a brief hold at customs. AllWingsAviary fixed it within a day and apologized sincerely. Our lad, Cosmo, is now settled, loves puzzle feeders, and sings in the shower with us. Minor hiccup, big heart.
Eleanor Grace Whitman (verified owner) –
We brought home our Jenday, Sunny, at 8 weeks old, and he’s already the most cheerful, affectionate little bundle. That bright red head and golden body? Absolutely stunning. He talks clearly (“Sunny wants nut!”), dances to music, and gives the sweetest head bobs. AllWingsAviary raised him with such care—he arrived healthy, confident, and already used to gentle handling. They even sent a video of him playing before we committed. Pure joy in a feathered package.
Daniel Edward (verified owner) –
The bird is gorgeous—vibrant red head, golden body, coral beak—and already vocal (“Hi Daniel!”). But shipping was delayed two days due to a courier issue, and updates were sparse for 36 hours. Once he arrived, though, all was well. Our boy, Atlas, is thriving, loves almonds, and gives sweet little head bobs. Just be prepared for possible logistics hiccups.
Marcus Isaiah Boone (verified owner) –
Our Jenday, Rio, is smart, sassy, and full of personality—just like the breed’s reputation! AllWingsAviary was professional from start to finish: full health records, CITES paperwork, and great communication. Took off one star only because the starter toy kit was missing a promised foraging ball—but they shipped it right away. Bird is thriving and already mimicking the doorbell.
Margaret Helen Wright (verified owner) –
At 70, I wanted a companion who’s lively but not overwhelming—and my Jenday, Winston, is perfect. AllWingsAviary didn’t hesitate to work with a senior adopter; they even helped me set up a safe, low-stress play area. He arrived calm, healthy, and already used to household sounds. He just recited the Pledge of Allegiance (my late husband’s favorite). Tears of joy.
Aisha Fatima Khan (verified owner) –
After years with quieter birds, I wanted a parrot with presence—and the Jenday is perfect. Our girl, Juno, arrived at 9 weeks, fully socialized, with bright eyes and a curious chirp. She’s now saying “Juno, pretty bird!” and loves singing along to folk music. AllWingsAviary’s attention to temperament and health is unmatched.
