The Jenday conure makes a devoted pet. The bird craves attention and interaction with its owner. It breeds readily in captivity. Breeding can occur throughout the year. They make loving parents who dote on their young. Both male and female Jenday conures look almost identical in physical appearance. Surgical or DNA sexing will establish beyond a shadow of a doubt the bird's sex, but an owner can make physical observations of the bird to identify the male and female.
Instructions
1. Look closely at the Jenday conures eyes. The female has a light brown eye color. The featherless eye ring appears a grayish white. The male Jenday conure has a dark iris and his eye ring appears pure white in color.
2. Cup the conure in your hands, and gently feel the bird's pelvic bones. A male's pelvic bones will feel closer together than a female's.
3. Observe and weigh the two birds. Males weigh slightly less than females. The male conure weighs 4.4 oz., and the female usually weight 5.0 oz.
