This colorful fun-loving and outgoing bird is a favorite with bird-lovers.

Hand-fed Jendays can make great pets when well-socialized and handled.  They are very intelligent and fair talkers.

Prospective owners should also plan to invest in a variety of toys and accessories for their birds. Jemdays can be strong chewers, so it's a good idea to provide them with some wooden perches and toys to exercise their beaks on.

Like most conures, Jendays can be noisy.  They are also very social birds, so don't get one unless yo are prepared to give them lots of attention.

Food:

Jendays need a varied diet including lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts.  A seed mix and a pelleted diet can be used as a daily staple. "Quicko" by Sun Seed is an excellent supplement for any pet bird.

Housing:

A cage should be as spacious as possible.  The minimum measurements would be 18 x 18 x 24".   The bars should be no more than 1/2" apart. A variety of perches with differing widths will help 'exercise' their feet.
