conure

Conures are a diverse, loosely defined group of small to medium-sized parrots. They belong to several genera within a long-tailed group of the New World parrot subfamily Arinae. The term "conure" is used primarily in bird keeping, though it has appeared in some scientific journals. The American Ornithologists' Union uses the generic term ''parakeet'' for all species elsewhere called ''conure'', though Joseph Forshaw, a prominent Australian ornithologist, uses ''conure''.

==Description==
Conures are either large parakeets or small parrots found in the Western Hemisphere. They are analogous in size and way of life to the Old World's rose-ringed parakeets or the Australian parakeets. All living conure species live in Central and South America. The extinct ''Conuropsis carolinensis'', or Carolina parakeet was an exception. Conures are often called the clowns of the parrot world due to their constant attention seeking behavior including hanging upside-down and swaying back and forth or "dancing."
Despite being large for parakeets, conures are lightly built with long tails and small (but strong) beaks. Conure beaks always have a small cere and are usually horn-colored (gray) or black. Most conure species live in flocks of 20 or more birds. Conures often eat grain, and so are treated as agricultural pests in some places.
Conures are as diverse a group as African parrots, so trying to characterize them all is difficult and inaccurate. The category ''conure'' is loosely defined because they do not currently constitute a natural, scientific grouping. The term ''conure'' is now used mostly in aviculture. Scientists tend to refer to these birds as "parrots" or "parakeets". (''See below under ''Scientific classification'' for more details.'')
