Description: The colorful Jandaya Parakeet for sale, or Jenday Conure (Aratinga jandaya) is a small Neotropical parrot with green wings and tail, reddish-orange body, yellow head and neck, orange cheeks and black bill native to wooded habitats in northeastern Brazil. It is a member of the Aratinga solstitialis complex of parakeets very closely related to, and possibly subspecies of sun parakeet. The bird has a wide range but is locally rare in the wild; they are common in aviculture where they are known as "Jenday Conures". Based on size, morphology and plumage, this species is believed to be a close living relative of the extinct Carolina parakeet, possibly the closest, though that has not been confirmed by molecular phylogenetics which found the nanday parakeet to be the Carolina parakeet's closest living relative among the species tested. The Jenday Conure is a small long-tailed parakeet with reddish orange body, green wings, vent and tail, yellow head, neck, and shoulders, orange cheeks, black bill, whitish periophthalmic ring and dark eyes. Jenday Conures live in pairs or small groups of 10 to 15 birds.

If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, that particular species is 'monomorphic', which means we’re unable to determine gender without purchasing DNA testing. DNA testing is an additional $149 per bird to guarantee preferred gender. DNA testing may add an additional 3-6 plus weeks to estimated delivery time to allow for gender results.

Buying a bird companion without actually seeing the bird was difficult to do. Very apprehensive about the whole idea of buying the bird without seeing it. I emailed and talked to Shirley who was wth customer service, I believe. She did not try to sell the bird. It wasn’t a hard sell conversation. She explained to me the process and how I would receive the bird. Everything went as she had explained. I have had my bird for two weeks now. Very glad I got over my fears for the bird. He is fine and starting to adjust. The box he/she came in was great. I thought it would have been cardboard. But was pressed wood and quite sturdy with signs all over it with “live animal” on it. I was able to to track the flight. Picking him up at the cargo area was easy, and the guys knew right where he was. So all in all, if you can get over the idea of buying sight unseen, I think you will be as happy as I am with my purchase.
