Origin and History

The jenday conure is native to the woodlands, palm groves, and dense growth of northeastern Brazil. It has a preference for nesting high in tree hollows and generally travels in small flocks of 30 or so birds.

The word “jenday” comes from Old Tupi, the indigenous language from Brazil. It means “small parrot.” The bird is a protected species; its capture and trade are prohibited.

Temperament

Naturally playful and affectionate, jenday conures can make loyal companion birds. Some jendays may become attached to a single person, but a majority should do well with a family unit and accept everyone as members of their flock.

Jendays can be very cuddly, often enjoying a ride on their handler’s shoulder or inside their shirt.

Most people admire this bird’s beauty and charming personality. Jenday conures are social birds that thrive on interaction. They may not be the best choice for those who have less than a few hours a day to spend with it.

Jenday conures are as intelligent as other members of the parrot family and can learn simple tricks and mimic sounds.
