Origin and History

You can find the Crimson Bellied Conure in the Amazon rainforest of South America, where it is still common in Bolivia and Brazil. However, due to extreme deforestation in its range, The International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies it as vulnerable. Scientists once thought it was similar to the Pearly Parakeet and put it into the Pyrrhura rhodogaster, but the information it was based on turned out to be false, so they renamed it the Pyrrhura perlata.

Temperament

The Crimson Bellied Conure is one of the most popular conures keep as pets because it is extremely lively and friendly. It’s one of the few cuddly birds that will often form strong bonds and cuddle with their owner. Its call is soft and pleasant, and it will often whistle melodies or mimic sounds it hears in the home. It’s quite affectionate and can even act silly when it’s getting the attention it craves, hiding in your clothes and in your hair. However, it will get much louder if you ignore it or spend too much time away from home, and they may even start to tear apart things in their cage.

Speech & Vocalizations

As we mentioned earlier, the Crimson Bellied Conure has soft and pleasing vocalizations unless it feels left out or ignored. In most cases, these birds are one of the quieter conures that you can purchase, making them a great choice for small apartments and children. It makes more frequent chirps when it is having fun and tends to mimic sounds it hears in the house, like alarm clocks, doorbells, television melodies, and even the dog barking. Your bird might even learn a few words to say to you.

Common Health Problems

Your Crimson Bellied Conure is an extremely healthy bird with a long lifespan of 20 years or more and no known health problems they are predisposed to acquiring. The most common problem you are likely to face is diarrhea brought on by eating too much fruit and should pass in a day or so, but it can also result from bacteria or parasites.  If your bird was eating something it doesn’t usually eat or is a new addition to your home, we recommend taking your pet to the vet to have it looked over so you can be sure you are providing the best treatment for your bird.
