*Conures are playful and expressive birds with big personalities. In the Conure Education Hub, you’ll find guidance on daily care, cage setup, vocalization habits, and enrichment - all curated to help you understand and bond with your conure.
Chewy editorial team offers thoughtful insight into conures' talking ability, emphasizing that while vocal mimicry is a fun bonus, it is far from the main reason people love these vibrant birds.
Conures, while not the most skilled talkers in the parrot world, are capable of learning a few words or phrases, with some individuals building decent vocabularies.
Conures have a unique speaking style that is clearly birdlike - unlike parrots such as African greys, which often mimic human voices with uncanny accuracy.
Their speech may not always be recognizable to unfamiliar ears, but their personality filled chatter and sound effect mimicry - like laughter, sneezes, or conversational babbling - add to their charm.
Engaging with your bird through everyday conversation is the best way to encourage speech development, though conures often pick up phrases you did not even realize you were teaching.
Regardless of their verbal abilities, conures are loved for their playful, affectionate, and energetic nature - traits that shine whether or not they ever say a word.
