Not all members of these genera are called "conures" with equal frequency—some are more often referred to as parakeets. These other genera are listed below:  Old Tupi for "bright macaw," ("ara" – "macaw", "tinga" "bright") the "Aratinga" conures generally seem to have a more mischievous personality than the real little macaws or mini-macaws. Popular as pets, the "Aratinga" conures are generally larger with brighter plumage and are generally the noisier, more outgoing, more demanding of the two primary conure genera. The colorful sun conure and jenday conure are among the species of conures more commonly kept as pets. Many of the "Aratinga" species can be quite loud but otherwise can make very good pets for responsible owners. Some species, such as the dusky conure, brown headed conure, peach front conure, and half moon conure, are among the quieter "Aratinga" species, though they may still be loud at times. Lifespan is 20–30 years. See cherry-headed conure, blue-crowned conure. "Pyrrhura" is the other prominent genus of conures. These conures (with generally more green colors) include the very common green-cheeked conure, as well as the maroon-bellied conure, pearly conure, black-capped conure, painted conure, crimson-bellied conure, and a number of other species. They are usually smaller, have more subdued colors, and are much quieter than the "Aratinga" conures. Pyrrhura species are growing in popularity as pet birds, primarily due to their quiet nature, their affectionate and intelligent personalities, and the increasing number of color mutations developed in several of these species. On average, Pyrrhura conures live around 20 or 25 years. To reach full maturity, many of them molt to rid themselves of feathers from previous growth stages, and, occasionally, young birds pluck their feathers during the winter. The nanday conure, "nandayus nenday" is the most commonly kept pet conure species outside the two main genera. Some experts believe that nandays should actually be grouped with the genus "Aratinga", since they are cross-fertile with such species as jendays and suns.
