Domestic hand-fed babies make excellent pets. Golden Conures are very affectionate parrots, and really enjoy spending time with their caretakers. They are playful and outgoing, and most are very intelligent. They are not known for being good talkers, though most will learn a word or two. They have a funny robotic sort of voice, which can be difficult to understand. Golden Conures are known for being very even-tempered, and they are less likely to bite than other parrots. Because of their easy-going and highly affectionate personalities, these Conures are one of the most highly sought-after parrots in the pet trade.
