"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.

"intelligent, high-energy birds that require a lot of attention and a cage with ample room and toys. They can also be quite loud at times. Consequently, they are more appropriate companions for serious bird enthusiasts rather than the casual birdkeeper. The most famous fictional blue-crowned conure is the title character in the 1998 movie ""Paulie"", voiced by Jay Mohr. The movie used 14 birds to play the role of the talking parrot and caused a surge in the popularity of blue-crowned conures as pets. A blue-crowned conure also played a prominent role in the documentary ""The Wild Parrots of Telegraph"

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.
