Can't identify if my conure is a sun conure or jendAy

[Masha]

I think it's Jenday but it says Sun Conure on the documents
What are the differences between them anyway?

 

[MonicaMc]

Definitely jenday! Jendays have more reddish stomachs and *generally* yellower faces. (not always!). The solid green wings is also a dead give-a-way!

Suns on the other hand are more orangie in coloration on their stomachs, have more orange faces and adults have yellow wings/backs. As chicks, their wings are typically green, but molts out to yellow.


Here's a diagram that shows the difference

Agreed, definitely a Jenday without a doubt. Obviously a lot of people can't tell the difference, even the people who breed them and sell them...

The differences can be subtle. My Sun molts out to look like a juvenile Jenday at half his bluffings! I've sometimes wondered if he wasn't a Sun-Jenday mix. HAHA

Actually, I've been seeing more and more "Sunday" Conures being purposely bred and sold by breeders.
