How many flight feathers does a Sun Conure have?

Hello,

I am doing a partial wing clip on my Sun Conure. Can anyone tell me how many flight feathers they have?

Thanks,

Jane

10 like all birds, also called primary feathers.

They have ten like all other parrots and I believe birds.

There's a good diagram in this website and it discuss wing clipping a bit if that's why you're asking.

The secondary feathers also help in flight.....the amount can vary among species.

Trim the three or four outside feathers (depending on how good a flier your bird is) about half way up.
