As the name implies, golden conures are covered all over with bright yellow feathers, which are in striking contrast to the dark green primary flights. They average 14 inches (36 cm) in length. Because of their massive head and beak, many people feel the goldens more closely resemble macaws than conures. Immature birds have scattered green feathers on the upper wing-coverts and cheeks and are rather slimmer in build. |
