Hi, I’m Calypso

Introducing Calypso, a stunning sun conure (Aratinga solstitialis).

Native to South America, sun conures are incredibly social and intelligent parrots with a personality as loud as their plumage, known for their powerful vocalisations and cheeky, playful antics. Potentially living for up to 30 years, you could have a little feathered clown in your midst, providing belly laughs for quite some time!

While Calypso can be a little shy at first, our avian care team have been working with Calypso to develop confidence levels with amazing responsiveness and there's no doubt that with the right environment and care - Calypso will provide years of affection and companionship. :)

Current diet: 50/50 vegetable chop + Vetafarm South American Mix (pellets).

Ideal household: stable and calm, with a safe space to retreat to if overwhelmed. Willingness to allow Calypso to set it's own pace. 𖹭

If you think you can provide the perfect home for Calypso, please fill out an adoption application today: https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/expression-of-interest-to-adopt (and please don't forget to include a photograph of your bird enclosure!
