Hello Shelbie, Frank Indiviglio here.

Thanks for taking the time to write in; much appreciated.

Please let me know if you need any further information…I’ve worked with just about every animal at the Bronx Zoo and have taught their keeper education classes as well.

Good luck, enjoy and please keep me posted.

Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.

Hello, Frank Indiviglio here.

Thanks for your interest in our blog and the kind words. I do feel that most of what is mentioned in the article does apply to conures – I’ve kept large groups of Patagonians and a few other species in zoo exhibits and they did seem to be very well-synchronized in their breeding. Closely-related species might affect each other in the same way – several are known to hybridize.

Off topic, but perhaps you might enjoy this unique note on Conures and False Vampire Bat Predation.
Good luck and please keep me posted.

Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.
