    golden conures are not anymore difficult to get to breed in captivity than suns

    if yours do nest and rear chicks do not pull for handfeeding as human fed chicks don't have the same instinct to sit on eggs and regurgitate food to their chicks as parent fed birds

    since goldens are so hard to find in captivity you should let the parents raise them and then sell them only to other breeders to keep them 'alive' in captivity, they should not be sold to pet only homes until they are as common as suns, jendays and all the rest

    good luck
