The Jandaya Parakeet can live up to 30 years in captivity.

The Jandaya Parakeet or Jenday Conure (Aratinga jandaya) is medium-small parrot native to wooded habitats in northeastern Brazil.

The Sun Parakeet is monotypic, but the Aratinga solstitialis complex includes three additional species from Brazil: Jandaya Parakeet, Golden-capped Parakeet, and Sulphur-breasted Parakeet.

In the wild, hybrids between the Jandaya Parakeet and Golden-capped Parakeet have been reported in their limited area of contact, but it has been speculated that most such individuals could be sub-adults (which easily could be confused with hybrids).

It is easily confused with the closely related Jandaya Parakeet and Sulphur-breasted Parakeet, but the former has entirely green wing-coverts, mantle and vent, while the latter has green mottling to the mantle and less orange to the underparts.

The colorful Sun Conure and Jenday Conure are among the species of conures more commonly kept as pets.
