A genus of small parrots native to South America, characterized by green plumage and a distinctive appearance.
From Greek 'konos' (cone) plus 'opsis' (appearance, sight), referring to the cone-like head shape of these parrots. Scientific naming convention from Linnaeus.
The golden conure (Conuropsis aurea) was thought to be extinct until a tiny population was rediscovered in the Amazon—a bird that had completely vanished from scientific knowledge for decades!
