This is true in a adults; I believe as babies Sun Conures also have a considerable amount of green on them before it turns yellow.10. The Ruppells is easy for any Poi lover. They look just like the Red Belly to me except for coloration. They are sexually dimorphic as only the female gets the blue rump and belly. I'd love to have one of these! There is a guy in California who breeds them. Maybe someday...
They remind me more of the Meyer's than Red-bellieds, without the greenish-blueish belly of course. I think the dark grey colour of the Rueppell is more similar to the Meyer's than RB.
Yes, the juvenile Sun Conures have green on their wings and backs so telling them apart from Jendays may be difficult. I have never seen them together but I imagine there are still differences.
The Ruppell to me looks just like my Red Belly in size and shape. The coloration is more similar to a Meyers but for some reason they still remind me more of the Red Bellies.
