The golden parakeet or golden conure (Guaruba guarouba), or the Queen of Bavaria conure [3] is a medium-sized golden-yellow Neotropical parrot native to the Amazon Basin of interior northern Brazil.

Conures are as diverse a group as African parrots, so trying to characterize them all is difficult and inaccurate. The category conure is loosely defined because they do not currently constitute a natural, scientific grouping. The term conure is now used mostly in aviculture. Scientists tend to refer to these birds as "parrots" or "parakeets".
