As such, alongside its common name as the golden-capped parakeet, it is also called the golden-capped conure. [1] Within the A. solstitialis species group, the golden-capped parakeet is the only member considered to be polytypic: A. auricapillus is said to contain the subspecies A. a. aurifrons.
The existence of this conure is threatened by habitat loss. However, golden-capped conures are prolific breeders, making them popular birds in aviculture, and hand-fed young are generally available. Golden-capped conures grow to about 13 to 14 inches (330 to 360 mm) in length and weigh about 150 grams (5.3 oz).
