Sun conures produce at least two clutches per year of three to five eggs per clutch, which hatch after a 25-27 day incubation period. The chicks fledge at around 8 weeks old, and are fully weaned when they are between 8-11 weeks old. The youngsters leave the nest covered in the dull green juvenile plumage, which is gradually replaced by the colorful adult plumage when they are between 6 months to a year old. While it is possible for a breeding pair to produce multiple clutches throughout the breeding season, it is recommended that the breeder allows the pair to have a maximum of three clutches per year, to maintain optimum health in the breeding pair, with further clutches being discouraged by removing the nest box if necessary. However, as most sun conures like to sleep in a nest box year round, if the nest box is removed it should be replaced with a bird tent to provide a cozy sleep area for the pair to snuggle up in.
