Observations on the Golden Parakeet Aratinga guarouba in Northern Brazil.

The Sun Parakeet is also superficially similar to the pale-billed Golden Parakeet.

Additionally, the Golden Parakeet has been included in Aratinga, but is now generally placed in the monotypic Guarouba.

The Golden Parakeet is listed on the IUCN Red List as endangered.

The Golden Parakeet has a breeding system that is almost unique amongst parrots, as pairs are aided by a number of helpers which aid in the raising of the young.

The Golden Parakeet or Golden Conure, Guaruba guarouba, formerly classified as Aratinga guarouba, is a species of Neotropical parrot.

Cooperative breeding, where birds other than the breeding pair help the pair raise the young and is common in some bird families, is extremely rare in parrots, and has only unambiguously been demonstrated in the Golden Parakeet (which may also exhibit polyamorous, or group breeding, behaviour with multiple females contributing to the clutch).

The Golden Parakeet or Golden Conure, Guaruba guarouba, formerly classified as Aratinga guarouba, is a species of Neotropical parrot.

The fruits are important in the diet of certain wildlife, such as the Golden Conure (Guaruba guarouba), while Byrsonima leaves are food for some of the curious American moth-butterflies (Hedylidae).

The Golden Conure or Queen of Bavaria Conure, Guarouba guarouba (recently reclassified from Aratinga guarouba) is, as the name implies, covered all over with bright yellow feathers, except for the green wing-tip feathers and the greyish-horn-colored beak.
