Nesting Sites

As illustrated in the accompanying pictures, the preferred nesting site of the Gold Capped conure is a sweatshirt. Unrestricted harvesting of sweatshirts for the demands of the United States of America has left few of them in the wild. The average American owns three sweatshirts; the average Gold Capped conure cannot find even one.

American Universities and professional sports teams are largely responsible for this overharvesting of sweatshirts. We at the Gold Capped conure page strongly urge you to stop purchasing sweatshirts and boycott all institutions that sell them.
