Yes, indeed they are! They are in the same family as larger parrots such as Amazons and Macaws and definitely have a big parrot personality in a little parrot body. Some identifying features of birds in the parrot family are four toes on each foot, with two facing forward and two back and the classic hookbill.

Will a handreared cockatiel get on with a handreared green cheeked conure?
Propably not. Hand-reared bird rarely get along vety well with any bird, even if it's his own specie. Even if cockatiel and conure weren't hand-reared, their size-different is too big: conure can easilly kill small-beaked cockatiel.
Can a lovebird and a conure breed?
Yes they can, but it is not recommended. There are many color mutations in the different Lovebird species, I can see no reason to crossbreed species, when you do you pollute the blood of the different species. These birds get sold and end up with others who unwittingly breed them, the next thing you know it could get hard to get pure birds of a given species. Please don't be part of this problem stay in the species and breed for different colors.
How old do you have to be to get a bird?
It's according to what type of bird and where you are located. Some birds are not allowed to be purchased unless you have a certain license. I would say that anyone who would want to purchase a bird that is in the United States would have to be about the age of fourteen for a smaller bird like a cockatiel, budgie, finch, love bird, etc. Eighteen is about the age when you should be able to purchase a bird about the size of a conure or larger.
Can you take your conure on trips in your car?
I have a sun conure and he doesn't mind going in the car with me. Sometimes it gets a bit hot in the car, but other than that, it's not too much of a problem unless you get distracted by the bird, then it's dangerous to drive.
Can conures drink milk?
Yes conures can drink milk. Conures crave crackers, like cheese its or other types of crackers. All crackers contain milk. Cheese its are made of cheese. Cheese contains milk. My conure, Reathirs, loves cheese. Only feed a dieting conure food & water. Some conures have a certain diet to go on. Maybe your conure has a diet where it can only drink water & eat certain bird food or pellets. Mabye your conure is allergic to milk. If your conure DOES NOT have any allergic reactions or any diet you may feed it fresh cold milk. A water bottle cap full of milk is the maximum milk a conure should have a day. My conure also likes moist peanut butter. Only feed a conure a little morsel of peanut butter for your conures health.

What is the for bird with love about?
People think its the bird of love.
What do sun conures prefer a happy hut or a bird tent?
Mine personally love a happy hut over a bird tent if they are the type I'm thinking you are writing about. I think they prefer a happy hut because they actually lean forward and somewhat lay down as a double stacker (there's two), rather than stand up on a stick. The same goes for my cinnamon green-cheeck conure, except my parakeets want nothing to do with a lot of things such as toys, housing, bird baths, etc. It varies from bird to bird, but my sun conures love their happy hut.
