'''Conures''' are a diverse, loosely defined group of small to medium-sized [[parrot]]s. They belong to several [[genus|genera]] within a long-tailed group of the [[New World]] parrot subfamily [[Arinae]]. Most conures belong to the tribe [[Arini (tribe)|Arini]], though ''[[Myiopsitta]]'' is an exception. The term "conure" is used primarily in [[aviculture|bird keeping]], though it has appeared in some [[scientific journal]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal|doi=10.1016/j.anbehav.2008.08.007|title=Individual recognition and selective response to contact calls in foraging brown-throated conures, Aratinga pertinax|year=2008|last1=Buhrman-Deever|first1=Susannah C.|last2=Hobson|first2=Elizabeth A.|last3=Hobson|first3=Aaron D.|journal=Animal Behaviour|volume=76|issue=5|pages=1715–1725|s2cid=53165482 }}</ref> The [[American Ornithologists' Union]] uses the generic term ''[[parakeet]]'' for all species elsewhere called ''conure'', though [[Joseph Forshaw]], a prominent Australian ornithologist, uses ''conure''.<ref name="Forshaw78">{{Cite book|last1=Forshaw|first1= Joseph M. |last2= Cooper|first2=William T. |year=1978|title=Parrots of the World|edition=2nd|publisher= Landsdowne Editions|location= Melbourne Australia| isbn= 978-0-7018-0690-3}}</ref>
