The Patagonian conure, also known as the [[burrowing parrot]], ''Cyanoliseus patagonus'', is the largest conure. It is found in the [[Patagonia]] region of south-central Argentina and Chile.  Drab on the top, brightly colored underneath, the Patagonian conure has increased in popularity since the 1990s, leading to an increase in illegal importation that threatens wild populations, but they are fairly commonly bred in captivity. Patagonian conures have a reputation for being exceptionally sweet-natured and intelligent, but can be very loud and destructive with their chewing. The greater Patagonian conure (''C. p. bloxami'' or ''C. p. byroni'') is the largest of all the conures. They can learn to talk and they usually bond very well with people, especially if hand-raised, and although not the most colorful bird, they make great pets.
