 | | Golden-capped conures (or Aratinga solstitialis auricapilla, also called gold capped, gold cap, or golden cap conures) are members of Genus Aratinga, a taxonomic group that also includes the sun conure, the golden-fronted conure, and the jenday conure. |
 | | Some orange shows around the eyes, above the beak, and on the breast near the wings, and some navy is mixed in with the green of the tail, but the bird's full beauty is not apparent until after the first molt. |
 | | As the new feathers come in, the golden cap appears, along with a sprinkling of gold extending down to the shoulders. |
