Which Conure Should I get?

I'm not sure which type to get, but putting it simply, I want whatever is the most cuddly and affectionate. Right now I'm thinking between a Sun and A Green Cheek, but like I said before, whichever is the most cuddly and affectionate is what I want, and if it is a different kind I have no mentioned, that is fine as well. Any advice?

I have a sun and have had a green cheek. Suns are far more cuddly in my own experience.
Suns have a rep for being noisy, I don't find Lily noisy at all though...
Just expect the worse with regards to noise and I bet you'll be shocked at how much less it actually is.

Well I am biased, but I have a sun and he is a big snuggle bug. He is awsome. He loves to snuggle under my hoodies and my blankets.

I have a sun too and he is extremely cuddly. He always tries to climb down my shirt or in my sleeves, and he's always rubbing his face against me. He also loves to be scratched on his head/neck, and sometimes under his chin.

I am extremely biased and Im gonna go off the beaten path here and say : BLUE CROWN.. cause they ROCK! They are smart, silly, cuddy and very good talkers and I get to bring my new baby home in two days! I am very excited. She is not even three months old and can say "Hello", "Step Up" , "Come On", "What are you doing?" and "Erin" who is the girl who is hand feeding her at the moment. Get a Blue Crown... you wont be dissapointed.

Nanday Conure

My choice would be a Nanday Conure. I adopted an eight year old Nanday Conure two months ago. After about two weeks of us learning to trust one another, he is the most cuddley little animal I have ever owned. I will put him on my shoulder and he will crawl down below my neck and put his little head against me for me to cuddle him. He will lift his wings so I can pet him under them. He constantly gives me kisses, making the kissing sound. So, you can't go wrong with a Nanday Conure. Good Luck!

I am considering adopting/rescuing a Jenday Conure. Are these similar to suns in personality and noise level?
