The jandaya parakeet (Aratinga jandaya) or jenday conure, is a small Neotropical parrot with green wings and tail, reddish-orange body, yellow head and neck, orange cheeks, and black bill, native to wooded habitats in northeastern Brazil. It is a member of the Aratinga solstitialis complex of parakeets very closely related to, and possibly subspecies of the sun parakeet.
The bird has a wide range, but is locally rare in the wild; they are common in aviculture, where they are known as "jenday conures".
