UPDATE Jan. 5, 2:57 a.m. EST:
Pets Happy Zone checked up on Sushi and this beauty is still waiting for a home! "People think all conures are too noisy and they pass them up," Fran from A-Parrot To A-Flamingo Rescue told HNGN in an email. "This one is not that bad."
If you love sun parakeets, but hate the racket they can make, Sushi could be your perfect match!

Sushi is a sun conure (also known as a sun parakeet) available for adoption in Brecksville, Ohio. Four-year-old Sushi's sex is unknown, but he/she comes with a white iron cage, a stand and toys. "On a seed diet, will sample pellets, table food also," A-Parrot To A-Flamingo Rescue said, according to PetFinder. "Not noisy. Very beautiful bird. Needs a little handling. Prefers ladies. Wants attention."
A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Inc. is a nonprofit no-kill that requires email interviews and proof of previous parrot ownership, or experience with a similar species. If you are interested in adopting Sushi or another bird, the first step is to email aparrottoaflamingo@danworld.com.
This video is not of Sushi, but another playful sun conure being taught how to speak by his owner:
Sushi is such a beautiful bird with primary yellows and secondary oranges; it makes us want to dance in the sunlight and sing:
"Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away!"
