I need to hear from the experts - YOU ALL! I maybe be adding a little friend and I need the real deal on the difference between a Sun vs a Jenday. Please share your experience. I know they are both loud but is it constant or just at certain times?

Those birds are very closely related and as far as I know there is nothing specific that sets them apart besides coloration.

I own both, there is almost no difference behavioral wise between my two. As long as the birds are happy and get to be out of the cage there is no reason for them to scream constantly. Mine on scream at certain times, the most vocal when I get home from being gone. As for pitch, they are about the same with my Sun having a very slightly higher pitch to her scream. I would just get whichever one you prefer the coloring of because like I said, any other differences are very minor.

My 3 suns do not scream consistently. They scream when I come home, leave the room(or walk 10 feet away) and once every few hours when I am not home(looking for me). When I have guests over they get excited and alert. They may let out a scream here and there but they are just excited and trying to figure out what is going on. I will be completely ignored if I am on the couch and go inspect their new human friend by climbing all over them and preen their hair.
