Titus: Maroon Bellied Conure. Hatch date: 8th June 2012
Hi

I recently welcomed home my first Conure, Titus. He's a Maroon Bellied (guessing 'he', still needs DNA testing) and was hand reared. He's 2 1/2 months old and has been living with me for about 2 weeks.

He's very sweet but going through a bit of a bitey stage. Doing my best to ignore him when he bites and offer him something else to do. He's also taken to trying to preen the moles on my neck - ouch :p

Life begins when becoming a guardian (IMO)


Titus is so cute

What I always mentioned to new guardians ....... [FONT=&quot]Titus must have time to settle down and adjust. Just imagine how many new things the bird has encountered, in the last two weeks. So many new faces and voices, it must be so scary.
To gain your trust could take days, weeks, months even years. Each and every bird is so different. He obviously feels a comfort zone is his cage.
Sit near the cage, talking and singing to the bird. Let him become familiar with your voice. Leaving the cage door open, offer him treats through the bars at first. When he willingly accepts them, try placing a treat near the open door. Eventually he will starts taking the treats from the door, make no attempt to touch him. When he does come out, he will probably climb around on the cage. Let him explore in his own time. To get him back in, place a treat inside the cage, making sure it's visible.
