Re: year member that never introduced

How exciting! I was a able to view the photo of your new baby just fine. PRECIOUS!!!

Well turns out that my baby weaned faster than we thought and ill be bringing my baby home tomorrow afternoon sometime. We still need to get food and new toys. If anyone has any suggestions for toys it would be very helpful.

beautiful pictures of your sun, keep an eye on how the orange colouring around his head develops in these early days it's a good method of trying to sex sun conures, not without it's problems though as colouring can vary bird to bird, here's a link to an article about sexing sun conures, as i said this is not always a viable way to tell so a DNA test would still be advised if the sex is important to you, it doesn't sound like it is though, i wish you both much luck =)

It may sound a bit wasteful, but I would recommend getting at least 5 toys (of various types, including at least 1 or 2 foraging toys), and a couple foot toys. You'll need to experiment to find what kind of toys he prefers, but more is better. At least one toy with hard wood for beak conditioning.

No such thing as being wasteful when it comes to toys. They go through them and they like to have them rotated.

My Quaker loves plastic stuff. The cheap plastic, neon colored rings in shapes that you can get at the dollar store that are made so that little girls can "make a bracelet" by slipping them together is his favorite foot toy, and his favorite toy overall is a cheapo disco ball made for budgies that you can get at petsmart. He also likes plastic mirrors and mainly ignores the nice (aka expensive) wooden toys I bought him unless I've turned it into a foraging toy. Definitely get a variety! I bought a bunch of wood toys at the start and probably won't need any more for a long while since I got so many and he doesn't love them, but the toys he likes the best come from the dollar store. (I guess he just likes the feel of slippery plastic--he's not big on "destroying" things unless it has food inside, and once he gets the food he is done.) He also loooves himself a mirror and likes chewing on textured things (sandy perches, bark perches.) I would get something like this to start off with:

1 cardboard foraging toy (could make yourself out of a toilet paper tube)
1 puzzle toy
1 shiny toy
1 plastic toy
1 mirrored toy
1 rubbery toy (one made for birds so they won't be able to chew it to bits in five seconds then swallow pieces--Sammy's favorite rubber toy is meant for larger birds. It's a giant rubber "skeleton" of a ball with a bell inside. It's as big as him but I hung it on his playtop and he loves knocking it around)
1 bark perch
1 sandy texture pech
Some bendy straws
Some of that woven "ribbon" made for birds to chew up

Then you can see what he likes the best and get more of that!
