Take three (3) deep slow breaths in and back-out!

Relax, your Conure is going to survive this moment! But you may see some odd color pooo tonight and tomorrow.

Today's wrapping paper is printed with human grade colors since the stuff commonly ends up in the mouths of young children.

Enjoy!

Ok thank you very much! I get very anxious over my bird all the time, such as there's some cooking smoke only in the kitchen I freak out, he won't listen to step up I freak out and get stressed out. Thank you a lot! I will make sure though to keep his Christmas gift away from him since he eats everything! He also eats drywall if he gets the chance :D I don't intentionally let him eat drywall it's sometimes he finds little bits on the ground and eats them :D

Hmmm, Drywall 'can be' a problem. You will really want to make an effort in keeping him away from eating it! Older types of Drywall are not safe for Children or Parrots to eat.

Regarding 'Freaking-Out!' Parrots lock into our emotions and the both of you could end-up tail-spinning together. So, keep a check on over-reacting.

Rio (Yellow sided conure) sadly no longer with us
take a breathe, whilst delicate they're not made of porcelain

in regards to eating the drywall and such try offering a bit of wood to chew on when out of the cage so the chewing habits are curbed towards something appropriate
