conure behavior

So I have two conures, I’ve had them for 3 years now and they love each other but have never shown any mating behaviors before until recently. I thought they were both males since nothing had happened over 3 years, but for over a week now, they’ve started mating EVERY SINGLE DAY!! sometimes...

It’s been a while since I’ve made a last post- I’ve got two jenday conures, that only stay in their cage to sleep or when I’m cleaning or when I’m not in the same room as them. ( I don’t want them to get startled or do something harmful for them). But when I put them in the cage to sleep, they...

Hello! I’m pretty new. I apologize that my first thread is a general but my conure’s new behaviour is concerning me. My Sun Conure, Kyle, has developed a new trait of licking the top of his beak and jerking his head erratically. This is his first time doing this and he has been with me for six...

I’ve got two Jenday conures, both adults! Lately , the female has been sitting on my chest and shoulder while I’m laying down and just gliding her face against me while being super fluffed up. She’s still scared of hands and doesn’t like being pet, so I’m not sure what it is. Additionally , when...

Hi! We got our conure about two months ago and it has just started doing this. He is about a year old (what the pet place told us.) I haven’t found a clear reason why conure’s specifically do this and would love an explanation. We don’t know the gender, but his/her name is Peep!

Hello. I am new to posting on this site, but i need some serious help. I have had my Conure for almost 7 years now. Got her when she was just 6 months old, and I have made sure she lived her best life with me. When I got her i knew what i was getting into. So with me I'd make sure she is out of...

Hey! I only plan to use this account for this one question, I'm seriously having a hard time right now :/ So in 2021, I got a new bird! His name is Ocarina. I've wanted another bird for a bit because my current bird, Majora, was alone throughout the day. Might not be necessary info, but my...

I’ve got two jenday conures, and I’ve caught them multiple times locking beaks and moving up and down. I’m pretty sure it’s “feeding” but I’m unsure on what it means. What should I prepare for !?

so I recently got a cinnamon green cheek and he is the sweetest thing ever and happens to be really vocal. however, I have noticed that lately when he is sleeping on my shoulder he sometimes makes a small wheezing sound. I'm not sure if this is normal or if he's talking to himself in his sleep...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and and first time pet owner. 12 days ago I decided to get a GCC, I've been meaning to get a bird for about a year now but after barely surviving a very bad case of covid, I decided to do so as soon as I am healed and capable. I've been stalking birds ads for a...

So I have a GCC who is coming up on 10 months old. When he is on my shoulder randomly , and I can tell when it’s gonna happen everytime, he starts to talk and go a little crazy shifting side to side and after he does that specifically in order he will lightly nip my neck/ear. If I were to let...

So I've had my green cheek conure since end of January of this year. He was born in November and is 9 months old. My first conure , he's a good boy, loves to cuddle and is a little clumsy which i love him for. He knows quite a few tricks , still has his moments where he nips but not hard...

All birds are different of course. but my sun Conure is absurdly clingy! he starts doing the thing where they twitch their wings as I leave the door and screams for hours while I'm gone. it annoys the hell out of my family. I adopted him from a local parrot aviary. they breed parrots and are an...

Hello all, I am new to the site. I have 3 conures and 2 parakeets. Two regular Green Cheek conures, Nibbler and Popito. One Pineapple conure named Pineapple Princess (PP). We live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Mekana and Butterscotch are the parakeets. I also rehab wild birds. Our...

So, I rescued Phoenix about a month ago now, we got closer and she took food from my hands, scurried away and hid to eat it. But i was okay with that as she was still getting used to me, but now she doesnt allow me to go anywhere near but always looks at me like she wants to snuggle up to me and...

So I got a pinapple conure about 3 weeks ago and recently I’ve been noticing that he’s losing a lot of feathers and the colourful ones at that. In the first 2 weeks of having him he’d lose maybe 1-2 feathers a day but lately he’s been losing 5-7. I’ve attached some pictures and you can kind of...

My birds love taking showers with me and just relax, whenever the water hits them, It's like they fall asleep. So tonight I was drying them off and giggling because my bird Mickey, who is usually the bitest of the two let me massage him while I hand dried him. As I was massaging him, his neck...

Hi everyone, something a little different happened yesterday morning:D. As usual I got up and was excited to start the new day and let Kiwi out of his cage, he wanted to get out and start the day too and greeted me in his usual happy, excited way, flying onto me, then I kind of put my finger...
