conure

Hi! I need some foraging tips. I started target training, and some tricks like spin and wave and those are still a work in progress, but he is a really fast learner. He is still very young so I thought I'd teach him some tricks and recall training first, and then move on to foraging. But I...

Hello 👋🏻 I have a 5 year old Sun Conure. I have a 3 day vacation starting this Tuesday. The person who was meant to take care of my bird became very ill. I have run out of people to ask to take care of her. My next option is boarding. Does anyone have any input on the experience of boarding a bird?

Hello everyone! So my son went off to college and left me with 4 Conures. Over the past month (only through researching) I've noticed them having nesting behavior. They have a nesting box, which for a little over a week, all 4 have spent the majority of their time inside. 2 days ago I found an...

I went to the vet today with Eddie and the doctor said he was all good. She clipped his nails a tiny bit and he was so brave! He was very friendly and flew on top of her head :D. She answered some questions I had and reassured me that it's all good. I am collecting stool samples and they will do...

My conure loves bathing, but he needs water to come down like a faucet, and something with water below it like a lil’ bath. Im not sure if there are any ones like that, that are recommended so I thought id ask here. (Attached is Tiago after a bath🤭)

Hellooo. Today I woke up and let Eddie out of his cage, and he seems a bit overstimulated?? IDK if thats the reason but we won't stop flicking his wings (I managed to capture some of it, but he does it pretty frequently. Every slight movement I make is accompanied by wing flicking. He doesn't...

Hello once again! So as I said in my previous post we got a new baby bird (he is approximately 2 months old), and as it was with our beloved Cosmo, so it is with Edgar - quite a challenge. I dont remember if Cosmo was this bitey but Edgar sure is. As I learned all birds bite a little as...

Hello, it's been some time since I posted here! We finally got a new baby birb. His name is Eddie (Edgar) and he is so cute. While me and my family are a lot safer now around the new bird and they've encouraged me not to blame myself for Cosmo passing away, I AM STILL SO SCARED. Maybe I am...

Yooo its been awhile since ive posted here haha. Not sure if i should be posting this in general or specifically in the conure section, but im assuming this behavior goes for all parrots. Is there any specific reason why he does this? He seems happy and gets comfy afterwards so i dont think its...

Hello I have a conure who for context i’ve hand raised and have had him for about 6 months now . He has been eating the fruit zupreem pellets for the longest time and all of a sudden a few days ago he stopped eating . This is very scary to me . He is still eating his daily fruits and vegetables...

My 3 y/o pearly conure has a very strange relationship with toys, when I first got him he would shred everything in site toy or not. Then after about 5 months of having him (almost exactly when he turned 1 year old), he completely lost interest in toys, at the recommendation of people on this...

So I just bought what I was told to be a 4 week old sun conure. The breeders had fully weaned ones but they were insane and didn’t even like the breeder let alone me. They also offered the newborn which was irresponsible on their part and my dumbass took it cause I wanted to raise it. I’ve...

Tiagos been making these little grunting noises a LOT lately and im curious of what they mean. Ive tried looking it up but havent been able to find relating to these noises. I attached a video of the noises :)

I was recently relaxing with my conure and she bit my glasses and scratched my face. I don't think she meant anything from it but it spooked me and I got her off quickly. Ever since then she will no longer go onto my hand. She is eating the same and no bad behavior. She will take treats from my...

I know there's a bunch of threads here about this but I still would like some tips for my personal situation. I just got a 3 month old green cheek conure, it's only her second night home so I don't expect this to stop immediately. She's already very attached to me, she spends most of the day...

My baby Tiago is a 7 month pineapple conure! Im not home all of the time and ive been wondering if i should get him a friend. I dont know much of anything about bonding parrots and came to ask about it and what the best kind of age/gender/species would be best for him to bond with.

Hello guys I’ve asked before about my parrot on how aggressive he is and its not changing i might judging too fast cause its been like 4 months since i bought him and i wanna mention that i bought him from an owner not as a baby parrot he was 8-9 months at that time but anyways.. any tips? cause...

whenever tiago wants to have a preening session, he always goes for either my ear or my lip. He knows how to be gentle and doesnt nibble too hard. I know about human saliva supposedly being toxic to birds, but ive heard mixed things. Ive been trying to redirect him from my lips though just in...

in the past few days tiago has become a TON more cuddly and affectionate with me! he’s been very interested with nibbling my face and seems to do it to get my attention :,) Its super cute and i love it so much but it came out of nowhere so im wondering if this is normal parrot behavior. Im...

Ive been working with tiago (6 month old pineapple conure) to come to me on command, especially because he cant fly yet. I want to get him to get it down and understand it so that he comes to me when i need him to when his wing feathers eventually grow back. Hes doing pretty good, but only comes...
