conure

So my conure has had this issue where his nose is sometimes leaking water. He loves to dunk his pellets into his water and sometimes even dunk his head to get the pellets. He’s done this since he was a baby, sometimes his nose leaks for a day and other days he’s perfectly fine. He’s 9 months now...

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...

Hello everyone, I got a 2 month old Baby Jandaya conure yesterday. I have been told to feed her 5ml every 8 hrs. Which I have been doing since I got her, but for some reason she's always hungry. I am afraid that I'm not feeding her enough, she's always bobbing her head and trying to suck on my...

Hello all. I'm looking to rehome an 8 year old sun conure in Arizona, preferably in Maricopa county but anywhere works. Loki is an incredibly sweet bird once he trusts you. No behavioural problems. I hate to have to rehome him, but I'm moving into a dorm (uni student) and no one in my house...

Hello! I have a green cheek conure that is about 9 years old and has been perfectly healthy for a long time. Earlier today I took him out of his cage and noticed a small bald spot under his beak with dried blood. I can't tell if the area is swollen or inflamed but I have noticed that he keeps...

this sounds really dumb, but a bag of sourpatch kids was left out and little sebastian naturally found his way into it while i wasnt paying attention. I know parrots can have a little bit of sugar and be fine but its the malic acid im worried about. I haven't found anything about parrots eating...

Hello, all! I'm going to talk to my vet about this, of course, but was also hoping to hear a collection of personal experiences to draw from. I am going to visit my partner for over a week in a few months (hopefully!!), and I have a young, high needs green cheek. It is not an option to leave...

someone said this is a one year old red factor and im not sure if its just a sun conure or actually a red factor. is it a red factor? https://stockton.craigslist.org/for/d/stockton-red-factor-sun-conure/7336497475.html

this is gonna be a long post but I've been needing some help on this issue. Beforehand I would like to say that if this isn't informative enough, I wrote my specific observations with environment and my bird on paper for my vet to see. if anyone is interested in reading that, I will scan it and...

My two year old Green Cheek Conure somehow got the piece from the middle of her bell toy wedged onto the bottom part of her beak. It has a slit on the side where it slides onto the metal ring, and that slit is jammed onto the side of her beak (Like a piercing..) I tried to wiggle it off a little...

Hey! So I’m planning on getting my first green cheek conure (first ever bird) in around July time but want to have all of my research done well in advance. I have a few questions if anyone can help with them! 1. My bird will be kept solely in my room (in a cage when im not there or when im...

Hello. I'm new to this forum but I have come because I am wondering if anyone has had experience with a bird experiencing lameness like symptoms following injection at a vet. I took my green checked conure To the vet because his poop looked a little weird and they ran a bunch of tests and they...

I'm writing this while crying. Please read this and help me please I'll give some context. I've had my green cheek conure ( Chester) for almost 4 years and I got him with 1 month. He didn't have any problems with biting except when he was passing puberty but never with me just with others. Two...

Hello I just got a brand new saddle and it’s been sitting in my room and I noticed it smells very strong like leather. Not necessarily chemically but very leathery. They do oil it with some kind of oil too so that may not be good. Do you guys know if the leather smell will hurt my conure. Do you...

Hi! I have been dying to have a question of mine answered so I decided to make an account. I have what I believe to be a male pineapple conure :) I recently adopted him from a bird store that was told, he was dropped off due to the family saying their children didn't have interest in a bird...

EDIT: NEW PICTURE, more recent, since we brought him home. This has happened after 3 days. ---- I'm bringing him home from an aviery today, and the keeper doesn't know why his wing and tail feathers are curved like that, he's just 8 weeks old. I have no other information yet!! Would be...

Hello! I recently noticed this really weird growth in my conure's tail. I've never seen something like this before so I was concerned if I should visit a vet right away. Not sure if anyone else has seen something like this and offer any advice, but he doesn't let me touch it and bites me very...

I was working with a GCC I have for a few months on her step up/down because while she would readily step up to go to my shoulder or her training perch, she wouldn't come off me without a target stick or a treat. But after about a week of working on the step up/down as a trick (treating on up...

Hello everybody Everything was very normal, Kiwi started to preen very normally and I wasn't really worried so I left the room for a couple minutes and when I came back I found a feather. I started to panic, because I thought he was plucking and I worried about what I was doing to stress him...

Hello, My name is Carmen and I have 2 pineapple conures name QTPI (Quentin) and GJ (Glow). I grew up with finches, parakeets and cockatiels. Although I’m not a first time bird parent I am a first time pineapple conure parront ;) . I’m excited to have stumbled on your platform and look forward...
