    One-person bird training help

    Thanks in advance for reading (: I have a (approx) 5 year old Nanday Conure named Mort and she has decided I am her human. She's always been very wary of hands and humans (I know nothing about her life before me & I believe she wasn't socialized with humans at all). She used to like my bf but...

    Nanday conure aggressive

    Hello I recently bought a Nanday conure from a bird shop my mom bought it and she told me about the place it seemed sketchy. They said they had a warehouse where they breed birds. They didn’t give her any paper that indicates the bird was healthy nor did they give us his hatch date. They said...

    Playstand recommendations for Nanday Conure

    Apologies in advance, any links I've come across on here no longer work or are out of stock. I am looking for suggestions for tabletop playstands for my Nanday. Ideally I'd like space for a toy and at least 1 bowl. Free standing ones are not a complete no, but I'd really like to be able to move...

    I need some help. I have a nanday I'm caring for and something is wrong. He was really skinny, so we fed him baby food 4-6 times a day, gave him millet, fruits and veggies and plain cheerios.

    Nanday has watery eyes, weakness, lethargy and feels cold.

    I'm visiting my uncle and his Nanday is clearly ill. I'm bringing him to the vet first thing in the morning. Three days ago he had his foot caught at the bottom of his cage to a towel that had been covering the cage. Nobody heard him screaming until he had been stuck for 2-3 hours because the...

    Tips on switching cages for a nervous birdie

    My nanday conure, Mort, is very attached to her cage. Some days she won't want to leave it, and the top removes, so if we want her to interact with us in another room we need to tote the top along with us. (Might also partially be because shes not a fan of being handled/ hands/ sometimes even...

    Cracked Unfertilized Egg

    My nanday conure just laid and unfertilized egg, I've had to deal with her eggs before but this one is cracked.

    Hello! New Nanday Conure!

    Hello everyone! My name is Ace and I just became the owner, rather unexpectedly, of an adorable Nanday Conure named Aldo.

    I need some advice on wing clipping

    So I have had my nanday for about a year and half now. I had been taking him to get his wings and nails clipped at the pet shop I had bought him from for the last year and a half, but last time I had taken him to get clipped they gave him back to me with a bloody beak.
