Hi, i have a 8 months sun conure male & i recently got a 2 and half month sun conure female from a friend. Both have bonded well and are currently staying in the same cage since 1 week without any issues. As my male will attain breeding maturity earlier, will it try to mate with the female...

Hello! I have recently adopted a 3 y.o. Sun Conure. She has not been genetically tested, but her feet are pink (not coral) and I believe her to be a female. She has been in my home for six weeks, and has been stepping up onto my hand from her cage and coming out for the past five. She was...

My boy Sunny has had some discolouration in some of his Wong feathers, it's been a very slow gradual progression and I'm not sure it's actually getting worse or not. He's 12, so not quite a spring chicken, but I wouldn't say he's old either. He had a yeast infection early this year which cleared...

My sun conure is about 50 days old. I brought it when it was around 30 days. I use the Nutribird A21 formula to handfeed. As you can see it has grown up quite well. But it is now unwilling to take the formula. Moreover, it cannot self feed yet. What can I do to make things better? The first...

Hello guys, I have a sun conure chick that has a separation on his bottom beak , its not bleeding or anything, and it doesn't seem to hurt or bother him. Should I worry about it, take him to vet? Or it will just grow up naturally? What do you suggest?

My sun conure is 11 months old and I just brought him home Friday it wasn't until I did some more research that I found out that I was suppose to let him be the first few days. I have probably been trying to interact with him too much, but now that I know what to do the next few days I will keep...

Hi all, Two days ago I got a new sun conure, (6 mo. old) and noticed yesterday he was puffed up and falling asleep on his perch. I am sure he is stressed from travels- store, to car, to new house, cage, people, hands, voices, etc. I don't think he slept much the first night at all...

About a month ago, I was scratching pin feathers for my sun conure and I noticed a bloody one on her neck. It was bothering her so I looked it up online and assumed it was a broken pin feather so I pulled it out for her. I was worried she was bleeding but when I checked the spot 10 minutes later...

I recently bought a sun conure from a private breeder. Tutti, my sun conure, is 3 months old so the seller gave me the baby food that I mix with warm water. But ever since I bought Tutti, he's been sneezing. I've had him for 5 days, and he sneezes on a daily basis, a few times in the morning...

Hey everyone, today has been noted to be the worst day of my life. I came home from school to nothing. I found out all of my birds were sent to the hospital because they dropped like flies and it's been lead to believe that it was because of our cookware. We're not sure, they said it was...
