Hey yāall. Any half moon conure owners here? Itās me again, the crazy lady who has probably visited every parrot available in the Seattle metro area!
I have never had a conure! Iāve only had an Amazon, a cockatiel, a budgie when I was seven years old (thirty years ago, wow!) and a timneh African grey I rescued in college. This little sir/maāam has been looking for a new home for some time. The red rump parakeet we visited did not seem to care for us much, sadly. This little lady/fella however takes treats from me and from my kids (but only from her cage). She is not hand tame but is interested in people. Sheās been at the store for a while now.
I have read half moons can be aggressive but I havenāt seen this behavior in this bird; but sheās 9-10mo old so itās possible she isnāt mature enough for that to be an issue. I would love to hear from anyone here who has half moon experience, especially if youāve got other larger birds. We wouldnāt let them have shared āoutā time, but I am a little worried if sheāll fly to his cage to pick fights. She or he seems very timid so I hope thatās unlikely.
