Hi,
I'm a new owner of a Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure, a first time bird owner... and new to this forum!
I got my conure 5 days ago, after a lot of researching. I originally was looking at an Alex (a conure was the first breed I was interested in though).. and when I met this little guy / or girl (awaiting DNA test).... I fell in love.
I got him from a bird shop in Victoria, he/ she was already hand raised and I am told is 10 weeks old.
He is great with everybody - the shop he was at used to have him out all the time, with different people holding him etc.... so, so far it's been a fairly good transition and he has taken well to his new environment.
I'm obviously learning and getting used to his body language etc which is why I'm here, to learn as much as I can!
I can't wait to get the DNA test back so that I can name him / her! So far I have in mind if a male, Lenny... if a female, Lola or unisex names - Charlie, Willow or Coco.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what their conures favourite toys are -- please let me know! He LOVES my computer.... and I don't really want my buttons chewed off! He actually gets nippy at me when I take him off the keyboard, so I'd love to get something for him that resembles a keyboard and buttons he can chew for his own....
I'm looking forward to reading what people have to say and any tips anyone can offer
