Lucy (Lucifer) a Moon Conure
Talking on the phone...i have to go outside or Lucy will loose her mind flapping screeching bobbing at the front of her cage

Paying attention to the dog....If she's out she will hunt you down to bite you if she's in the cage she throws a fit.... Unless she's on the hand thats petting the dog then she makes a cooing sound.

Broccoli... She will throw every piece to the floor even if its off my dinner plate.

Hands in her cage She will bite the crap out of you If She is in the cage.... Use a perch and She will eagerly jump to it and run to your hand......

Wiping the stove with a paper towel......use a regular wash cloth or sponge and She doesn't flinch

That's all i can think of at the moment.

Green Cheeked Conure called JellyBean
This thread has really cheered me up on a cold and wet January day in Ireland.. and I thought that it was just JellyBean who has irrational dislikes, his are:

1. White paper - kitchen roll especially...
2. The aviator harness.. that was a waste of money!!
3. My sister-in-law (smart bird!)
4. Straws
5. Things coloured red (reminds him of the aviator harness, I think!)
6. Tin foil - he attacks it like it is a predator..

He absolutely loves:
1. Drawers - specially ones with hats and gloves
2. The grill - for some reason, he gets really territorial with it..
3. Corks - shreds them to bits..
4. Anyone with blond hair - loves to perch on them.
5. Silver and shiny metal
5. ME! hahaha

Umm, not a fun list for me, because my conure hates ME the most! :( He was very sick last year, and I had to put on his collars, replace bandages, administer medications, etc... well, he apparently thought I was torturing him, so since then he hates me and always wants to bite.
He hates paper towel rolls or anything of that shape and size,
my lovebird Coco
working mixer, blender or vacuum
stuffed animals (not that much)
and the most (after me) - being in the cage when Coco is out! :D

Pico - yellow sided GCC
I'm a little late but this post seemed so fun!
Pico hates:
- FEET and DOGS! those tie for the things he hates the most
- being taken off shoulders
- when i'm asleep in the mornings while he is awake
- when I talk to him while he is already trying to go to sleep in his hut, LOL
- his reflection (sometimes. he's getting used to it)
- being touched on his belly while he is in a sassy mood
- I think he hates music but i'm not sure if he is just trying to sing along
- cellphones
- being sprayed with bottles
- vacuum cleaners (I recently discovered this hatred. he gets beyond frightened)

Pico loves:
- everyone he's introduced to (unless he's in a sassy mood)
- getting tasty treats/getting his food replaced
- taking showers
- the sound of my front door when it opens
- when he gets lots of "momma and me" time
- the portable heater in my room
- earrings, necklaces, and anything else that dangles or shines

@Sunnybirl I love that saying in your sig. "Home is where the bird is". So true. I am happiest when I am with Skitty.

Conure dislikes:

Tazzy's- My daughter. His arch nemesis, the minute he sees her he's ticked off and ruffled, angry and grumble talking. If she approaches, he starts banging on the cage top with his beak as if to say "Come here and I shall destroy you." He hates gas station soda pop cups and will tear into them. This has caused more than one slow leak and the need to change cups. That's pretty much it for him. He's cool on everything else.

Yuki's- Separation from people is his number one thing. Major drama at bedtime. He screams "Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! as shrill as he can get. He also hates stingy house guests that don't understand ALL food is his food. Plates raids are so common that now he has to be put up if we have people over for dinner. He hates me loading the dishwasher and getting the dishes out of the sink and stops me almost every day. He flies in the kitchen and waddles down my arm and must immediately bathe and splash profusely in my hands under the running tap water. During his bath he flings water all over me (especially right in my face). He hates the vacuum. He hates the budgies. He hates the pine nut treat container lid that keeps him from his precious pine nuts. He gets on the desk and chews it all the time in frustration. Pine nuts are like potato chips, you can't have just one.
