conure advice

Hello everyone, I have a 1 yr and 6months old pineapple conure. It recently has been breathing heavily with its mouth open and tongue moving up and down for no reason the weather is good he has water food everything I’ve had him since he was 40 days old. Could someone please tell me whats...

I’ve had my conure for maybe two months now. She is on a mix of 60% Zupreem fruit pellets, 40% sunburst seed mix, and she gets random fruits and vegetables everyday depending on what I am eating. I’ve had a cockatiel before and their poops are definitely way easier to maintain than my conure...

Hello, yet another new member here! I recently adopted a green cheeked conure, Echo, (unknown gender yet), and am ecstatic with them. They are not yet tame, but are not fearful, and accept bigger treats from my hand. They seem very eager to learn. Their age is somewhere between 6 months and a...

I cleaned and organized Aristotle’s cage today since I had no school, but I was wondering; what kinda of toys should I get for him? After all, his cage is mainly perches. (Also, I am going to buy him a bigger cage, but for now he is still using the cage that his previous owner gave to me.)...

Today I had my turquoise green cheek out of her cage and I noticed she started to make this noise. While making it I was petting her head and she was in my neck. Does this mean she wants me to stop?

Hi, so I should’ve made this account when I first got him, but last Monday, I was given a Green Cheek Conure by my friend because she wasn’t able to care for him anymore. I named him Aristotle because her family would only call him “bird”. I am trying to ween him off of a seed only diet to a...

Hello there I've looked around and decided I really want to bring home a green cheek conure as my companion. I've been shopping for toys, and what I have so far are 12 shredding toys, 2 puzzle toys, 5 different "natural" perches [naturally shaped for their feet], a sandpaper perch for their...

Hello everyone! I’m new here and I just needed to rant. I’m currently mourning the death of my conure Petunia. She passed away this afternoon unexpectedly. But I just can’t wrap my head around her death. This morning I woke up to two happy conures. They were all fine. Around 2ish my father...

How can I stop my Conure from biting? He gets jealous of every object I hold. I can't wipe up his poop without him come running and biting to the point of bleeding. He does the same when I hold remotes, phones, bottles, etc. I've been told so many different things. Ignore the behavior or say...

Hello!!!! So, I've had birds in the past, but they weren't tame/ lived in an aviary and I didn't really interact with them very much. The aviary was my parents when I was a child, and when I had my last birds, I was very depressed and didn't take the best of care of them admittedly, and ended up...

Recently my conure laid 2 eggs, but cracked both of them. She had a nest box and liked to sit inside. Before she did this thing where she’s flapping her wings and making noises once in a while. Now it’s 24/7. I don’t even think I’ve heard her sleep. To be honest it’s very annoying to me and...

I have two green cheek conures— Louie and Mango. I’m pretty sure Louie is male and Mango is female. Louie has always been a biter, drawing blood on multiple occasions, and his favorite places to bite are my lips, nose, ears, and fingers; however, he is not always like this. He enjoys cuddling...

It’s been a while since I’ve made a last post- I’ve got two jenday conures, that only stay in their cage to sleep or when I’m cleaning or when I’m not in the same room as them. ( I don’t want them to get startled or do something harmful for them). But when I put them in the cage to sleep, they...

Hey, first time poster and long time parrot owner. I have bought a new tower fan and upon opening I’ve noticed it has an optional setting on the remote to turn on ION. I just wanted to know if this fan is safe to use in the room where the parrot sleeps if the ION feature is turned off at all...

Hello! My name is Aspen, and 4 days ago I purchased my very first bird, a cinnamon GCC named Cypress, whom I love very much already. However, due to my inexperience, I feel as though my bird has developed behavioral issues that need to be corrected. So, in this post, I will outline everything I...

I’ve got two Jenday conures, both adults! Lately , the female has been sitting on my chest and shoulder while I’m laying down and just gliding her face against me while being super fluffed up. She’s still scared of hands and doesn’t like being pet, so I’m not sure what it is. Additionally , when...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a green cheek conure from a breeder who runs the local aviary, shes roughly 4-6 months old, and hand raised. However he had her in a cage with a bunch of other conures when i acquired her and he said i would have to re tame her which should take no...

My Pearly conure (just under a year and a half old) has recently had a rather drastic change in his behavior, I'm not positive but if I had to guess its probably been happening for around a month or two now. Until recently he was unable to fly (His wings were clipped before I got him) and when...

Hey everyone. I got a conure from a lady who rescued him about two weeks ago. She said he is very hand skittish around men, but seems to be okay with women. She suspects he was abused by a man. He lost one of his toes at some point. When I first brought him home, he was extremely aggressive. He...
