conure

Roughly 11 weeks ago, my Male Conure passed away. Not long before his departure, I recall him mating with my female conure. Today, she has laid an egg. While I know laying unfertilized eggs isn't uncommon, is there a chance that these might be fertilized? I'm curious about the possibilities...

Hello, I was looking for resources or anyone in the Cleveland Ohio area that has been looking to own a Conure for a while. My ex (right before they dumped me) bought me a parrot as a surprise gift when they knew I was looking to join the Air Force in 6 months, I feel really guilty about this...

Hello 👋🏻 Unfortunately ringworm has come to visit my house. My bird seems fine but I am worried about her. Ive looked online but I can not seem to find good awnsers. I'm concerned that if my she were to contract ringworm I would not know until it would be to late. I am unsure if she is allowed...

Helloo, I have some questions First one is about poop xd. I wanted to ask if parrot poops are usually big in the morning. Eddie's first poop is usually the largest one of the day. Idk if this is normal or not. His poops get smaller throuought the day, and wary in liquid depending on when he...

Eddie learnt a few tricks but the funniest by far is his wave. For me personally it's the trickiest one to teach a parrot and I think I was so excited when he did it finally that I started giving him the treats. But now he has it down and it is fun but it's not quite a wave. He positions his...

bothers me to get up the whole morning and then when I DO he falls asleep on my bed

Hi, I just want to ask about feel color Eddie is a yellow sided turquoise, and his feet look a bit pale greyish, his nails are also darker. The underneath part of his feet looks natural (light and pinkish) I know regular turquoise conures have blackish feet, but idk much about the yellow sided...

Hi! I need some foraging tips. I started target training, and some tricks like spin and wave and those are still a work in progress, but he is a really fast learner. He is still very young so I thought I'd teach him some tricks and recall training first, and then move on to foraging. But I...

Hello 👋🏻 I have a 5 year old Sun Conure. I have a 3 day vacation starting this Tuesday. The person who was meant to take care of my bird became very ill. I have run out of people to ask to take care of her. My next option is boarding. Does anyone have any input on the experience of boarding a bird?

Hello everyone! So my son went off to college and left me with 4 Conures. Over the past month (only through researching) I've noticed them having nesting behavior. They have a nesting box, which for a little over a week, all 4 have spent the majority of their time inside. 2 days ago I found an...

I went to the vet today with Eddie and the doctor said he was all good. She clipped his nails a tiny bit and he was so brave! He was very friendly and flew on top of her head :D. She answered some questions I had and reassured me that it's all good. I am collecting stool samples and they will do...

My conure loves bathing, but he needs water to come down like a faucet, and something with water below it like a lil’ bath. Im not sure if there are any ones like that, that are recommended so I thought id ask here. (Attached is Tiago after a bath🤭)

Hellooo. Today I woke up and let Eddie out of his cage, and he seems a bit overstimulated?? IDK if thats the reason but we won't stop flicking his wings (I managed to capture some of it, but he does it pretty frequently. Every slight movement I make is accompanied by wing flicking. He doesn't...

Hello once again! So as I said in my previous post we got a new baby bird (he is approximately 2 months old), and as it was with our beloved Cosmo, so it is with Edgar - quite a challenge. I dont remember if Cosmo was this bitey but Edgar sure is. As I learned all birds bite a little as...

Hello, it's been some time since I posted here! We finally got a new baby birb. His name is Eddie (Edgar) and he is so cute. While me and my family are a lot safer now around the new bird and they've encouraged me not to blame myself for Cosmo passing away, I AM STILL SO SCARED. Maybe I am...

Yooo its been awhile since ive posted here haha. Not sure if i should be posting this in general or specifically in the conure section, but im assuming this behavior goes for all parrots. Is there any specific reason why he does this? He seems happy and gets comfy afterwards so i dont think its...

Hello I have a conure who for context i’ve hand raised and have had him for about 6 months now . He has been eating the fruit zupreem pellets for the longest time and all of a sudden a few days ago he stopped eating . This is very scary to me . He is still eating his daily fruits and vegetables...

My 3 y/o pearly conure has a very strange relationship with toys, when I first got him he would shred everything in site toy or not. Then after about 5 months of having him (almost exactly when he turned 1 year old), he completely lost interest in toys, at the recommendation of people on this...

So I just bought what I was told to be a 4 week old sun conure. The breeders had fully weaned ones but they were insane and didn’t even like the breeder let alone me. They also offered the newborn which was irresponsible on their part and my dumbass took it cause I wanted to raise it. I’ve...

Tiagos been making these little grunting noises a LOT lately and im curious of what they mean. Ive tried looking it up but havent been able to find relating to these noises. I attached a video of the noises :)

I was recently relaxing with my conure and she bit my glasses and scratched my face. I don't think she meant anything from it but it spooked me and I got her off quickly. Ever since then she will no longer go onto my hand. She is eating the same and no bad behavior. She will take treats from my...

I know there's a bunch of threads here about this but I still would like some tips for my personal situation. I just got a 3 month old green cheek conure, it's only her second night home so I don't expect this to stop immediately. She's already very attached to me, she spends most of the day...

My baby Tiago is a 7 month pineapple conure! Im not home all of the time and ive been wondering if i should get him a friend. I dont know much of anything about bonding parrots and came to ask about it and what the best kind of age/gender/species would be best for him to bond with.

Hello guys I’ve asked before about my parrot on how aggressive he is and its not changing i might judging too fast cause its been like 4 months since i bought him and i wanna mention that i bought him from an owner not as a baby parrot he was 8-9 months at that time but anyways.. any tips? cause...

whenever tiago wants to have a preening session, he always goes for either my ear or my lip. He knows how to be gentle and doesnt nibble too hard. I know about human saliva supposedly being toxic to birds, but ive heard mixed things. Ive been trying to redirect him from my lips though just in...

in the past few days tiago has become a TON more cuddly and affectionate with me! he’s been very interested with nibbling my face and seems to do it to get my attention :,) Its super cute and i love it so much but it came out of nowhere so im wondering if this is normal parrot behavior. Im...

Ive been working with tiago (6 month old pineapple conure) to come to me on command, especially because he cant fly yet. I want to get him to get it down and understand it so that he comes to me when i need him to when his wing feathers eventually grow back. Hes doing pretty good, but only comes...

I was giving Tiago some kisses when he started making little noises back!! I think theyre super cute but im not sure what they mean. I attached a video of the squeaks :) had to edit down in order for it to fit 🥲

Hi all! I have two 7-8 month half moon conures (male & female) who have shared the same cage, food, water, etc. since early age. They bicker a lot and the male tends to peck at the female lots. Can’t separate them since they’ll lose their minds but not sure how to approach helping them be calmer...

My baby conure has little white pins on the top of his head and im wondering if theyre the ones i should attempt to help him out with. i added some pictures of his head :) (dont mind my messy floor. im wrapping stuff for christmas lol. Tiago is never on the floor!)

I posted something not too long ago asking about my birds biting habits, but now im trying to figure out what my lil guy is trying to accomplish lol! hes a 6 month old pineapple conure named Tiago and whenever i walk into the room he’ll make these super cute and soft squawking noise and whenever...

We bought this seven month old Conure yesterday, we were told she (don’t know if her sex is accurate) was a green cheek, Conure, but we think she’s a mutation. Can anyone help us identify what mutation she is?

Teeko, and the family. wanna wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving! I will be busy the day of. So I probably won't have time to post anything! But less we not forget those who are less fortunate. And, what the meaning of giving and kindness is all about! And that includes our birds as well! I...

Hello All! I have an 8.5yo Green Cheek Conure (Pip) who has within the past few weeks begun overpreening. I've had him for almost a decade and he's never exhibited this behaviour before. He's chewed all the flight feathers off on his left wing, ans all his tail feathers. I can't for the life of...

Leo doing a little dance

Hi everyone, this is my update from the last time I’ve shown Leo he was on all seed diet when I got him now he has converted to pellets and chop he has learned to step up to do target training!! he is doing an excellent job on that!! He’s starting to love baths(misting bottle, bathtime)!! He...

I just recently posted a thing my birds stinky “breath” to which a few people showed concern so I made a vet appointment- he went this morning and she cleared his crop of old food and set him on an antibacterial med well since then it seems like he’s completely changed - he’s quieter; very...

My pineapple green cheek isn’t sleeping the full 12 hours. I’m not doing anything to wake her up but she always wakes up before 12 hours or even 10 hours. What can I do to help her get her sleep

So sad weekend for teeko guys.. I wanna post this for people so they know this can HAPPEN!..and, to make sure you check your cages!! So with that being said.. I came home from work, And I didn't hear Teeko start yelling because... he usually does when he hears the door..so I automatically knew...

This is an incredibly difficult post to make, and it has taken years to come to this decision. I’ve posted in this forum multiple times requesting advice on if I’m the best home for my green cheek conure. I got Bree when I was 14 (currently 19) and I wasn’t able to truly grasp what I was...
