conures

Hi, I have a very strange situation with my GCC. Recently, my conure has stopped drinking water from his water dish in his cage. He only wants to drink out of glass cups. He has a stainless steel bowl that he has had his entire life, that I wash and fill with fresh water daily. He does use this...

I need some advice to help Teeko stop being so protective...Teeko is very loving toward me and wants to be by my side everywhere and anywhere at all times of the day. I love his attention as much as he loves mine and my wife's. But..the downside is he OVER protective. If anyone comes in my...

Teeko is a froot loop

Hi everyone! I recently adopted a baby GCC conure male named Jello. (previously I introduced him on here as Ziggy, but his name has since changed). He's a super sweet guy just trying to figure out how the world works, and he's so cuddly. But he bites... hard. He starts out by slowly pinching me...

I posted back in October of how I was afraid I had to rehome my two conures, and was just asking for advice. I didn't have the heart to reply back to everyone who messaged/interacted with the thread, but I'm very grateful and definitely took everything said into account. I really tried my best...

Hi everyone! Happy to say I haven’t had to make a post in a very long time because my 1 year old green cheek and I have been very happy! So here’s my dilemma I can’t decide if I should take my bird with me the weeks I go to my dads house or not. the back story: Every summer I go to my dads...

Hi all, I’ve grown up with parakeets cockatiels and finches and this is my first time with pineapple conures. The oldest is 1 year the youngest is almost 9 months both are DNA tested both males. Lately what has been happening is the youngest will shower and the older one will try to go next and...

Hey guys My names jacob and i just joined up to ask some questions about my lovely peach fronted conure Petrie. He’s going really well, and is the first conure ive owned. I’ve previously kept budgies and cockatiels, so i have a bit of experience. Anyway, he is hand-raised, gentle, and...

What in your opinion is the pellet food most Conures will eat? Im coming to the end of Connies bag of "Kaytee exact"which I had to grind up and sprinkle on her chop. I hear a few of you talking of" Zupreem" do you get it from Amazon. We are in lockdown atm,so would have to send for something...

My conure has been very quiet the last few days. She's usually very chipper and talkative, even in her sleep, but now she barely makes a noise when I leave the room. I just started a new job so I'm not home for as long as I was before so could it have something to do with that?? Or should I...

I believe that conures quite often lay up to 6 eggs but usually only rare 2 or 3, does anyone know why this may be the case. I now have a second pair of conures. It will be interesting how they go as well. Love Conures, they are great birds. I would appreciate comments on the number of hatchlings.

Resuced birds need home -- Dayton, Ohio I have 2 green cheek Coures and 2 Cockatiels in Dayton, Ohio. I rescued them from someone I know because they were not taking care of their properly. There were 3 Conures, One had a broken leg when I got him so I took him to the vet and after...

I have read information that says that Grapes are like poison to GCC and other information that says I feed my GCC Grapes and they love them. I would like to address the forum on this. Can I give my GCC Grapes? Thanks:gcc:

I'm Kirstan. I have 3 lovely Conures. Beau is a male crimson bellied conure. Zelda is a female crimson bellied conure and Thomas is a male turquoise green cheek conure. They are all 5 years or younger and all rehomes. I'm also seeking advice on Beau - he is a sweet bird of about 1 year and 8...

Hello everyone, I have been breeding tiels for a couple of years now and I have 2 large colonies but I am looking to extend my bird breeding. I have been trying to find an answer online but it is not very obvious. I live in Australia so for new birds, it is a bit more expensive and not many...

Hello all...my name is Jen and I used to post to the conure forum all of the time. I had two suns and a gcc that were tragically lost to a Teflon disaster a couple of years ago. They were much loved and will always be missed! After some healing, we went to the same breeder house to adopt another...

Hi! I am new to the site and have never posted on forum but am in need of an answer and hope to find it here. I have a budgie, sun conure and double yellowhead. My budgie has mated with the sun conure about 8x this morning. Is there any chance they were successful and will they (or can...

Hey everyone, We have a conure and she has had a triangle bed that she loves and the material she isn’t able to chew apart but we were wanting to replace it because she has had this one for a while and we can’t seem to find the same type of bed. Do you have any suggestions as to what material...

Hi guys, Me again, grr. I was thinking about my conures today (who are parents right now and taking care of their babies) and I was wondering what's going to happen to the bond we have with them now that this is going on? I try not to bother them too much now or take them out of the cage...

Hi everyone, I’ve been going through a journey with my conures that bred and we have three beautiful little babies hatched. I’ve been learning as I go with this experience and they are being parent raised. I have not interfered at all and only interact with the babies by taking them out to...

Hi everyone :green: this is my first time posting on here but I needn’t some suggestions... after doing what seemed like endless research I decided it was time I got myself a little 3 month old green cheek conure that I named Waddles! I’ve had him for about month now(first vet visit went great...

Can someone please give me some info. I’m going to set up an appointment with an avian vet but for the last few days Hermin my dusky conure has been acting weird. He will have random moments where he wants to play and be friendly with me and then other moments where he will snap at my fingers or...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to bird ownership. A few weeks ago I bought 3 cinnamon conures and I am loving every second I spend with them. I am their third home and they are 4 years old. Big Bill is the least timid of the three and I have been able to get him to step up pretty...

Hey, So i recently adopted two conures ( taco and tequila ), taco is 4 and was a hand raised bird were as tequila is 1 and hasn’t been handled. taco is really nippy and tequila is really flighty. Is there tips on getting them used to my hand and to tame them? Thankyou! :orange:

Hello everyone! I recently posted a thread about Echo and his plucking problem. Luckily his owner was in town and chose to come see him and I explained that he started plucking and after seeing her we are convinced its because he loves her and misses her. My friend has gotten permission to...

So yesterday I posted my idea about a self automated cleaning cage that dissolves debris and more, some people liked it and some people did not. Me and my group found out that this idea will not be safe for birds and scratched the idea completely, but we came up with something else for bird...

Hello, so I am in grade 7 and I am doing this thing with my friends in a group called the "invention convention." We needed to come up with an invention that solves a problem, build it, test it and market it. We came up with the idea of a bottom of a bird cage that when the bird throws food or...

Hi all! I have a GCC, Max. :gcc: He's probably about 3. He was.. neglected.. in his old place. He's terrified of fingers, doesn't step up when called, and has terrible separation anxiety over me (he has been smitten since I first met him.) My question is about his separation anxiety...

Hello! I'm currently looking into adopting a beautiful pair of conures from a rescue and was wondering what size cage two conures would share? I've tried googling but I want to be really sure I'm getting the proper amount of space for these feather babies. Also, any conure owners with any...

Hi everyone, I saw a forum about this recently but for the life of me I could not find it again. I plan to take my GCC with me basically everywhere I go that is suitable, and I believe a flight suit would allow me to do this. I would prefer one with a diaper included, purely because Conure poop...

I was looking at a rather shady site which made some claims about conures I'm skeptical of, notably that peach-fronted and dusky-headed conures are quiet. As I noted in another thread, the revision of conure taxonomy based on genetics places all of the conures with the strongest reputations for...

I find it amazing how much parrot taxonomy has changed since I started keeping parrots. When I started, parrots were treated as one family within the order, and though there were obvious similarities between some genera compared to other, classifications were relatively flat. Genetics has...

Hey everyone, I am wondering about bird backpacks and if they are safe, as well if it may be to overwhelming for birds, and others opinions on them and or experiences with them, here is a link to the website I first saw these backpacks on. https://www.celltei.com/birds-parrots.html . this is...

Hey, I've had my two conures, Zorab and Nello, for about a month now but can't seem to build up any trust with them. The lady I purchased them from said that she knew little about them and had only had them for about 5 months. She said that she was able to get them onto her hands and then...

Hi everyone. I have a female sun conure that is 9 months old. I recently got another sun conure that is probably a boy and is 3 years old. I want to house them in separate cages in the same room. Is that a good idea? I don't want to affect the 9 month old conures behavior though. Please tell me...

I have two sun conures that are both four years old and I love them to death. I bought them from a breeder and raised them since before they were even weaned. Within the four years I've had them they have never been ill and have always been little trouble makers! Now here's the thing, I have...

I just recently purchased a bonded pair of GCC both healthy they were surrendered to a adoption agency because the breeder couldn't get them to breed they are 8yrs old but we're on cheap walmart parrot food and in a small cage so we brought them home mix a diet of Kaytee Fiesta and Mazuri Small...

I just got an absolutely gorgeous green cheeked yellow-sided conure. He is beautiful and so loving. His name is eli. Eli is about 4 months old and the reason why im here is because, while ive only had him for about 4 days and he is very nice and very happy to spend time together on my...
