conures

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...

I just got a Jenday Conure who I named Suki. She's threeish and was already tamed and trained to step up/stand on shoulders. But I only got her a few days ago, and she's already cuddling or something. I wasn't going to hold her so soon, but she gets so excited when I go by her cage. She chirps...
