conures

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...

Hello! My two green cheeks, Zazu and Bowie, (female and male) have recently started mating. I bought them a nesting box knowing that Zazu with was egg. As the big day approached I tried my best to figure out how to raise these eggs to babies, and so on and so fourth. Since the "pregnancy" timing...

The bird protector has been removed from his cage. I moved Polly's food and water dish to the top section of his cage and he is eating and drinking frequently now! He is also eating things other than just seeds on his own! I put them in his cage so he might try them and he did!!! I think he...

I recently purchased a breeding pair (Proven) of Black Capped Conures. They, as expected, are far from friendly (quite wild) but have decided not to enter breeding mode at all. When I purchased them they were, apparently, getting quite ready to breed, but ever since I have brought them home...

Hello all, I recently changed Elijah's diet from seeds to pellets. However he refuses to eat the pellets. I always have to put some seeds in so that i'm sure he'll eat something. Any advice on how I can get him to like them? Will he starve if I just stop putting the seeds in? His diet consist...

What is the recommended cage size for two conures? =D

We're making a lot of progress, and Jelly doesn't seem to be plucking, or if she was, it has mostly subsided... but she is losing/growing feathers, so I think we're definitely dealing with molting now. Anyway, a couple weeks ago I started giving her a powder/supplement called Featheriffic...

Is there a certain time limit to how long you can keep a flight suit on a parrot? We are taking a 9 hour trip in a rental so we cant have him pooping in the car. Or does anyone know of a strong cleaner that gets poop out instantly? I at least need the first question answered please, thanks!

My GCC is 1 and a half year old. He is starting to get into his toys more. He loves playing with the paper, his favorite toy are bottle caps from sodas (don't worry we wash them). I found this squid toy with a bunch of hanging rope and beads. It's called the Giant Squid Bird Toy. Says it is...

Hi, I've been looking for some help on how to get my pineapple conure to stop biting, and to hopefully get an idea of why she's biting in the first place. There was another thread about biting conures, I however feel I need to be very specific with my case, as I haven't found tips on stopping...

Hi, I have two small conures, Mitch and Mazey. I bought a pomegranate from the supermarket today, but am unsure about how to feed it to them. Can I give my conures the whole fruit cut into quarters or chunks, or is the outside of the fruit poisonous to them. :green2:

Hi Everyone! I recently adopted a Cinnamon Green Cheeked Conure for my Pop, having read some good thing about them being used as companions animals. I spend a lot of time taking care of my grandfather- he suffers dementia (not too advanced) and now we've learned that after 21 years in...

Sun Conures at Petstore Hello! I am new and I hope it is ok for me to be posting this on here! So I have just started working at the Petland near my college. We got 2 Sun Conures about 2-3 weeks ago and I’ve been slowly falling in love with them! But I know they’re not getting what they...

Recently brought home my son's new GC, The Mean Green Jellybean! Was told by the breeder she was down to 2 hand feedings and was doing well on solids... we're doing great with the hand feedings, but Beanie seems much more interested in them than the solids we're offering her! (Beans, potato...

Hello, I have a one year old Sun Conure named Romeo and I am wondering if any of you out there of experienced this type of behavior due the bird being stressed? So starting on Monday I was feeding him a new type of food by Kaytee because Petsmart was out of his regular food (Kaytee Fiesta...

Alright, so I've been thinking about my favorite types of birds (That I could afford) and my favorites were Conures and Cockatiels. My sister has a bit of asthma (She hasn't had an attack for 10 years, but just in case) so I've decided Conures woukld be great. And so, I ask, what's the best...

Hey everyone, in anticipation of me getting a Green Cheek Conure soon, I thought I'd have a little fun and ask what everyone's favorite color mutations are! I know anyone that has a GCC will probably say whichever one they have, but lets try and see what really is the most popular one! So, out...

My little sister wants to paint her room and I'm worried about Hiccup, since our rooms are connected by a vent and Hiccup, obviously, is in my room. I'm worried about fumes and how long they'll be lingering, any advice?

Just this week, Hiccup has started screaming. It's this high pitched scream that I'm sure all conure owners have heard. It doesn't hurt my ears, she's not that loud, but she only does it every once and a while and it scares the crap out of me every time. Yesterday she did it five times while I...

Alright, anything special I should do in preparation for tonight? I have a bunch of five hundred gram fireworks I'm going to be setting off tonight. Hiccup will be inside, it'll be after her bedtime, but I worry she might be scared if she starts hearing the explosions. I really like our...

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum; I'm a new sun conure mom! I have a smaller cage but someone gave me a large cage, 3 feet X 4 feet X 5 feet and the bar spacing is one inch. Is that too big for a sun conure? I don't want to risk her head getting stuck in the bars if that's a possibility...

Alright, I know eating is a social thing for birds, but I want someone elses opinion. Helitorian is very lenient with her birds, letting Con and Barker eat off her plate, drink from her cup, and offering them drinks from her water bottle to the point where she told me Con flew over to her...
