sun conure

I never really expected my sun conure, Blaze, to be much of a talker. Both my boyfriend and I are quiet people, and the fact that Blaze doesn't scream for hours on end like some horror stories I've heard made me think that she wasn't going to be the most vocal. Not that I minded. I didn't get a...

Hi, I wanted to buy a Sun conure chick but I was thinking of buying two instead of one, not for breeding purposes but so that it doesn't feel lonely. I can devote an hour daily to it (and my sister is also willing to take care of it) but just in case I was thinking if it would be happier if I...

Hello everyone! Pipa, my sun conure and I are newbz here. I got her about a month ago. She hatched on 12/30/13. She is as picky of an eater as her owner is! We hope to learn a lot about conures so that we can have a fantastic life together! :rainbow1::)

My sun conure, Elly, chews absolutely everything! The few times I wasn't watching her like a hawk, she has managed to chew at the wires of my headphones and at the plastic ends of the laces of my hoodie. She has not shown any symptoms of having swallowed any foreign material, but I am still kind...

Last night as I was cuddling with Blaze, I rubbed my thumb over one of her wings and felt something hard. I parted the feathers gently and was shocked to see a bit of blood on her. When I tried to stretch her wing out to get a better look, she instantly pulled it back with a squawk so I was...

My Rocky loves his cage He's such a good boy I have never liked the idea of having a caged bird but I love them aswell so I had the idea that he just stays out So I made him this! He's the happiest birdie now when I take him back to his room he flaps his wings like crazy to get back to it He...

I have my baby boy named rocky :-) he's a cutie Re refuses to sleep in his bed I had him a bird nest box, a tent bed, a bit of soft fabric for him to sleep next to. And nothing he just sleeps on his perch. I'm worried because we will be coming into winter soon and I don't want him to freeze to...

Does anyone know if it is possible to import sun conures into Australia from America??? We do have sun conures here but I really want a red factor sun conure and I am unable to find any here. HELP PLEASE :-)

Hey guys I've got my beautiful boy rocky who is about 8 months old, he's very well behaved and I'm looking to get him a buddy! Im thinking of getting a female conure so down the track they can breed, I am experienced in hand raising birds and I would love to do it down the track again but I...

Hello my fellow farents! When I first joined this forum it was mainly to share my love of these amazing creatures and funny stories but also to seek and give advice. It got a bit lonely sharing my stories with others who do NOT have birds or they have cats/dogs/horses instead. Our ability to...

Ever since I purchased Blaze, she's been an extreme snuggler. She loves laying right on my chest where my hair falls, or she'll climb up onto my shoulder and lean against my neck. It's just the cutest, little thing. However, she does this rapid sniffing (I guess you could call it an avian...

I've had a couple of moments where Blaze has made me nervous. Falls from the top perch, sudden flutters when outside, just little things. However, I had my biggest scare last night. My boyfriend and I were on the couch watching a movie. Blaze was eating a bit before bed like she normally...

Hello! I'm an aviphile owner of a six month old Senegal Parrot, a nine month old Parrotlet, and a three year old Sun Conure. I've hand-fed all my birds, except the Sun Conure, and I hope to hand-feed more little babies in the future! I hope to post, learn, and comment with many of you on...
