Baby sun conure

[JaegertheCat]

I am getting one of these 3 month old baby sun conures tomorrow. What are some tips and tricks for helping them bond with me? I know hand feeding and interacting/talking to them daily helps but anything else that could help I'd like to know.

Pick the bird that picks you, and .....

TRUST ME A SUN CONURE IS A LOVING, (but mischievous bird).

Oh the one on the left, or the one on the right.......wait why not both?

I know it's hard, both look hardy. Again pick the one that picks you.......or both. My sun conure is THE shoulder bird out of the rest of my flock. They love humans. It's the most person bird I've ever had.

How exciting! Congratulations! My biggest advice is to research, research, research if you haven’t already. Everything from diet, to how to read body language, good cage setups etc. I invested hours and hours of time into learning everything I could about green cheeks before my girl came home and it was SO worth it.

Otherwise I would say just remember to go at your bird’s pace. Learning to read their body language is key. Don’t force or rush interactions but instead build trust with patience. Your experience bringing home the bird will really vary depending on how socialized this baby is. I assume the baby was hand fed at least. If baby hasn’t been handled much yet it might take some more time to settle in. Remember to give him or her time to decompress in their new home.
