Baby sun conures!

[Sybil]

I have three baby sun conures! They are so adorable 🥰 I took them out of their box for the first time yesterday. The parents don’t mind me around them, but when my niece came over to look at the babies the Mommy bird got very mad. She was fluffy, going back and forth and squawking. I’m glad both birds are still nice to me. I also got two Indian ringnecks. One is double factor violet (male) and the other is a turquoise harlequin (female). They are both pretty young.

Aww how precious! Little uncooked chickens!

It’s so funny how they look like little chickens 😂 They really are adorable. I’m so happy the parents are still friendly even if it is just to me 🤣 I can’t wait to see if I get any red factor babies! I’ll probably find out next week.

These are baby suns? Are the parents the birds in the second picture on your shoulder?

I’m confused as you said the color mutation which apply to Indian ring necks, not sun conures?

They’re cuties but this is confusing! 😅

Yup they are baby sun conures! These are the parents. The birds on my shoulder are my new Indian ringneck babies!

Oh okay! Makes sense now!

They look like uncooked chicken breasts that got dropped on a hairy carpet! It’s good the parents are still friendly to you! I’m excited to see if the babies are RFs too!

So adorable! Looks like Mama and Daddy are doing a fabulous job! So much better than having to feed them yourself.

Oh yes the Mommy and Daddy are doing an amazing job feeding them. They for some reason are eating mostly seeds. 🤷‍♀️ They get fed chop and have 3 kinds of pellets but they keep demanding seeds 😂 They have gotten so much bigger. I wonder how much longer I’ll have to wait to find out if they are red factor or regular ones.

Maybe they want seeds because growing babies have high caloric needs and they perceive the seeds as better satisfying that need. The seeds are probably more filling too.

I just hope it’s ok that I’m giving them so much 😅

As long as you're offering the parents a wide range of foods I think you can't do more than that. Are you offering the parents hard boiled eggs? It's excellent for for both the parents and the chicks.

Yup they get tons of stuff 😁

I'm sure all is well. You certainly can't do more than offer the parents a wide range of nutritious foods. They must have their reasons for preferring to feed their babies seeds.

I think so too. The babies must be eating a lot. 😁 I’m giving them a wide variety of food. The babies are starting to get their colors. I think the two big ones might be red factor. You can see red coming in on their head and wings.

I just hope that I won’t get a bronze baby. Before my suns breed I talked to another person that breeds suns and she said that she didn’t think I would get bronze babies. I would feel so bad if I did since they don’t live past weaning age. 😰 I’ll know for sure once their feathers all come in.

I hope you don’t get any bronzes either! Those. Little spicy chicken nuggets are too precious!

AWW OMG could you pat the little takis on the heads and tell them they are precious for me?
