Conures make the best feathered friends.I see so many threads like this, I'm glad I didn't get a conure, they can be a menace
My green cheek went into her first mating season at 5 years old and it was a nightmare.
She decided that under the sofa was her nest and used to bite the back of my heels.
Once I didn't move so she bit me hard and locked her beak on my achilles tendon. I tried to shake her off and blood flew all over. I had to pry her beak open and put her in her cage. Thank goodness it didn't last long and she is the best companion now. She is going on 13 and is my sweet baby girl. She still bites occasionally. Its just their behavior. She bites to warn me of danger. She hates the tv remote and will pick it up, throw it on the floor, jump on it and beat crap out of it. No damage though. I just pick it up and put it away.
She hates items that are blue and black.
She'll attack them. She also attacks my cell phone. Probably jealous when I talk too long. GC conures are little love bugs. They like to snuggle. Bodie likes to snuggle against my neck and watch tv with me.
I highly recommend all bird parents get a copy of Dr Speers "Birds For Dummies". It's the best book about companion birds on the market. He is a world famous Avian Vet
and lives in California. People from all over the world will bring their birds to him. He was our vet and he is wonderful!
So don't give up your conure. He/she can be your best friend for life.
