Maui - Sun Conure,
Gus - Yellow Collared Macaw
Just made an appointment for next Wednesday at the vet to get Maui the sun conure sexed! We have been calling Maui a "he" for the few weeks we've had him, but everyone seems to think Maui is more of a female name. :) We'll see!

$55 to have the vet do it. Kind of pricey, but I don't have the heart to pluck his feathers!

Still working on training.. I'm new here so none of you are familiar with Maui or his story, but he is a rescue. We don't know much about him besides awful things. He was fully flighted but was never allowed out of his cage. He was not given perches besides by his food - it took him 3 days to learn how to properly sit on a perch. Yes, he even slept clung to the side of the cage at night. He had wounds on his face from rubbing and knocking his head against his previous cage like a prisoner. They're healing & he is getting new pin feathers which is exciting. He is just now learning "step up" but it is a work in progress. He is the sweetest bird and just wants a friend!
 
Yes that is pricy. If you got bird from a breeder they can do this and usually charge about $25.
 
That's wonderful of you to give this bird the good home he/she deserves! We are sending out the dna dest for our new baby ourselves,($25) but our breeder was nice to pluck the feathers for me before we left with him/her. I'm not brave enough to pluck them myself! (We brought the kit with us).
