I almost bought this little Black capped Conure from petco today. This is the second time I have gone to see him. I feel like he wants to come home with us. He is shy when I put my hand in the cage. He does not freak out and will come on my hand if I wait.
This bird is from a "Bird mill" one reason I am not sure I should get him. He is not as tame as he should be. He seems to be really young. The price is $545 because it is a black capped not Green cheek. They seem like they are almost the same bird but anyways.
I found some Black capped conures from breeders online for cheaper. I would have to have it shipped and could not pick the bird that wanted me. Has anyone every ordered from a breeding and had the bird shipped? How did that work out for you?.
SO here is the little guy I took video.
He looks a bit aggressive at times too. Such mixed messages from this bird. I think he could just be frustrated. When I put my hand in the cage he is good not flighty like the other one. He will go on my hand is not aggressive. He is a little nippy but does not bite hard like one Green cheek I met today.

Don't mind me being a weirdo I was so confused I wanted him but was not sure if he was the one. Very torn over this bird. When I saw him for the first time yesterday he was not like this. It's like he remembers me. Not sure maybe I am just crazy.

Does that look like a bird that want to come home with us? I know what he is doing he is being cute and showing off. I don't like the idea of supporting petco selling birds that come from bird mills. I am so confused. at the same time If I don't get him he will be stuck there for months and months. The lady that helped me with the bird this time was a bit of a jerk. She had this attitude of just buy the bird already. I said this is a 20+ year commitment and a lot of money. I want to make sure it is the right bird. Then she was a little nicer to me. I did not like her.
