Hello and good evening from the Bay Area.
My wife and I just brought home an eight week old sun conure. We have named him Percival Sunny Parrot Esq, or Perci for short. We are very new to the bird world.
It all started with a trip to PetCo to look at fish tanks. They had lots of tanks, lots of fish. But right at the entrance was a Green Cheek conure. And it was so friendly. My wife wanted it right then and there. Thankfully PetCo did not have any cages in stock at the time. So no fish.... We went home and she immediately started researching. Watching video after video, eventually ending up to watching just about every video on BirdTricks.com. Which led to a new problem... She now wanted a Macaw or an Amazon as well. Other than the huge dent in our finances, we live in a condo. So she decided it was going to be between to birds. A Blue Crowned Conure or a Sun Conure.
We called everywhere, no one had either. And one pet shop literally sold their sun conure while we were on the phone discussing a deposit. We were fortunate enough to find a breeder though in Prunedale that had plenty of birds at various ages. He was kind, truthful, and very informative. And that is where we got Perci.
So far this is day one of Perci's life with us. He as been a very good bird so far. Eager to learn, and quick to learn. Right now he is in a sleeper cage, his full size cage arrives on Tuesday. (his sleeper cage is definitely big enough)
As new conure parents we are excited, and looking forward to many years of adventure with Perci. (fingers crossed all good).
