New to the bird world!

[MangoConure]

Hello, my name is Stephen. My girlfriend and I just purchased a sun conure named Mango. He is about 2 years old. This is the first bird either of us have owned. We love the little guy and learn more about him each day.

Any advice, tips, etc... would be excellent, we are new to this...lol



Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! There are plenty of folks here that own conures so they are able to give you advise. The advise that I can give is to use a good training program and feed an all natural diet such as sprouted, germinated seed and vegetable chop. I do feed organic pellets but only as a treat and in small quantities.

Show us some pictures when you can.

I got my first bird (an Amazon) a year ago. I took him straight to the best Vet in the area & said "Help! I know nothing about birds & I want him to be happy & healthy for the next 50 years." The Vet gave me a bunch of pamphlets & websites dealing with nutrition, exercise, etc. Since I don't work outside the home I am able to cook meals for him & let him fly from room to room & follow me all day. He is a wonderful companion! And it's always nice to get whistled at in the shower.
