Hi Everyone,
On Saturday we decided to purchase a pair (sexes unknown) of Pineapple green cheek conures. We have been told they are roughly a year old although I suspect they are a little younger, they were apparently aviary bred so a little shy at the moment.
They were purchased from a large pet store so hence the little information we got about them we would of liked to know their hatch date etc but alas we decided that we could give them a better home than what they currently had.
We did some research first before diving in, like what cage and toys to purchase and behaviour etc. They have only been with us two days but appear happy and active, the attached picture of them is just before bedtime last night. Today we started work trying to feed them from hand and of course they were having none of it although they did start to appear to get a little more comfortable having a big hand in their space!
We really do love them and would really appreciate any help or advice any of you can give, especially with regards to taming them, we hope this is possible with birds that have not been hand reared? Other forums we have read seem to give us hope
Once sexed we shall name them, for now they are just called "pretty bird" lol very original . . .
