not yet a bird owner...

[morganjay]

Hello, Im hoping to get some insight from veteran Conure owners on what to expect with the breed.
Ive had Cockatiels and Monk Parakeets most of my life, and my oldest boy died 3 years ago and Im just now feeling I am ready to adopt again.
I only want to adopt a rescue, and have recently been in contact with someone looking to rehome their Sun Conure. They live a good distance, and before I drive all the way out to meet her I thought Id get some advice from veteran owners. I really want it to be the right fit so both bird and human are happy
Ive done a lot of reading about them, but would love some personal thoughts and whats it like living with a Conure? Anybody here who wouldnt mind me picking their brain and asking a bunch of questions?

I owned a Jenday Conure in the past and he was super sweet, and they are similar to Sun conures. If I had the opportunity to get another, I'd get a Sun. THey can be so sweet, affectionate and loving companions. What specific questions did you have about them?

Also, WELCOME and it's great you are reaching out first before diving in.

Welcome to you! I hear a lot of good about them. They can be very loud!

Welcome! I'm glad you found us.
And I'm glad and grateful you're rescuing a bird in need.
Suns are famously popular among conures lovers. Many fanciers here.
While you're waiting to hear from them, I suggest using the SEARCH tab above to look for previous/ongoing threads...

Welcome to the forums, thanks for seeking answers before taking the plunge. Much respect for your desire to adopt from a rescue!!

That said, I have precious little conure experience, but others will likely stop by to share their thoughts.
