- Female Dusky Conure (Kayak) Female Sun Conure (Carlisle) Female Budgie (Meister) Male Budgie (Spooky Burd)
My two conures couldn't be more different from each other. Their behavior and attitudes are like night and day. I finally got caught them when they were eating their food at the same time. I had just changed food and water when I took this video. Kayak is eating the size food that Carlisle normally eats. I ran out of her food yesterday morning and I haven't been up to driving to the bird store.
I put ice cubes in their water because they enjoy playing with them. I discovered this a few weeks ago when Carlisle tried to stick his entire body in my glass of iced tea to get the ice cubes. Silly sticky, iced tea smelling bird. Now when I change water I'll give them a few ice cubes to play with. The budgies even enjoy an ice cube in their water. Spooky touches it with his foot, yells at it, touches it again, yells at it, flies away, comes back and drinks some water. They're nuts for their ice.

Kayak likes to throw the smaller pellets around. She'll stick her head in, get excited and toss it all over the place. She's a dunker.

Carlisle likes to pick up food, drop it in his water, eat a piece, bob his head like crazy, eat another piece, bob some more, eat...etc. He's the craziest of all of them when it comes to eating. He will talk nonstop while snacking. Today he didn't talk any more than the usual "Hello" that he says all day long.
Note: Their cages are a mess before somebody comments on that. It's cleaning day today, I'd rather them eat and get the majority of the mess out of the way before I proceed with cleaning. I'll enjoy my clean cages for a whole 2 minutes longer this way
