conure

Ellie is starting to get a little bothered by her ID band on her foot. i'd personally like to keep it on her in the case that she flies away, but I also want her to be comfortable and not irritated.

I've had Ellie for three weeks now and she's five, almost six months old. She does this thing whenever I set her on her playset she calls out for me so I walk over to her and she straight up nips at me? it's never a bite bite but it's a firm nibble. I always make sure to read her body language...

Roughly 11 weeks ago, my Male Conure passed away. Not long before his departure, I recall him mating with my female conure. Today, she has laid an egg. While I know laying unfertilized eggs isn't uncommon, is there a chance that these might be fertilized? I'm curious about the possibilities...

Hello, I was looking for resources or anyone in the Cleveland Ohio area that has been looking to own a Conure for a while. My ex (right before they dumped me) bought me a parrot as a surprise gift when they knew I was looking to join the Air Force in 6 months, I feel really guilty about this...

Hello 👋🏻 Unfortunately ringworm has come to visit my house. My bird seems fine but I am worried about her. Ive looked online but I can not seem to find good awnsers. I'm concerned that if my she were to contract ringworm I would not know until it would be to late. I am unsure if she is allowed...

Helloo, I have some questions First one is about poop xd. I wanted to ask if parrot poops are usually big in the morning. Eddie's first poop is usually the largest one of the day. Idk if this is normal or not. His poops get smaller throuought the day, and wary in liquid depending on when he...

Eddie learnt a few tricks but the funniest by far is his wave. For me personally it's the trickiest one to teach a parrot and I think I was so excited when he did it finally that I started giving him the treats. But now he has it down and it is fun but it's not quite a wave. He positions his...

bothers me to get up the whole morning and then when I DO he falls asleep on my bed

Hi, I just want to ask about feel color Eddie is a yellow sided turquoise, and his feet look a bit pale greyish, his nails are also darker. The underneath part of his feet looks natural (light and pinkish) I know regular turquoise conures have blackish feet, but idk much about the yellow sided...

Hi! I need some foraging tips. I started target training, and some tricks like spin and wave and those are still a work in progress, but he is a really fast learner. He is still very young so I thought I'd teach him some tricks and recall training first, and then move on to foraging. But I...

Hello 👋🏻 I have a 5 year old Sun Conure. I have a 3 day vacation starting this Tuesday. The person who was meant to take care of my bird became very ill. I have run out of people to ask to take care of her. My next option is boarding. Does anyone have any input on the experience of boarding a bird?

Hello everyone! So my son went off to college and left me with 4 Conures. Over the past month (only through researching) I've noticed them having nesting behavior. They have a nesting box, which for a little over a week, all 4 have spent the majority of their time inside. 2 days ago I found an...

I went to the vet today with Eddie and the doctor said he was all good. She clipped his nails a tiny bit and he was so brave! He was very friendly and flew on top of her head :D. She answered some questions I had and reassured me that it's all good. I am collecting stool samples and they will do...

My conure loves bathing, but he needs water to come down like a faucet, and something with water below it like a lil’ bath. Im not sure if there are any ones like that, that are recommended so I thought id ask here. (Attached is Tiago after a bath🤭)

Hellooo. Today I woke up and let Eddie out of his cage, and he seems a bit overstimulated?? IDK if thats the reason but we won't stop flicking his wings (I managed to capture some of it, but he does it pretty frequently. Every slight movement I make is accompanied by wing flicking. He doesn't...

Hello once again! So as I said in my previous post we got a new baby bird (he is approximately 2 months old), and as it was with our beloved Cosmo, so it is with Edgar - quite a challenge. I dont remember if Cosmo was this bitey but Edgar sure is. As I learned all birds bite a little as...

Hello, it's been some time since I posted here! We finally got a new baby birb. His name is Eddie (Edgar) and he is so cute. While me and my family are a lot safer now around the new bird and they've encouraged me not to blame myself for Cosmo passing away, I AM STILL SO SCARED. Maybe I am...

Yooo its been awhile since ive posted here haha. Not sure if i should be posting this in general or specifically in the conure section, but im assuming this behavior goes for all parrots. Is there any specific reason why he does this? He seems happy and gets comfy afterwards so i dont think its...

Hello I have a conure who for context i’ve hand raised and have had him for about 6 months now . He has been eating the fruit zupreem pellets for the longest time and all of a sudden a few days ago he stopped eating . This is very scary to me . He is still eating his daily fruits and vegetables...

My 3 y/o pearly conure has a very strange relationship with toys, when I first got him he would shred everything in site toy or not. Then after about 5 months of having him (almost exactly when he turned 1 year old), he completely lost interest in toys, at the recommendation of people on this...
