conure

Hiya everyone! I've kind of been ghosting around the site for a little while, reading some helpful threads, and finally decided to say hello. My name is Sebastian, I'm 22 and a university student here in Ontario, Canada. I got my Cinnamon Conure this week and he is 9 weeks old, his name is...

Hi There, Context of our bird situation - We have three birds, two conures, Tito and Susie, and an Indian Ring-neck, Ollie. They are all buddies, except Tito and Susie are housed together and have been for years, they are buds. Ollie has his own cage. Tito is about 3 1/2 yo, Susie 1 1/2yo and...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. I have very little experience with birds. When I was little, I had two budgies but only my mom handled them. I did not get out of that experience due to my young age. We didn't really know what we were doing so they were not tamed or trained at all. They...

Hello, Would you guys recommend multi vitamins? After doing some Internet re-search, a lot of people say its not smart to add Multi Vitamins to water, etc, and because of that, i am unsure if this should be wise to do, or not. Abby eats a lot of Carrot / Peach / Apple / (some seeds and some...

Conure v Hahns Brace yourself, this is going to be long and I'm not sure where to put it forum wise. So I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have decided that I am going to get one bird, my future husband is cooperative, and I have a decent sized cage occupying a section of my third floor apartment...

What are some good treats for giving my Black Capped Conure when training him? He is 3 months old and my first bird. I want to make sure I feed him something that is special so it seems like a reward and also not too filling, and of course not unhealthy! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone :) Since I am considering my second bird to be a sun conure, I was hoping that someone with a sun could tell me a bit about their experiences with them? Especially how loud they are and how much they vocalize. I have a gold cap already so I think the noise level is similar but I've...

I'm really proud of this week's mash. This week as in... I actually decided to plan ahead and prep for the week so everything goes faster. I cooked up some mung beans and quinoa for grains/legumes. I put a bit of apple cider vinegar to prevent any nasty bacteria and put it in the fridge. For...

Hello :) I've got a gold cap, Jade, she's a little over a year old and we are planning to get a second bird. I've heard that once people get two birds they begin to bond with each other and don't really want to spend as much time with humans anymore. Right now we are on vacation and Jade with...

:green2: Hello my name is Mark from New Jersey and I have just recently purchased my first bird. He is a 5 month old Green Cheek Conure named Watson. I have always wanted a bird and when the opportunity came I couldn't wait. My girlfriend and her family have a 27 year-old blue fronted amazon...

Hello I have a jenday conure, and when hes on my shoulder he likes to pick inside me ear alot. I tried telling him no and trying to stop him the moment he does it, but that lasts onle a few seconds or 1-2 minutes. After that he tries again. And if i let him he overdoes that and picks more and...

I just signed up and it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to post so sorry if I seem really stupid 😂 I had my mind set on a GCC and emailed a breeder for this one baby she had that I fell in love with. Sadly,he got sold the day before. She will have more GCCs available in 4 weeks. Today I...

Hi everyone, I have a 4 year old Green cheek conure named Bowser. He is the only parrot I have since I let go of the second Conure I bought a couple years ago to a very nice woman. Bowser is my first Conure and he is extremely attached to me. Basically wants my attention 24/7. This is an issue...

Hello, I never thought I would be doing this, but I think I need to rehome at least one of my birds. I just don't know what to do. To say that animals are my passion is an understatement...my love of animals- birds in particular- is part of my soul. I wanted birds since I was a child, and got my...

Hey folks, First time poster here. Would just like to say hello and thanks for coming to my aid. Before you say what I know is coming, let me reassure the community that I understand birds (especially conures) can be very vocal. My concern is not with the noises - it's with the screaming. I...

Hi there!! I have a question whether my conure Sammy is ok... She's been really quiet for 2 days, puffed up and eyes closed. Why do you think this is? Is it normal sometimes? 1. Her poop is ok 2. Her eating habits are fine 3. Her feet are normal temp Those are things I look our for to check...

My new green cheek conure, Charlie, came home about three weeks ago. Thing is, I expected her/him to be scared, and planned to take things slowly (Introduce him to everything slowly.) He was comfortable. Wanted to play, even... I mean, I've visited him frequently before taking him/her home but...

My green cheek somehow managed to find a blue crayon. I haven't found the crayon itself, but she definitey chewed on a blue one because her beak is blue and she smells like crayons. I doubt she actually ate it, but she definitely chewed it. I know crayons are non toxic since they are made for...

I'm bringing a weaned Crimson bellied conure home in a few weeks and am beyond thrilled! He will be joining a 6 month old Jenday - separate cages, but hopefully they will enjoy playtime together. I want to hear any and all stories you may have- good, bad, ugly, fun, cute, cuddly !!

Thank you in advance for answering my questions!! I have a sweetheart Jenday Conure who is 4 months old, and we will be adding a new member to the family- still trying to decide between a Chrimson Bellied or a Caique. I love Conures, just don't appreciate their loud shrills- my Jenday is...

Greetings everyone- I have been losing sleep trying to decide between a Crimson Bellied Conure or a Caique for our family. I have had experience with Parrot ownership having "parented" a Grey, a sun conure, and cockatiels. I currently have a 5 month old Jenday who is an absolute sweetheart. I...

I had a wonderful Fancy Green Cheek Conure. She was 10 months old and have had her about 6 weeks. She had been in two pet stores before we found her. In that time, she has learned to trust us, step up and to mimic my whistles. She responded very quickly to clicker training. We also have an 18...

My conure, Louis, got bitten on his foot by one of my pet rats through his cage. I have no idea how she even got in Louis' room or on top of the dresser where his cage is kept but the only avian vet in my area is closed for the night and won't be in until tomorrow morning for me to get my baby...

I've had my pineapple green cheek, Shado, for over a year now, and soon I'm bringing home a new cinnamon green cheek, Charlotte. She's a baby, so I had to wait for her to be weaned, thankfully, she should be able to come home in a week or so. I've heard some people say to quarantine Charlotte...

Hello, my name is Mikayla and Im a bit of a bird nerd. I've just gotten my first real job and can finally save to adopt a feather baby! I have done gratuitous amounts of research and know that I myself am ready, but I'm not sure my situation is. So I figured I'd ask experienced conure owners to...

Hello everyone! Just have some questions about adding a second birdie to the family :) So currently I have Juno (pearly conure) who is about a year old. She is very friendly, has flight and gets along with our budgies when theyre in the same room. I have hardly any problems with her. Now my...

I'm getting a cinnamon green cheek conure from a pet store that I trust (I got my other green cheek from there over a year ago). She's just a baby, so I've been waiting about 2 months to take her home and soon I can. Today when visiting her, I noticed that the skin around her eyes was slightly...

Hello! Thanks to everyone who has helped me with my gold cap Jade in the past :) We are now getting reading for a cage mate for her. I was wondering if Jade will change at all because of the new bird? How can I get them to share a cage? Will a bird usually accept a new bird in their cage? Is...

I just noticed that my green cheek conure, Shado, has a white spot on the tip of her tongue. It's a pretty good size, like a safflower seed but round. Maybe even a little bigger. She keeps making chewing noises too. She's still eating and drinking and I've been trying to get her to eat veggies...

No idea if anyone has experience with this sort of bird dynamic but its worth a shot! We currently have 2 budgies (paired, in the same cage, and not hand tame) and a conure (lives solo and is hand tame). Since we got the conure last summer she's had a fascination with sitting on the budgies cage...

Hello! Firstly I just wanted to mention that I'm new to this forum and as a family we're new to birds in general! We recently had an encounter with n incredibly friendly young green cheek conure at a pet store and we all fell in love! Our 16 yo daughter in particular! After doing a lot of...

Hello! I've been wanting to purchase a conure for a while, and my family finally decided on a Sun conure. He/she is currently being weaned and should be ready next month (!!!). They are getting shipped from the breeders since they aren't local. I had a few questions, and I figured asking...

Hello everyone! I recently adopted a green cheek conure yesterday at a family-owned bird shop (teamed with with a adoption center) for around $200. The previous owner dropped it off with a cockatiel and did not explain the reason why she was giving it up. The conure was very friendly at the...

Hello, I have a 3 year old green cheek that seems lethargic tonight. He has his feathers ruffled almost constantly. He is still eating and drinking. Wants to be held close and isn't talking as much as normal. All the vets and avian vets around me are closed right now. Is there anything I can do...

Hi! I'm new here because I wanted to look for help... I adopted a 12yr old Green cheek conure called Sammy April 2014. She's sweet and quite quiet. I've attached an image of her left foot. The other foot is normal and pink. But this foot has a couple of red marks... Her behaviour is...

My green cheek conure, Shado, is only 2 years old, and today she was hanging out on top of my door lik she usually does. I didn't see her there though, and I went to close my door and I didn't see what happened, but she panicked and flew across the room onto the floor. She was breathing heavy...

Hello :) My seven month old conure loves to bite everything ( as all bird do xD ) and I'm trying to teach her to not bite my hands. I've heard the fastest way to teach them not to bite is to not get bitten in the first place. They said to distract them with food or toys if they are biting or if...

So, I decided to get another GCC. I already have a pineapple named Shado whom I love very much, but I think we could both use another companion. I don't know if Shado is a boy or girl, unfortunately, I was too cheap to do the DNA test when I got her (I say her) a year ago. She is almost 2 years...

I'm new to owning Conures, and my Cockatiel never did this. I have recently switched my Conure, Avo, to a new food, and I gave him this new toy. The toy has little straw hats on it, and he loves pulling them apart, but I noticed that he's eating the toy! Like- chewing and swallowing the straw...

Hi :) I recently got a 7 month old gold capped conure around 2 weeks ago. When I first brought her home, she got out of her carrier by herself and flew right to the cage door. For the first two days whenever I open the cage door she flies right out and goes on my shoulder but she would never...
