conure

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...

So I just bought what I was told to be a 4 week old sun conure. The breeders had fully weaned ones but they were insane and didn’t even like the breeder let alone me. They also offered the newborn which was irresponsible on their part and my dumbass took it cause I wanted to raise it. I’ve...

Tiagos been making these little grunting noises a LOT lately and im curious of what they mean. Ive tried looking it up but havent been able to find relating to these noises. I attached a video of the noises :)

I was recently relaxing with my conure and she bit my glasses and scratched my face. I don't think she meant anything from it but it spooked me and I got her off quickly. Ever since then she will no longer go onto my hand. She is eating the same and no bad behavior. She will take treats from my...

I know there's a bunch of threads here about this but I still would like some tips for my personal situation. I just got a 3 month old green cheek conure, it's only her second night home so I don't expect this to stop immediately. She's already very attached to me, she spends most of the day...

My baby Tiago is a 7 month pineapple conure! Im not home all of the time and ive been wondering if i should get him a friend. I dont know much of anything about bonding parrots and came to ask about it and what the best kind of age/gender/species would be best for him to bond with.

Hello guys I’ve asked before about my parrot on how aggressive he is and its not changing i might judging too fast cause its been like 4 months since i bought him and i wanna mention that i bought him from an owner not as a baby parrot he was 8-9 months at that time but anyways.. any tips? cause...

whenever tiago wants to have a preening session, he always goes for either my ear or my lip. He knows how to be gentle and doesnt nibble too hard. I know about human saliva supposedly being toxic to birds, but ive heard mixed things. Ive been trying to redirect him from my lips though just in...

in the past few days tiago has become a TON more cuddly and affectionate with me! he’s been very interested with nibbling my face and seems to do it to get my attention :,) Its super cute and i love it so much but it came out of nowhere so im wondering if this is normal parrot behavior. Im...

Ive been working with tiago (6 month old pineapple conure) to come to me on command, especially because he cant fly yet. I want to get him to get it down and understand it so that he comes to me when i need him to when his wing feathers eventually grow back. Hes doing pretty good, but only comes...

I was giving Tiago some kisses when he started making little noises back!! I think theyre super cute but im not sure what they mean. I attached a video of the squeaks :) had to edit down in order for it to fit 🥲

Hi all! I have two 7-8 month half moon conures (male & female) who have shared the same cage, food, water, etc. since early age. They bicker a lot and the male tends to peck at the female lots. Can’t separate them since they’ll lose their minds but not sure how to approach helping them be calmer...

My baby conure has little white pins on the top of his head and im wondering if theyre the ones i should attempt to help him out with. i added some pictures of his head :) (dont mind my messy floor. im wrapping stuff for christmas lol. Tiago is never on the floor!)

I posted something not too long ago asking about my birds biting habits, but now im trying to figure out what my lil guy is trying to accomplish lol! hes a 6 month old pineapple conure named Tiago and whenever i walk into the room he’ll make these super cute and soft squawking noise and whenever...

We bought this seven month old Conure yesterday, we were told she (don’t know if her sex is accurate) was a green cheek, Conure, but we think she’s a mutation. Can anyone help us identify what mutation she is?

Teeko, and the family. wanna wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving! I will be busy the day of. So I probably won't have time to post anything! But less we not forget those who are less fortunate. And, what the meaning of giving and kindness is all about! And that includes our birds as well! I...

Hello All! I have an 8.5yo Green Cheek Conure (Pip) who has within the past few weeks begun overpreening. I've had him for almost a decade and he's never exhibited this behaviour before. He's chewed all the flight feathers off on his left wing, ans all his tail feathers. I can't for the life of...

Leo doing a little dance

Hi everyone, this is my update from the last time I’ve shown Leo he was on all seed diet when I got him now he has converted to pellets and chop he has learned to step up to do target training!! he is doing an excellent job on that!! He’s starting to love baths(misting bottle, bathtime)!! He...

I just recently posted a thing my birds stinky “breath” to which a few people showed concern so I made a vet appointment- he went this morning and she cleared his crop of old food and set him on an antibacterial med well since then it seems like he’s completely changed - he’s quieter; very...

My pineapple green cheek isn’t sleeping the full 12 hours. I’m not doing anything to wake her up but she always wakes up before 12 hours or even 10 hours. What can I do to help her get her sleep

So sad weekend for teeko guys.. I wanna post this for people so they know this can HAPPEN!..and, to make sure you check your cages!! So with that being said.. I came home from work, And I didn't hear Teeko start yelling because... he usually does when he hears the door..so I automatically knew...

This is an incredibly difficult post to make, and it has taken years to come to this decision. I’ve posted in this forum multiple times requesting advice on if I’m the best home for my green cheek conure. I got Bree when I was 14 (currently 19) and I wasn’t able to truly grasp what I was...

My pearly conure (2 years old), has recently had a Behavioral change and I'm a little concerned about it. I need to preface this that I have extremely bad anxiety when it comes to my bird, and even the slightest change ill freak out over, so this might be nothing. 3 days ago I had the day off...

we used to hold my conure, hartley, a lot and then we got a dog so we don’t hold him as much anymore. my older brother was good with him and held him more than anyone else. hartley had a strong bond with him. however, last year, my brother left for uni and for the first while no one held hartley...

I know conures are very respiratory sensitive. But how sensitive? There’s this craft trend that involves papier-mâché. Can I use elmers glue around conures? Or even mod podge? Obviously wouldn’t be up close and personal but still same room?

So it's 8:00pm I'm trying to get Teeko into his cage to get ready for bed, but he refuses because he likes to sit on the top or on his side perch and stay up as late as he can..the moment I dim the lights down he wants to fly off his cage, and fly to my bed, and get on my hand. He will just sit...

Hi everyone, I’m quite new to this site but I thought I’d give it a try. Basically, I’ve had my green conure, Kiwi, for around 4 years. He was given to me when I was 12, and I took the best care of him alongside my mom. I took him out basically every day, but sometimes I would not do it if I...

Just recently (2 weeks ago) I got a 8 week year old gc conure, she was still formula fed for about a week but fully weaned (this was just due to how little she was). She is lovely, very affectionate when she wants to be, but also has her little toddler freak outs when she’s tired and can’t find...

Teeko is a Cinnamon Conure he was adopted from Pet Smart, he actually wasn't planned..lol. (just honesty) My wife and I walked up to Teeko, and it was love at first sight. He wasn't just ordinary..Teeko was special and, we could tell, he was alone, and he loved the attention. He was scraping...

Teeko is a froot loop

I have two conures, a black capped named George (5M) and a green cheeked named Nova (2F). Genders are presumed. The Problem: -Nova is very aggressive. They live in a 7’ tall x 4’ wide x 2’ deep homemade cage. All materials are bird safe and have had zero issues with safety (aside from a light...

Since Teeko and i have joined this site our friendship has grown way stronger. you are all such amazing people. thank you everyone for your help, all the things i have learned is all thanks to you. Sincerely Teeko and Dakota.

Hello! Cosmo the birb again! So I just put him on the table a moment ago and he reached for my finger and as I moved it away he did this hilarious head and body movement. I'm attaching the videos, apologies for my laugh but it was just too funny to me, I've never seen birds do this??? He is...

I have had Teeko my green cheek conure for about 3 weeks now, im learning alot about conures as i go, Teeko is learning alot as well. But i need some help on getting fruit into his tummy. I adopted him from pet smart, and im pretty sure they never gave him fruit or veggies and only seeds...
