conure

Hello! To get straight to the point, I’m an anxious mess, and worried about taking my birds to the vet soon. Nothing scary at the moment, just have some concerns of Majora’s recent change in behaviour that I want to rule out isn’t caused by pain or illness! I’ve never taken my birds to the vet...

The place I got my sun conure has a pineapple green cheek that I think will make a wonderful addition to our family. Whats the best way to introduce the two after a quarantine. Sun is a male and pineapple a female. How can I house them? Two cages obviously to start but can they merge into one?

Whats the best method yall have found to cleaning conure potty messes? Ive been using grapefruit seed extract cut with water but it feels like I need something harsh for the harder messes

Hello guys! I’m new to owning a conure, I’ve owned birds basically my whole life (cockatiels, lovebirds, budgies) so I have a little bit of understanding with these guys. I just got a 3 month old Green Cheek from a bird store about 3 days ago. He seems pretty good with hands and fingers being...

Hi I have noticed that my 2.5-month old Sun Conure bird has curved fingers. and it cannot properly grip the perches or my finger. Is there a likelihood of those fingers being repaired? I would like to seek advice from experts regarding this matter. Thanks in advance

Hello!! I am kinda new to this forum and to owning a conure. In all honesty I will probably post a lot here given that my knowledge of their behaviour is very weak. We got Cosmo a few weeks ago and he's so wonderful! The whole family loves him. But I went on a 3 day trip a few days ago and my...

This is Charlie's favorite position when playing with his toys. Specifically bells, LOL! He's a grand total of 23 years old as of June 17, 2023

I recently bought a shower perch for my conure. Should he be in there while Im cleaning myself too or is it something thats its just him and im near by? If i can be in there can I use scented soap?

my male conure enjoys sitting on me and recently has gotten very comfortable…. too comfortable. Hes falling asleep! Though its cute I want to make sure im not re-enforcing bad/frowned upon behavior by letting him continue.

Hi all, I have a Pineapple conure and I’ve been training with it for a few days. I think I’ve gone wrong somewhere with the training. It happily comes to my hand but now bites if I don’t give it a treat. How can I undo this behaviour?

Shes been settling in very well! I was very worried at first since it was my first experience owning a bird (ive had pets my whole life, just not birds), but ive done many hours of research and i feel like ive been making tons of progress. Shes now comfortable with me picking her up and doing...

Hello everyone. :) I recently acquired a green cheek conure after not having any birds in my home for the last seven years, since losing my last Conure. It was not something I planned, but there was an instant connection and before I knew it, I was bringing my new friend home. I feel like I’m...

Is this blood feather bad or will it heal on its own. It’s bleeding little by little but it’s not dripping blood. Should I pull it out?

Hello bird people! Ever since we got our GCC home, we've been noticing her being a bit clumsy on her feet. Upon a closer look, we've noticed that her primary digits, the shortest toe of her back toes on each of her feet, seem a bit off. They look a little too short, and the nails on these...

hi! I haven’t posted much on here so if this isn’t the right spot for this please let me know. My conure basil is about 7 years old now and she’s always been a little on the nippy side but never to this extent, In the past two days alone she’s bitten me 20+ times a couple times drawing blood...

Hello everyone, I have a 1 yr and 6months old pineapple conure. It recently has been breathing heavily with its mouth open and tongue moving up and down for no reason the weather is good he has water food everything I’ve had him since he was 40 days old. Could someone please tell me whats...

Hey there. I'm new here--I've lurked for years, but I've got a conure, a cockatiel, a lovebird, a medical degree, and a neurological disease where emotional distress causes me physical pain. I know your birds matter to you, and I know for many of you, you wouldn't want anything to separate you...

I’ve had my conure for maybe two months now. She is on a mix of 60% Zupreem fruit pellets, 40% sunburst seed mix, and she gets random fruits and vegetables everyday depending on what I am eating. I’ve had a cockatiel before and their poops are definitely way easier to maintain than my conure...

He is about 10 months old now. He has been very healthy and lively since he was brought home, and he is still the same now, but he has always had a bad habit of scratching his face with his hands. In the feathering stage, the underside and sides of the two eyes are slightly convex. Compared with...

Hello, yet another new member here! I recently adopted a green cheeked conure, Echo, (unknown gender yet), and am ecstatic with them. They are not yet tame, but are not fearful, and accept bigger treats from my hand. They seem very eager to learn. Their age is somewhere between 6 months and a...

Hi, I got picaso yesterday from his owners who couldnt keep him because they moved, They told me he was a red factor sun conure but I think he is a jenday conure. In the picture it looks more of a dark orange but in person his belly is a dark red, under his wings is a nice red and on his 2...

Ok, so recently I have noticed a change in my Green Cheek Conure's poops. I'm unsure if this is bad or not as this is my first time dealing with an issue like this. I've been researching about bird poop in hopes to find out whether or not he is healthy or not as his poops have gone more watery...

Peach is a lovely and very friendly and funny almost 2 year old Conure. She can fly on demand for pine nuts and loves to just be on your shoulder. My mom and I share her so she isn’t a one person gal. She isn’t a huge fan of my 9 year old son and occasionally bites him for no reason. She...

I cleaned and organized Aristotle’s cage today since I had no school, but I was wondering; what kinda of toys should I get for him? After all, his cage is mainly perches. (Also, I am going to buy him a bigger cage, but for now he is still using the cage that his previous owner gave to me.)...

I was supposed to go tomorrow but out of fear of the babies getting sold, I went today. On my way home a wicked snow storm started, but rest assured, the baby is warm and safe. The store owner told me she thinks my baby is a girl based on her pelvis, so to be safe she will receive plenty of...

Hi there Recently I've really been wanting a bird in my life. I had a lovely cockatiel that I unfortunately had to rehome due to unforeseen circumstances, we suddenly had to move into a house with an unfamiliar person, and I was forced to find a new home for them, as I was still a minor when I...

Hello there. Let me preface this by saying I am trying my damn best right now. I have a conure and a cockatiel, both males, with which the conure is about 8 months old and my cockatiel about 2 or so years (unknown, tbh). They bonded, but I have to keep them separate because my cockatiel will try...

Hello, I guess this thread is a follow up to my last post. My GCC is usually just nippy which doesn't scratch skin or draw blood. But recently he would be mad at me and bite my VERY hard after I leave him in the cage for even just a couple hours. This aggressiveness can last up to 3 days during...

I left my GCC alone all today and just got back. I instantly noticed that one of his smaller tail feathers are curling. I don't know why. I wasn't there at all today but I left him with fresh water and food. Is it stress? I wasn't home at all today so I don't know if he got it stuck and bent it...

My family and I came home from a 4-day vacation last night to find our green cheek of 9 years, Rikki, dead at the bottom of her cage. I called out her name as I entered the house, hoping to hear an ecstatic shriek in response, and instead heard nothing. I went over and she was dead at the bottom...

Hello! I'm very excited to be getting a Conure after wanting one for years :D I've done a ton of research but is there any tips/things I should watch out for as a first time (Conure) owner? The little guy I'm adopting is 4 years old and should be getting him this week :)

I was cuddling with my Conure and he started to fluff up LIKE REALLY BIG. Biggest I've ever seen and he was bopping his head a lot. No food was puked up though. and he kept turning himself over I am wondering if this is something to do with hormones. He hasn't rubbed his butt up against me or...

Hello. So, I have a cockatiel (Artemis) and a conure (Xatu) that are both male. Xatu is about 8 months old, and Artemis is of an unknown age, but around 1-2 years. They get along really well for the most part - grooming and feeding each other even. However, multiple times throughout the day...

Vet told us that my baby has a mild lung infection today :( Vet recommended that we get a humidifier and heat lamp for Navi. Does anyone have any good suggestions on what brand to use? I've read that Puresun Midis by Arcadia are good. I'd prefer one that isn't too expensive (maybe around $100...

Hello!!!!!! Me and my feral little gremlin (affectionate) again <3 I thought I would update you guys on a few things, since you guys have been so helpful to me <3 So!! Firstly, Arrow still isn't really feeling comfortable with me which is understandable..I mean, from my side I'm starting to feel...

Whoah!!! I posted without even introducing myself here, haha, how rude!! Well!!! Lets get started ay? My name is Camille!!! I'm FtM, 24, kind of wayyy too friendly. I LOVE drawing, video games, and fish are one of my main autism “special interests”. You need to know a random fact about fish...

How can I stop my Conure from biting? He gets jealous of every object I hold. I can't wipe up his poop without him come running and biting to the point of bleeding. He does the same when I hold remotes, phones, bottles, etc. I've been told so many different things. Ignore the behavior or say...

Hello!!!! So, I've had birds in the past, but they weren't tame/ lived in an aviary and I didn't really interact with them very much. The aviary was my parents when I was a child, and when I had my last birds, I was very depressed and didn't take the best of care of them admittedly, and ended up...

I bought a bird and was told it was hand-raised, but I highly doubt it. It's terrified of hands. The owner said she hadn't spent much time with it. I thought she meant it recently, but I'm starting to think she didn't spend time with it at all. My first Conure came hand-raised and never was...

My partner and I have had our Quaker parrot Milo for around 8 months now. He was a rehome from a pet store at around 18 months old when we got him, after being surrendered to the pet store. We have recently purchased a green cheek conure at 1 years old. Milo was already reasonably calm and...
