Hello!
I was super excited today when I checked on a cage that has three conures in it to find out one of the females laid an egg (hopefully the first of several)!
The cage has 2 females and 1 male (the male is the brother of one of the two females in the cage). The female that is not his...
Finally got around to setting up a little play area for my favorite girl!! Gives her something to do while weāre in my room besides trying to eat my phone and my fingers š Iāll expand on it more over time! Everything is attached with Velcro and reinforced with small finishing nails
Iāve got two jenday conures, can someone give me exact diets for them so they can stay healthy that includes seeds? Along with timing? I usually just leave a tray full of seeds , nuts and dried fruits in their cage whenever theyāre hungry and they eat it.
Hi, my names katy and Iāve been thinking about getting a bird but I need some help on which one to get?
Iāve already done a couple years of research and am well aware that birds arenāt as what is seen online though they do have their moments. I know they bite and get hormonal and that you need...
Hi everyone! I am a new parrot parent and we just brought home our 4-month-old GCC Bruno 3 days ago. The breeder went ahead and sent him home with us because he is "just about weaned" and he drip-fed well for me when I visited him there. Right now I am offering him feedings twice a day and he is...
Hello! I have a 12 year old sun conure named Sunny(original i know), yesterday I noticed he looked like he wanted to get something out of his mouth, which lead to me checking out his crop, it feels very hard, so I believe it may be impacted, it might also be that heās swallowed some fibre from...
Iāve got two jenday conures, and Iāve caught them multiple times locking beaks and moving up and down. Iām pretty sure itās āfeedingā but Iām unsure on what it means. What should I prepare for !?
Hello everyone!
I'm new here but I am hoping I can get some insight from the wonderful bird owners here :) I am trying to get some second opinions on the weight of my GCC to see if she really is at a healthy weight. Her vet told me at our last visit in July 2021 that she needed to lose weight...
Hi everyone,
So I met a woman who had a sun conure about 4 years old. A few years earlier she found it at someone's house in a small cage on top of a giant snake cage. The owners would flick its beak and such things. She brought Mango (conure) home. She did the best she could with her and she...
I have a GCC that is about to turn 1.
I'm away from the house a lot for school and I'm scared he's getting lonely.
Should I wait another year or so or just try now?
And, what type of bird should I adopt, if I do get another?
My bird had a bad experience with the harness and I really want him to get used to it. He runs away from even the sight of it! I have it dangling on a perch by his cage but it doesn't seem to be working.
Help!
I have a limit of 98$ to spend on bird things (Yes, I have to make myself a limit) in this month.
So, I can either spend it all now on a new air purifier or borrow one from a friend, and still have money for toys.
Now, I know that sounds dumb because I can just take it from my friend, but...
Recently my 8 month old pearly conure has begun to chirp and vocalize after i put him to bed, i cover his cage, turn off the light and go to a different room until he wakes up the next morning, im worried hes not getting enough sleep, what can i do to fix this behaviour? I was thinking of...
My Pearly Conure (8 months) Jumped off the side of his cage today, and started to flap his wings trying to fly (When I got him from the pet store his wings were already clipped) hes done this a couple times before and he usually just slowly falls to the ground, steps up on my finger and just...

about an hour ago i noticed one of my conures nails looks brown. he is 3 years old (4 in march). never had nails trimmed. what could this mean, does he need to see the vet asap? he is being his normal self, and ive never had any concerns about him previously
UPDATE: just saw in an older photo...
This is my first ever bird. There's this yellow stuff between my green cheeks cere and beak, someone please tell me if this a disease or something or if this is normal in parrots
Hi all,
Iām new to this forum and am really hoping to hear peoples experience who had something similar happen to their bird baby. My green cheek conure, Chip, seems to be favoring one foot, just noticed this morning he was fine last night. He is holding his right foot up a lot and doesnāt hold...
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if my conure is scared of the dark. He used to be okay to where the dark didnāt bother him but as he became more bonded to me, when I cover his cage for night time or turn off lights he starts to screech and panic. I was wondering if others have experiences with this...
Hello I recently bought a Nanday conure from a bird shop my mom bought it and she told me about the place it seemed sketchy. They said they had a warehouse where they breed birds. They didnāt give her any paper that indicates the bird was healthy nor did they give us his hatch date. They said...
so I recently got a cinnamon green cheek and he is the sweetest thing ever and happens to be really vocal. however, I have noticed that lately when he is sleeping on my shoulder he sometimes makes a small wheezing sound. I'm not sure if this is normal or if he's talking to himself in his sleep...
As newish bird owners we thought we would reach out to the masses and learn from your trial and error over the years! What is the best cleaning/ mess remediation tips and tricks you have come up with?
I didn't know this before today but conures aren't supposed to make dander. I was looking up something that might help him alleviate his flakes and found out they're famously non-dander producers.
I tried looking up what could make him and all I got were results for, "Conures don't." Thanks...
A couple of days ago my landlord removed some rats from my attic. I know it's not unusual for rat mites to leave their host and search for a new one when the rats pass. I think I'm just being paranoid, and Juliets' not acting any different than usual, bit I'm curious of anyone has ever heard of...
Hello everyone, I'm new here and and first time pet owner.
12 days ago I decided to get a GCC, I've been meaning to get a bird for about a year now but after barely surviving a very bad case of covid, I decided to do so as soon as I am healed and capable. I've been stalking birds ads for a...
