sun conure

Hey guys, I have a question about weaning. Now I have a 54 day old sun conure and he has 2 formula feedings a day and I put some chop and pellets in his cage which he sometimes eats but not a lot (And of course a water dish). When I feed him in the morning he isn't really asking for the formula...

I’m looking for a Sun Conure who is in need of a new perch. I’m in Washington State. I have several tiels, a bunch of budgies(they got their own flight cage), and a GCC. Most of my big guys are free flighted and rule the living room. I have two tiels that were rescues, and who ever had them...

My sun conure is about 50 days old. I brought it when it was around 30 days. I use the Nutribird A21 formula to handfeed. As you can see it has grown up quite well. But it is now unwilling to take the formula. Moreover, it cannot self feed yet. What can I do to make things better? The first...

Just about an hour ago, I heard an incessant loud calling outside my apartment, I decided to take a look and true enough, it was a bird. A Sun Conure to be precise. It looked ragged and scared. I gave it some food, which it readily accepted. The bird is clearly very tame and now refuses to leave...

I am from the Philippines and i have been breeding Sun Conures for a year now to be exact. This is my month old conure which came out differently from his siblings.

Hello all. I'm looking to rehome an 8 year old sun conure in Arizona, preferably in Maricopa county but anywhere works. Loki is an incredibly sweet bird once he trusts you. No behavioural problems. I hate to have to rehome him, but I'm moving into a dorm (uni student) and no one in my house...

Hey all, Never been here as not historically a parrot owner. But recently I moved in with my girlfriend who has a Sun Conure back in April. He was totally fine and friendly with me for the majority of the last few months, would sit on my shoulder, step up and enthusiastically take treats hand...

this is gonna be a long post but I've been needing some help on this issue. Beforehand I would like to say that if this isn't informative enough, I wrote my specific observations with environment and my bird on paper for my vet to see. if anyone is interested in reading that, I will scan it and...

Hi everyone! First post here. My 2 year old sun conure, Zazu seems a bit puffy these days. On top of that she does seem to be shaking/quivering a bit like she’s cold but my apartment is a good temp. She stayed overnight and had blood work at the avian vet this past weekend. Everything came...

Hello fellow Parroters ( if there is such a word ), [english is not my first language] I am new to the parrot world and it is my first experience ever with these beautiful creatures, i am from Bahrain most known for its Formula 1 circuit and passion for motorsport, I never thought before...

Hello everyone! I’ve had my sun conure for a bit of time now and she’s now fully tame. It is currently winter where I live so I thought I’d buy the EZ harness and start training her so that when the warmer weather comes back, I can take her out with me. My question is how long does it typically...

So Isla is my beautiful conure! i was told she’s a sun conure but i’ve had a lot of mix messages from people to what she is. i’ve been told she might be a sunday but then others say jenday or sun. She’s 4 months old now. it’s so hard to tell since she’s still young. Any ideas?

Hello! I have a couple of questions regarding my sun conure. Here’s a little back story: I got him from petsmart (I caved, I know it’s not the best place to get a bird) about six months ago. My guess was that he was around seven months when I got him. Not sure about that though. Anyway, he’s...

Hi everyone! Quick question - my sun conure has gotten a broken blood feather the bleeding has stopped but this is the second time in a month. The first time the blood feather came out, bleeding stopped, and everything was fine. This time we got the bleeding to stop and everything seems ok but...

My 5 yr old sun conure, Mojo, always wants my undivided attention. With other people that she likes, she is mostly content to just cuddle or sit with them and groom herself. But whenever I have her out of her cage, she always wants me to be actively scratching/petting her, taking her outside...

Hi everyone, so I have this recently adopted Sun Conure Mango. He was one of my class mates and I asked to take him in because they thought he was to loud. When he came home I saw in his cage there was no toys whatsoever so I instantly ordered them (most likely the reason he is loud). He liked...

Hello everyone! I am new to the group and I am very excited to learn from you all. My husband and my children purchased a Sun Conure for me as an early Mother's Day gift. About 6 years ago I had gotten a Sun Conure and it was stolen from our lanai. I was heartbroken for years and they knew I...

Hi all! So, I’ve been thinking of getting a sun conure, which has to stay outside year-round. During the warmer months, this is no problem because I have a nice shaded spot for the hot days. I also will be free flight training outside in a netted area to begin with. My family and I spend a lot...

Hey guys!! About two days ago I purchased a 7-8 week old sun conure. Very cute but he’s not really playful yet...he’s mostly sleeping all of the time or sitting on my shoulder doing nothing. My bird is always sleeping is this normal? The bird also never really eats himself, he tries to but...

I recently picked up my three month old sun conure. I was told they were done with hand feeding and eat on their own. I forgot to ask if the people started my bird on pellets or seeds. Tata (sun conure I’m taking about) enjoys the chopped veggies I gave them but doesn’t touch the pellets. I...

My bf has a sun conure (named Pedro) that lives at his parents house and is VERY VERY attached to his dad. His dad let Pedro do WHATEVER he wants and even takes Pedro outside with NO LEASH. But for the past couple of months Pedro has gotten aggressive. Pedro will bite anyone that isn’t my bf or...

I’m not quite sure what Sonny’s squawking means. Can anybody help me out? :confused: sonny squaking - YouTube

Hello, I have two Sun Conures one is named Sonny they have been bobbing their head up and down for the past two days. They also flap their wings out of nowhere really quickly. I’m not sure how old they are because we kind of rescued them. I’m worried that they’re sick and I’m not sure what to...

My sun conure is almost 2 and has recently started to pet himself out of the blue. Could he be sick or is this normal behavior? I would take him to the pet but he isn't friendly and we want to avoid him being stressed out. Thanks.

Hello there everyone!:orange: My name is Molly. I have an 8 year old Sun Conure named Mango. I got her as a hatchling and she's my best feather friend. My husband and I also have 2 dogs and fishies. I have a pit mix named Meekah and a husky mix named Luna. Some fish have names. We have a fire...

Hello I just got a 6 week old sun conure form a breeder, he explained how to hand feed him and everything. When j was feeding him yesterday he shook his head and some of the Formula when into his nose I quickly wiped it off, however there’s still some in his nostril and is a hard. I don’t want...

My Sun Conure named Putter is 19. He looks great. Behaves as he always has. He had not been to the vet for many years. I figured wing clipping and a look over we'd be good to go. The vet said, 19, wow that's old for a Sun. Really, when I got him as a baby his feathers all green, no bright colors...

Hello everybody!! My name is Anna and I am an art student with a two-and-a-half-year-old Sun Conure named Oster. I think birds are super fascinating and I love learning about them! Oster is very sassy but also extremely sweet. He loves papaya! I hope to learn more about birds and learn how...

Just generally speaking, of course. I've heard the gold capped are more mellow. I'm looking for a cuddly Velcro bird ideally (I know you get what you get 😉). I currently have a grey. Does anybody know if there are many differences? Thank you:orange:

Hello all, I am very concerned for my sun conure Papaya, he is four months and since last night he has been doing this weird aggressive head bob as if he is trying to throw up. I am not sure what to do as I read head bobbing is normal but it looks so uncomfortable. Here is a video of him doing...

I've been reading the differences between male and female Sun Conures and would like to try and guess your DNA sexed Sun Conures. The pictures must be very clear, the bird should be standing regularly, and include the whole body. I've attached a picture as reference.

Hi Everyone, My partner and I are in the process of buying a townhouse (small complex of 4, Australia) and I'm thinking this is the perfect opportunity to finally purchase a feathered friend. When I was young I used to keep canaries so know a bit about bird care (little me would always scrub...

Hi, I just received a sun conure a week ago. The breeder said my sun conure is about 2 months olds and i just wondering is the 2 months old is enough to teach him a solid food? And can my sun being placed in a cage or what? :orange:

Hello all, I’m getting a new Sun Conure next week. I bought him a big aviary for a cage so he’ll have plenty of room to exercise and be happy. I wanted to get everything ready for him before so I’m not fumbling around his cage during the first few days he’s getting adjusted. So this is my first...

I thought I would share the story of my experiences adopting, living with, and caring for, my first bird - Chicken. 1. The Research, and Deciding :orange: I thought long and hard about teh decision to adopt a bird. I spent weeks pouring over article after article, reading a few books I was...

Heya! You can call me Onion, and I'm still a relative newbie at parronting. I adopted my first parrot, my beloved Sun Conure named 'Chicken' from a rescue called PAEP, some ~3 years ago. Sadly, Chicken passed away just this last August. He was an older bird with, as I am coming to learn, some...

So I'm considering getting a space heater, and of course as every good parrot/bird owner knows, teflon is dangerous as is off gassing of any kind. So I was was considering this space heater Patton PUH680-N-U Milk-House Utility Heater That's the name of it. I'm purchasing it off Amazon. There...

Hello all and thanks in advance for any replies. I used to have some finches and a canary but that was a decade or so ago. I have been researching different pet birds and interacting with them at bird stores for about a year. I fell in love with sun conures and my family and I decided that was...
