sun conure

OK... All you other conure owners out there.. Has any one else had a similar moment? Sooooo i was at the doctors recently regarding a vaccination I have to have to care for Flying foxes in Australia (I'm a wildlife carer... long story).. Anyway, the doctor asked me if I smoked, specifically if...

The girl I'm dating has 2 beautiful Sun Conure parrots (both male) and she plans on bringing them over. What is the best way for me to greet them and make sure that they like me and that I do not pose a threat etc.? They are very close with her...and very protective. Any advice is appreciated...

Heya! I'm a first time sun conure owner- for a year now, and I've hit this snag with my sunny. I got him when he was about 3 months old, and he was precious. Already tame and what not. He made being a first time Sunny owner easy. I'm a school teacher so during the school year, he got use to me...

Howdy y'all! I'm Wild Child, first time poster, long time lurker. I'm momma to a growing, fiesty, confusing, amusing, likes-to-scream-his-head-off-even-when-I'm-standing-next-to-him little guy called Hunny- he's a sun conure. He's a 1yr and 3 months old, and I swear he's going through his bird...

Hello all, I'm originally from Ireland but moved to QLD Australia in 2003. I have 3 pet parrots (Sun :orange: and GC Conure and galah) and adore birds. I'm the president (and bird coordinator) of a wildlife rescue group, I'm an artist (painter) and musician.. So hello all hopefully this forum...

I have a Sun Conure, Piña. We don’t know her age since we forgot to ask. However, we do know she is young. Anyways, she’s so sweet and I’ve had her for about a month. She’s well trained, will let you feed her, pet her, and hold her. (Reminder: I ONLY pet her on her head. I’ve NEVER touched her...

He’s up to no good as usual!

I am a week away from being able to take home my husbands fiery shouldered conure, Rio, and have bought a prevue playtop cage that is 24"x24"x60" In June, my sun conure will be ready to come home 😄 so I will need to be prepared to house the birds separately. Before I did any research on this, I...

I’ve been considering getting a Nanday for awhile, and recently went with my daughter to see a baby at a store about an hour away where I previously got my GCC. The owners keep their babies inaccessible to the public because of a few incidents where people have touched without asking, so I...

So I've always wanted a sun conure just been waiting for the right time to get a bird. I recently went and looked at some and seen a blue throated conure and fell in love. I am curious is there is any real big differences in peoples experience between the two besides the colour of them? I do...

Hey guys, My name is Jess and I got my baby Sun Conure, Sammy, about a week ago. I've done a lot of research on this little guy, and I would like to make sure I'm on the right track so I can give him the best upbringing I can. Sammy is 9 weeks old and hand fed with formula. I have started...

When my sun is on my shoulder he starts to flick his right wing and bob his head, only the right wing and only while on my shoulder, not in the cage or anywhere else. Should I be worried?

I just bought a sun conure about a week ago and he/she is six months old, he seems really friendly, will eat out of my hand, likes to sit on my shoulder and flies to me when I open his cage. If I try to pet him or touch him though he walks away from my hand. When he is on my shoulder sometimes...

Hi everyone, I own a 9 week old sun conure named Sammy. I thought it would be a good idea to join because I love to learn all about conures. I'm so excited to see him grow and learn, he has so much personality already!

Hey guys I am thinking about buying Sun Conure to my home. But Im student so im not home atleast 8 hours a day. I can buy anything for that bird that would help him survive without me. Is it a problem for him to be alone 8 hours a day 5 days a week? thanks for answers :) :orange::orange:

Hello everyone! I recently took Tango, my sun conure, with me to a local market that is held in the small parking lot of my sister’s school every Sunday. Tango loves walks and he had his aviator harness on but I had people rushing up to me to get a look at him. It scared him a few times and...

Hello everyone, it is nice to finally join a community with so many bird lovers. Talking about birds I need some help with mine. I have recently adopted a baby sun conure, he is about 5 1/2 months old. My friend had to move away and I took Tango the sun conure into my life because he had...

So a lot just happened. So i was just making dinner, when i heard peachy screaming. They seemed more desperate than usual so i went to check it out. As i turned the corner, i saw her. She was swinging around WITH HER NECK STUCK IN A TOY. She was thrashing around so much that when i went to...

I recently had a heartbreak with my GCC & over the weekend (3 days ago) I came home to the surprise of a Sun Conure from my wonderful boyfriend.. He's absolutely gorgeous and a love bug but I am having some trouble naming him. My Green Cheek was named Phoenix and I keep just wanting to call...

Hi all, Two days ago I got a new sun conure, (6 mo. old) and noticed yesterday he was puffed up and falling asleep on his perch. I am sure he is stressed from travels- store, to car, to new house, cage, people, hands, voices, etc. I don't think he slept much the first night at all...

I have a 8 month old sun conure, I’ve had him for 5 months now and although he’s been loud at times it hasn’t ever been a problem because I had a ton of time to spend with him, as I just graduated in June and when he’s with me he’s completely quiet. I have just gotten a job and my parents have...

Hey, my sun conure is about 6-7 months old and still seems to be handfeeding. My sun conure now eats less of the formula but still likes it. I think my bird eats somewhere near 10cc and i called the pet store and they said stop feeding them when they don’t eat anymore of the formula but ITS BEEN...

About a month ago, I was scratching pin feathers for my sun conure and I noticed a bloody one on her neck. It was bothering her so I looked it up online and assumed it was a broken pin feather so I pulled it out for her. I was worried she was bleeding but when I checked the spot 10 minutes later...

Currently, I own 1 bird, my sun conure. I really want to get another bird but I don't know if I should mainly because I don't want to make Sunny feel like I don't love him? (does that happen??) I still live at home so it all depends on how my parents think about me getting another bird, but if...

Bump near birds eye This morning I got my Sun Conure out of his cage and noticed a small bump next to his left eye. It was very small and looked like it could be a small bug bite. He isn't acting any differently and seems fine, but I'm still worried. Any ideas on what it could be?

I'm getting a second Sun Conure and I saw this little baby girl conure and I wasn't sure if she's a red factor baby or if she's a Jenday Conure and Sun conure mix. I wasn't sure on getting her either since I have a male Sun Conure and I don't plan on breeding them together. But I'd still like to...

Hey everyone! First day here and already have a question. I have a 8 month old Sun Conure (2nd Aug 2016 - DOB), his name is Sid (From ice age) and he is amazing. Now moving onto my question he never liked pellets nor seeds (only canary seeds and those ear of wheat idk what they called long...

Hi, We found a featherless patch on our sun conure's back (behind the wings) full of blood. It seems he has been plucking but we have not seen him doing it or feathers. We took him to the ER when we saw it and they tested his blood and saliva and did not find anything, said it could be...

Hi, I live near the Schaumburg area in Illinois and I need to find a new loving home for my super sweet and cuddly Sun Conure, Mochi. I say he's a male, but I am not positive. An irresponsible breeder sold him to me at 5 weeks old. He will be 4 in July. He has been hand fed and raised by...

Hi everyone, BroncoJ here and I am a new owner of a sun conure. I have owned 4 tiels before but haven't owned a bird since and it's been about 8 years. Anyways I got this little guy from Petco. Gonna be honest I hated seeing him in a cage for 2 months and had to bring him home. He is very timid...

I've been doing lots of reasearch about adding another flock member (as usual ;) ), and I think I've seen every youtube, website, blog post etc about adding another bird! One question still remains... Male or Female? Ruby personally dislikes both but shows slight leniency towards various...

This lil guy is chock full of personality, sassy as he can be and ready to play and go a round with me anytime'nn

Hello! I adopted Kiwi, a sun conure, in early summer from a woman on craigslist who pretty much just wanted to get rid of him. She gave me him, his setup, a few toys, perches, bird bath, etc, for much less than the usual price of the bird. She said he was cage aggressive, but when I was there...

Hello fellow bird keepers I'm a new member from Los Angeles CA . I have kept Budgies in my house for the first 20 years of my life in pairs, I've hand fed the baby birds and I've also let nature take it course by letting the parents do all the work . That's just my history with birds I've...

This is my first time posting on the forum, so i apologize if I make any mistakes! I just brought home a baby sun conure (hatched mid-June) from a breeder a couple days ago, and she still needs to be hand-fed formula 3 times a day. The breeder showed me how to do it, but I'm still over-the-top...

Blaze is my (nearly) 3-year old Sun Conure. I'd like to help him get more used to people so I hope someone will be able to help me out. Let me give a little backstory to make things clearer. When I first got him, his wings had been clipped so I wasn't worried about him flying away from me and...

Lately, I have been thinking about getting another bird. A cockatoo, actually! I've done lots (I tell you lots) of research on this bird as a pet. It won't be for a while (around feb next year) but I was wondering what effect a new bird would have on my Sun Conure? She's bonded to me, and hasn't...
