sun conure

Hello! I've been wanting to purchase a conure for a while, and my family finally decided on a Sun conure. He/she is currently being weaned and should be ready next month (!!!). They are getting shipped from the breeders since they aren't local. I had a few questions, and I figured asking...

Hi everyone. I have been considering adding a sun conure to the family, moreso as my own pet rather than a true family pet (my mum is nervous around birds), and I wanted to get some advice from some experienced bird owners. As I have been told many times that sun conures are noisy, I...

Hi everyone. I live in Australia and am considering getting a sun conure as a new addition to my family and as my own pet. :orange: I used to have canaries and budgies when I was small, and now I'm much much older I am looking forward to having a lifelong parrot friend and learning more about...

Hi everyone. As the title suggests, I am considering getting a sun conure to add to the family primarily as my own personal pet (mum is a bit skittish around birds). I have been down at my local bird shop (I'm in Australia) quite a lot asking questions but I wanted to get some more insight...

I have a 5 year old Sun Conure that I got a few months ago from someone that wanted to get rid of her. The Guy that I got her from said that she's really sweet, but they were wanting to get rid of her because she started attacking his wife. They also never clipped her wings and let her fly...

Hey everyone my name is Lola, I am a five month old sun conure. I am beautiful, well at least that what my daddy is always telling me:) I have a few questions though, I was bought to my new home on December 2nd, and my dad has cared for me so much, he is always reading these forums and...

Hello, I am looking for a young male red factor sun conure. Not too many breeders in my area. Does anyone have connections?

I recently got a 3 year old sun conure. I'm guessing his past owners didn't treat him as well as they should, but he bites really hard when I go to take him out of the cage. Once I get him out (with 5 layers of socks on each hand) he is really nice and rarely bites. Any tips to stop biting?

Hi everyone. I have a female sun conure that is 9 months old. I recently got another sun conure that is probably a boy and is 3 years old. I want to house them in separate cages in the same room. Is that a good idea? I don't want to affect the 9 month old conures behavior though. Please tell me...

So I'm a new bird mom to a sweet 9 month old Sun Conure. (We've had him 3 months) He's an absolute cuddly sweetheart and me and my boyfriend love our little screaming mango. The only thing I'm worried about is the personality change when he hits maturity. I was wondering if a companion would...

I work at PetSmart and while talking to one of our dog food reps about the little pineapple GCC we have in store (who has drawn blood with me multiple times now), she told me that a different PetSmart up the street has a sun conure named Lenny that was sold to a family but returned a week later...

Hello all! Any advice is much needed. So I've had my first bird for 2 months now (a sun conure named Lola who is 4 months old) and she is just lovelyl! We are bonding wonderfully, she is a cuddly, sweet hand raised baby bird from a good breeder. She loves me and my boyfriend and has met and...

I would liike to solicit the advice of the experienced target trainers on this forum regarding a potentially challenging bird. I am in the process of finding a bird to adopt from a local rescue. One particular bird that I am interested in is a 10 year old Sun Conure named Jack. He is a very...

Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions about my 1.5 year old sun conure. She screams for me when she can't see me, and when I finally hold her, she goes up to my ear and pulls on the lobe a few times. She does this every morning. Is this good or bad behavior? When she chooses to get...

I have a couple of completely novice questions, so I'm hoping some of you can educate me! I have a 7 year old parakeet that has been on pellets most of her life. I'm slowly introducing her to fresh foods - she's loving greens and peas, but not much else yet. We're also bringing home a baby sun...

So my mother informed me today she reserved a sun conure little one for me. A local family owned shop has 3 babies that are being hand fed by them, they have been hand raising birds for years, in hopes that I can start an early bond with it, then hopefully, after DNA sex test, possibly become...

I knew this time was coming, and oh boy, I wish it would just skip on by. Blaze (who will be 2 years old in July) has started to get a little bratty, which is kind of an understatement. I assume this is because of his hormones kicking in. Recently, he's been attempting to "hump" (for lack of a...

My conure Lexi got herself hung by her leg band and it caused it to bruise all up and swell very badly. We took her to the vet worried that the leg band could do further damage and wanted it looked at. He cut it off and immediately it got 100x worse! She started to completely stop using it and...

Pipa is now a year and 3 months old, and she is doing good so far. She has a temper, and bites all the time, ignoring all her toys and going for the fingers instead, but that's another topic for another time. She's also started to put her butt on my hands, even face, which I obviously stop...

Hello everyone, again! Pipa has just gotten done with her second molt. She was attitude-y but she was the same way during her first molt, so I knew what to expect. A week or so after that, which was about 3 days later, she started becoming VERY nippy. This was accompanied with "I want...

Hello everyone, Pipa tends to get too excited when she's allowed out of her cage, so she trips and tramples over herself, which sometimes means she lands on her beak. She's never had any injury or any bleeding. I came home from being out 3-4 hours, and just noticed she has what looks like a...

Hi. My partner and I have a baby sun conure. He is almost one. We got him because out 18 month old Green Cheeck sadly died. When we got Fred, our sunny, he chose me and from then on has been my bird. He still loves his daddy but is very much a mummys boy. My partner really wants another green...

Hello all! Pipa is now 1 year and almost a month old, and she is doing just fine. She looooves walnuts and grapes, and still refuses to eat veggies :mad: Anyway, she likes to sit on the area between my shoulder and my chest, kind of underneath my chin, but off to the side. She will just chill...

Here she is, on her hatch day!

Here she is, on her hatch day!

Hello! I am on the move for another feathered friend. I currently have a male sun conure rocky he is about 2 he is adorable & very well behaved I am considering getting a Quaker as a second bird. Q1 does anyone have these birds in the same cage? Q2 am I best off getting a male or female Quaker...

Hi, My partner and i have a 1 yo Sun Conure that we got as a handraised baby. When we first got her home, we left her in the cage for the first week or so to get comfortable. Once she was ready to come out by herself we would have her sit with us and play with some foot toys, as well as...

My name is Kristin, I'm new to this forum. I don't currently have a bird but I am looking to get a Sun Conure within the next few months. :orange: I am so in love with them. Just trying to decide to get it before I move or after, I live in an apartment now and don't want the noise to possibly...

So here is the situation. My sun conure, Elly, is almost 1 1/2 years old. I've had her since she was 3 months old, and we have developed a very strong bond. I love her very much, but my dad has expressed concern over how much time she is taking up in my life. I'm currently in college going...

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but my 11 month old conure, Pipa, went from being okay with my friends coming over (not even trying to pet her or interact with her) to puffing up, biting enough to draw blood from my lip, my neck and my ear, and actively trying to attack them. I...

Who knew birds could be headbangers! Chopper needed some shoulder time and discovered 80s punk rock

Hey guys Need some new ideas of how to keep my SC busy during the day why I'm at work. I buy him toys but he shreds them within an hour and if he can shred them he stops playing with them within a day. I've got a few foraging toys that I have made but he's still getting the drift of that:orange:

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything about Blaze, but it seems I now have my hands full now that he (I now speculate) has finally settled in 100%. He's so active and wants to get into everything just like a child. Ever since we celebrated his hatch day, which was July 14th, I...

Just brought the new Sun Conure recruits home last night! About 2 weeks old (Could be mistaken, as I've never had baby Sun Conures in the past. These guys are so adorable :D It's been a while since I hand fed (Used to be my profession) But its like riding a bicycle it seems, came back...

My hubs and I have a two year old Sun Conure, Skittles. We are planning to drive to W.VA to visit my grandparents from Houston, TX for Christmas this year. We will NOT board her, I cannot begin to fathom leaving her with someone she doesn't know for nearly two weeks. We are planning on bringing...

hi everyone!jollie my sun conure is about 1 year+ and i've had her since she was about 4 months old. so far she has only allowed me to touch her on the beak, its impossible to touch her anywhere else and really i don't mind. i understand that not all are cuddly. But recently, she has started...

Hello everyone, I just took Pipa to the vet and everything was great. But today I came home from work and my mom (her day baby sitter) mentioned she was more calm than usual. I too have noticed she's been more calm, and was just glad that her molting crankiness was done and over with. However...

My friend who is pretty handy with one of those huge cameras came over to take some pics of the fids and they turned out quite well!! so i thought i'd share em here:D they were bought about 3 weeks apart and get along quite well! except for occasional squabbles that are unavoidable...

Hello there, I'm a new user and looking for help! I recently got a sun conure from a owner that had recently gotten it from someone else. The conure was bought from the first owner as baby but never taken out not got any attention.. The owner i recently bought him from never took him out...
