What types of flowers, herbs, and grasses are safe for sun conures to eat?

Hi, I bought KEDDY (my first ever parrot) last week, he was 3 weeks old then. Seller told me to feed him 15 ml three times a day. Things went smooth for 5 days, then I thought as he is growing he probably needs more food so I contacted the seller again to confirm and he told me to start giving...

I never really expected my sun conure, Blaze, to be much of a talker. Both my boyfriend and I are quiet people, and the fact that Blaze doesn't scream for hours on end like some horror stories I've heard made me think that she wasn't going to be the most vocal. Not that I minded. I didn't get a...

Hi, I wanted to buy a Sun conure chick but I was thinking of buying two instead of one, not for breeding purposes but so that it doesn't feel lonely. I can devote an hour daily to it (and my sister is also willing to take care of it) but just in case I was thinking if it would be happier if I...

Hello everyone! Pipa, my sun conure and I are newbz here. I got her about a month ago. She hatched on 12/30/13. She is as picky of an eater as her owner is! We hope to learn a lot about conures so that we can have a fantastic life together! :rainbow1::)

My sun conure, Elly, chews absolutely everything! The few times I wasn't watching her like a hawk, she has managed to chew at the wires of my headphones and at the plastic ends of the laces of my hoodie. She has not shown any symptoms of having swallowed any foreign material, but I am still kind...

Last night as I was cuddling with Blaze, I rubbed my thumb over one of her wings and felt something hard. I parted the feathers gently and was shocked to see a bit of blood on her. When I tried to stretch her wing out to get a better look, she instantly pulled it back with a squawk so I was...

My Rocky loves his cage He's such a good boy I have never liked the idea of having a caged bird but I love them aswell so I had the idea that he just stays out So I made him this! He's the happiest birdie now when I take him back to his room he flaps his wings like crazy to get back to it He...

I have my baby boy named rocky :-) he's a cutie Re refuses to sleep in his bed I had him a bird nest box, a tent bed, a bit of soft fabric for him to sleep next to. And nothing he just sleeps on his perch. I'm worried because we will be coming into winter soon and I don't want him to freeze to...

Does anyone know if it is possible to import sun conures into Australia from America??? We do have sun conures here but I really want a red factor sun conure and I am unable to find any here. HELP PLEASE :-)

Hey guys I've got my beautiful boy rocky who is about 8 months old, he's very well behaved and I'm looking to get him a buddy! Im thinking of getting a female conure so down the track they can breed, I am experienced in hand raising birds and I would love to do it down the track again but I...

Hello my fellow farents! When I first joined this forum it was mainly to share my love of these amazing creatures and funny stories but also to seek and give advice. It got a bit lonely sharing my stories with others who do NOT have birds or they have cats/dogs/horses instead. Our ability to...

Ever since I purchased Blaze, she's been an extreme snuggler. She loves laying right on my chest where my hair falls, or she'll climb up onto my shoulder and lean against my neck. It's just the cutest, little thing. However, she does this rapid sniffing (I guess you could call it an avian...

I've had a couple of moments where Blaze has made me nervous. Falls from the top perch, sudden flutters when outside, just little things. However, I had my biggest scare last night. My boyfriend and I were on the couch watching a movie. Blaze was eating a bit before bed like she normally...

Hello! I'm an aviphile owner of a six month old Senegal Parrot, a nine month old Parrotlet, and a three year old Sun Conure. I've hand-fed all my birds, except the Sun Conure, and I hope to hand-feed more little babies in the future! I hope to post, learn, and comment with many of you on...

Love 'em

Ain't she cute?!

Hmm...

My little Blaze is being introduced to fresh fruits and veggies for the first them since I got her. I suspect this may be the first time in her life that she's getting these because she hesitates to try them or refuses to touch them at all. I tried putting some in her food and giving it straight...

my sun conure

Hello everyone of Parrot Forums! I have been poking around for quite some time and finally decided to make an account for myself considering I just got myself a wonderful bird. I found most of the things I needed to know right here. Well, my name is Kaitlyn. I'm a college student majoring in...

My Sun conure, Elly, is almost 5 months old now. I've had her home for a little over a month. She's had her new bird exam at a qualified avian vet office during the first week I had her, which included a basic physical exam and blood tests for diseases like psittacosis, polyomavirus, etc, as...

I got my Sunday conure “Tango” from a male breeder about two days ago, he’s ten weeks old and he’s friendly. He’s currently fallen asleep while I’ve been stroking his stomach or back and sits on my shoulder or accepts treats from me , but he screams when my boyfriend comes into the room (I think...

"I'm gonna sit on the front of the cage and pretend like I wanna come out, so when she opens the door, I'm can turn my head nearly upside down with a bewildered look on my face when she offers her hand and asks me to step up. I'M BRILLIANT!" Oh, Calvin! :orange:

Hello, I recently brought home a 3 month old Sun Conure. It's been a few days and he just doesn't seem to like me. Every time I open the cage to get him out, he runs to the back and away. I have still picked him up and tried to cuddle, but he just wants to get out of my hands. If I don't...

Hi, I am new here! I will be getting a sun conure within the next several weeks. He is still in the process of being weaned, so I have time to make preparations. I am trying to find the largest cage possible while still having the appropriate bar spacing. However, it seems that larger cages...

New sun conure! Help?? Hello, I need some help with my new sun conure. Back story: he was found by some friends of ours, and we went to great lengths to reunite him with his owners. After calling every shelter, posting flyers, looking of Craigslist and calling every avian vet in the area, we...

Hi guys, recently I was offered a newly weaned sun conure with a twisted foot (he's was born that way, but other than that he is completely healthy). At the store, they usually go for 500, but I can have him for 200 because of his foot. I would love another parrot and a sun conure could get...

So after waking up to Lukah falling off his perch last night at 2am with my roommate watching tv and then finding her on the couch this morning tv still on, I've decided Lukah is long overdue for a sleep cage. I'm wondering how I set it up. I have a little cage my grandma gave me that I can put...

I got a Sunburst Conure on the 4th of July. He is already spending 3 to 4 hours a day with me on my shoulder and lap. I just love him! However I notice some sneezing when he is preening or scratching his nose. He sneezes and some discharge will hit my face! But it seems to be clear. Like I...

I know very little about my Sun, Leo, except for that I bought him from a man who inherited him from his grandfather, who was the original owner and a breeder. Leo's said to be about five years old. He is banded, but the man I bought him from didn't have his disease testing or DNA sexing...
