Advise needed for conures

[Akramkhan346]

Hello folks,

I am new to this forum and am also a first-time bird owner. came across this forum while searching for some answers over google. Moving further I have a pair of Conures 42 days old (Fluffy and Coco).

1. Now I am feeding then NutriBird A21 (15 ml - Breakfast and Lunch followed by apple in the evening then 10 ml for dinner) in an interval of 6 hours am I feeding them too much or less? (Fluffy doesn't take a feed once he is done that is a sign that his stomach is full but coco keeps on eating but I stop it at 15 ml).

2. Fluffy is more active compare to the coco. Coco always wants to sleep and take a rest while fluffy wants to play the whole day.

3. They always want to run to the wall and lick the paints - Is that harmful to them I understand it is very harmful to humans so does to them so I keep on controlling but if they get any chance they rush towards the wall. Any solution.

4. At what age cage is recommended for conures.

I have attached some videos that I was able to record since fluffy doesn't like it all if someone is clicking photos or recording he starts behaving weirdly and stops playing.

Thanks
Akram Khan

1. Notice how much they eat in a day. Then give only that amount, maybe a little more, to prevent overeating.

2. Birds have individual personalities most likely Coco is just a mellower and sleepier bird. If she shows signs of sickness, take her to the vet though.

3. I'd keep them away from it. Provide lots of toys for them instead.

4. I don't know about baby birds, sorry...someone else will be able to help you.
They're beautiful birds, by the way

Its time to offer lots of veggies and lettuce like romaine and Swiss chard and spinach , sprouts, as well as offer pellets and seed mix

I gave them veggies it was not a good response though but still, I will keep it continue, but in the evening, they came to the kitchen to look for my wife which is normal practice, and started biting corn.

I tried to give them some fruits last night and they had some.

I have attached photos for all the references if I am doing anything wrong please advise.

Chop looks great!
Id advice you use corn as treats or something to sprinkle over your chop if they like it to lure them to it
Fruits, seeds and nuts should be limited
Seeds and nuts used only for training purposes maybe a treat here and there as well
i give my burd fruits one or twice a week
This is a great thread about diet!

Parrot diet

Parrot diet is one of the most important part when it come to their well-being. Did you know that 30% of unwanted behaviors can be fixed with diet alone? yes, that's true! What should you feed your bird? This varies from specie to specie. African greys need a slightly higher diet in calcium...

Hey (Tikitiel),

Appreciate your valuable advice I will work on it. Also, thanks for sharing the informative thread.

Hi! I'd reccomend moving them to a cage as soon as they start to eat solid food or when they start to fly. As soon as they can fly they need to go to a cage. I moved my tiel pippen to her cage when she was about 4weeks, because that's when she started to fly.
