Long-story-short, I had a rescue cockatiel who passed at a ripe old age about 6 years ago. It's been heavy on my heart for a while to have a another feathered companion ♡ I've been looking into conures in particular and I know all the care and commitment that goes into keeping these specific birds.
There is a gal who lives not to far from me who has an assumed male conure (not DNA tested) that she's looking to rehome due to her allergies. The bird is est. 3-4 years old, and the gal got the bird (when he was 1) from a woman who had too many animals. That's all I know on the backround. In the ad she posted she's asking $500 for bird, cage and the food & treats. Or bird & food for $350. The cage itself $150, it's one of those corner cages that have a play area on top (online these cages run about $250) And I know conures from breeders can range from $200-$600 or so.
This is how she describes the bird:
Once settled in and gets comfortable she loves to give kisses and dance and be out of the cage.
But if someone new acts scared she will feed off that and be a butthead to them at first.
I was very firm with her when I rescued her and she’s fine with me now.
Did have a check up when I rescued her.
2.5 years ago. Was 1 yr old at the time.
I don’t clip wings I like for them to free fly.
When I clip her nails I usually wrap her in a blanket and clip them.
She’s not loud often. And with the blanket over the cage she’s rarely makes a noise. She will mock laugh at people when she hears people laughing.
I don’t think she has any bad vices.
Mainly it will be just getting use to you and then she’s fine
She steps up for me and goes to my shoulder no problem
Please let me know what your guy's thoughts are and if this is a good deal $-wise!
