Lola the Sun Conure & Mimi the Nanday Conure
Hi all~

I've lurked around on the forums for a little while and figured I should make an account, introduce myself and try to contribute to the birdy discussions! : P I'm from Australia and a long time fan of birdies. Grew up with a pair of finches, cockatiels and lorikeets across the years when I was younger which really sparked an interest in birds. Now 22, I currently own a sun and nanday conure, Lola and Mimi. I love 'em lots. : D Almost as much as they love each other! They eat, play, groom and sleep together and share a big cage. Oh, and I would really love to own a macaw one day!

Here is a pic of Lola taken this afternoon;

(hey! get off my 3DS!)

annnnd chilling out together!

(aww, cute sisters!)

Lola is almost 1 year old and Mimi is about 9 months. They unfortunately had to have their wings clipped, but hoping to let them grow out and be fully flighted next molt. Lola is a dainty little thing and acts very shy and sweet, never a feather out of place and is always looking after her "sister" Mimi. Mimi is a total spaz and always tripping over, dropping food, falling off things and running along the hardwood floors after people like an evil chucky doll - but she's a total cuddlebum and loooves to be with you as much as she can, demanding smoochies and scritches.

Anyways, looking forward to getting to know everyone. : )

(I did just sign up for another forum before finding this one... but this one looks much nicer! so I just copy pasted my introduction post, haha!)
 
Thats the first time I have seen a pic of a Nanday Conure up close and she certainly is stunning !

Aw thankyou! Well there's plenty more pics where those came from! Haha. I think she is goregous. : ) I really love nandays, not sure why they aren't as popular as the other conures!
 
Welcome, you made a wise choice (LoL)
Your birds are so beautiful, look like colouring books
Looking forward to hearing all your stories
 
Hey and welcome to the forum. I have a friend who has a Sun and a Nanday. Boy, are those two a handful, they rule the whole house.We love pics/vids so post away.
 
Welcome! What gorgeous birds! I almost got a sun conure before we got Puffin. My cousin is a vet who has always kept birds and he was the first person I spoke to when I decided the time was right to get advice on which would be the best first parrot and he said a sun. But then I saw Puffin lol

Aw thanks! : ) Is Puffin your ekkie? He is goregous, I can imagine how you fell for him instead. I was looking at an ekkie before getting my conures! But then I fell for the crazy baby sun conures my breeder let me play with instead. : ) I bet your ekkie is spoiled! : )
 
Welcome to the forum from Texas.

Hi Bec :)
Always nice to see another Melbournian, even if you prefer Sydney! :p

Beautiful conures you have there!
Haha yay! Well, I grew up there, I've been getting home sick lately. :p (I actually like Melbourne City more then Sydney City though!) I miss the wildlife and views in NSW most. (I SPOSE I kinda miss my friends and family too... haha!)

And thanks, yours is adorable too! I love little greencheeks, they're so cute. I aaaalmost got one, but decided on a sunny instead. I really love the cinnmon and pineapple ones!
