New conures

[PyroParrot]

I can’t believe i only now saw this thread!!! Killing me with cuteness!!!
Agree that the birds pick you. I bought my sun on a total impulse because when my hubby and i walked up to her cage, he/she was to completely engaging I couldn’t stand it! I fell in love in 2 seconds flat. Currently have a slightly damp sunny snuggled inside my shirt for the post bath nap

Ever see your sun and your GCC just cuddling on a perch and go "omg that's so adorable" then they react and stop......worst feeling in the world.....

This has been my life in the past 36 hours Oh CUTE *stops all movement*

I got some more but they aren't content to just sit anymore....they want to explore so my hands are full on both flanks.....

Ok I got a second I just did some recall training from about 5 feet away and now they have a treat stick to share.

Both flocks insist on going to each others cages when they owners are out of them.....Yes I currently have 2 flocks. The baby cage with the two conures and the two flightless budgies, (which now have no problem being handled when they need to escape. And are elated to no longer being picked on.) And the original four flighted budgies and Scuti.

But I am seeing change. As I said before the two clipped budgies (that I didn't clip!) are in high heaven as the babies are absolutely not aggressive. The Scuti flock has even stopped picking on them as they seem to interpret well they are under the protection of the conures.

It's funny they keep invading each others cages for food though since..... THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TYPE AND NUMBER OF DISHES TREATS AND FOOD!

Last night was some scuti on GCC aggresion (which didn't go well for Scuti) but none tonight. Even even turned my back a few times.



EDIT: I think Scuti might win here...but has so many flashbacks to Clark that as soon ass the GCC says you're being to rough Scuti just bolts.

I have some more pics but i'll upload tomorrow.

The flocks are starting to coalesce.

So strawberries definitely the training treat. 10/10 Apples 8/10 broccoli 6/10 cauliflower 5/10 carrots 4/10. Haven't tried sweet peppers yet.

Also the GCC [OF COURSE] is getting ideas in his/her head like "you know I should be in charge of this flock" so I had to do the time out maneuver 3 times, once for me once for the sun and once for Scuti. After that things settled down.

The sun meanwhile is like "guess what!" I learned a new trick if I just sit on the shoulder and lean into the neck I gets super warm and happy. Instead of running all over the place like a crazy person.

sorry not so many pictures but they hit the exploring phase and once they do something cute 3 seconds later they are off on something else.....it's literally like "herding cats" but worse.....In the future I will not recommend two babies at once. Methinks. If taking care or a baby parrot is hard taking care of to is somehow tenfold.....

 

[Laurasea]

But these two babies were meant to come together! Twins! Whst if you had only gotten the cinnamon and left that sweet Sun behind! Gasp! That sun loves you! As well as loving little baby cinnamon

Any new pics of the conure babies? How are they doing?

I have to agree with you. I couldn't of taken on 2, or more baby parrots at one time. Not because I don't want to but, because I don't have the experience of others on here.

need updates! Especially pictures!
How's the flock?
