I'm always amazed/humbled when I stumble across yet another bird that I hadn't heard of before. A rescue near me has an Aztec Conure available for adoption. I have never heard of them before. He's definitely a cutie. Just curious- does anyone here have one? What are they like?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. :) I hadn't heard of them either. There's one up for adoption if anyone is close to Western PA!

@CookieBird2014 has an Aztec, and she did join this forum briefly after getting her Cookie, but she didn't stay for long. She included pictures of him, too! I believe she's more active elsewhere.

As tempting as he is, sadly no. Although I still have periodic doubts, I think my fiancé and I have decided that at this point in time we'd only take in an older tiel in need of a home. We're really not sure how Sunny will take to another bird since he has lived as a solo bird for almost 18 years and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be happy with sharing me. (Although I do sometimes wonder if I'm wrong......) But he is older and doesn't take to stress well- with his lowered immunity, which the vet thinks is age- related, it doesn't take much for him to get sick and with his stroke a few months ago, I don't want to change his routine too much. He pretty much has full run of the house and if we got a bird other than a tiel, I would be nervous about having them out unsupervised. And since Sunny unfortunately spent most of his life in his cage before us I don't want to have to start putting him in more because of another bird. Sorry- that was a long answer to your question. I guess sometimes I have to reaffirm things to myself because part of me would love more birds. :x3:

I think you are spot on wanting Sunny to be the only bird for new.

Sorry- just saw this. Butler Parrots (through Pet Finder). The last I looked they had 3 different conures up for adoption. All cuties.
