conure

I have done as much research as I can do but I still have questions. For months I debated on getting a parrot. I settled for a conure and he is about 6 months old. I do have a pet Pigeon so I know many things about birds from owning him. He’s quite the butt and makes you earn any socialization...

I'm a very new conure owner, and I desperately need some help! My Pineapple GCC, Applejack, seems to not be interested in any of her toys. I know she is still warming up to our home and her cage. She does play with a few types of toys, but I am looking for suggestions on what other toy types...

My GCC's nails are pretty overgrown. I've noticed when she walks (especially on flat surfaces) she's pretty much walking on her nails. I haven't been able to find a groomer/vet in the area that's willing to clip her nails (her regular vet is 2 hours away), and clipping her nails at home is a...

Hey! So I think I know what happened? Momo recently started waking up and chewing on her cage in the morning. She usually chirps for me to get her as soon as she wake up but started doing the chewing thing about a week or so ago. So I’m thinking maybe she went a bit to hard or something and it...

Hi again, I just noticed the bottom of Momo’s beak suddenly looks like it’s really flaky/peeling a lot. I think she might be molting right now so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it but the change seems so sudden and I’m really worried now? Does this look normal to you guys? 1st...

Does anyone have tips for cleaning wooden toys/perches/ladders that have been pooped on? I try to keep everything arranged so things won't get pooped on, but there seems to be no avoiding it entirely haha. I assume water/soap wouldn't be the way to go as that could cause mold? Maybe I'll just...

I adopted my pet conure, "Buddy" in 2014 by a couple who just had a baby and needed to find a good home for their pet, this was on Craigslist The conure has a blue captive bred ID ring with letters "FFC OR" which is on the left leg. I looked this ring number up on "Leg Band Registry" website...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to find some answer on how to help my 12 year old Sun Conure, Mango. He has always over-regurgitate, in my opinion anyways, since he was about 9 which is when my other Conure Claire started laying eggs ( she was also about 9 so it was a surprise to us). It would be on and...

Wondering if anyone can help me. My amazing little conure passed away very suddenly on Sunday and I have so many unanswered questions that I’m hoping someone here might be able to answer for me. about 2 days before he passed, he wasn’t himself, he was very quiet (which was unusual for him!) he...

Hi!! My name is Taryn, but yall can also call me Ziggy. I am 21 and I'm just going with what life throws at me! Ofc I'm not going about it alone though! I have a couple of animal friends with me :) I have a cat, his name is Joansey, I have a tank full of fish. And of course the star of this...

My question is for those who have adopted adult conures from happy homes: what is rehoming like for them? Do they grieve terribly for their previous owners? Or are they more ‘happy go lucky’? Am I applying human emotions onto this situation? *this is my first post, I hope I’ve done it right* I...

Hello I’m searching for a new cage for my conure and came across this one from birdscomfort.com Has anyone ordered from them before? I’m curious if they’re reputable and about cage quality. Thanks!

How are these mutations even possible? How rare are they?

Hi, I got picaso yesterday from his owners who couldnt keep him because they moved, They told me he was a red factor sun conure but I think he is a jenday conure. In the picture it looks more of a dark orange but in person his belly is a dark red, under his wings is a nice red and on his 2...

Hello everyone, My sun conure has strokes every couple of weeks. I think it has happened 5 times now. It always seems to happen during the night, because me and my wife have never seen it happen. We hear him fall and when we go to him, he is at the bottom of his cage not moving much and his...

I honestly thought I would never be posting this/ asking about this soon. I lost my 12-year-old baby girl on the 7th and I'm super distraught. I had gotten sick at the beginning of February and sadly wasn't able to take care of my babies for three days. My mom was looking after them (she knows...

Just wondering since I've never actually experienced it before, haha. But Aro had a huge grumpy day yesterday where I couldn't even go near "his" side of the room without him getting all grouchy about it, and he lost a tail feather today, I don't think this is any form of sign for it, he was...

Hey guys, so recently my conure has had the worst behaviour he has ever had. I think it started about two weeks ago, but it could have been sooner. He's about 2 1/2 years old, suspected male. Out of the blue, he started eating everything. He's never done this before. He's eaten 3 cords, a...

Pasting this from backyardchickens… Hello everyone! Wanted to see if any of you have any tips for my wacky bird, who is OBSESSED with my boyfriend... for good and bad! A little background on Beepers, the green cheek conure: he's a three year old (estimated age and gender) rescue. I am his...

My 8month old conure swallowed my gf nose ring. We took him out of his cage to play and while hanging out on her chest he snatched her nose stud out. It’s a 7 millimeter’s tiny nose stud stainless steel. We plan on taking it to the vet in the morning but we are very concerned. We were on the bed...
