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...

Hi all! My GCC has had a happy hut for 9 years now. It's canvas on the outside and some fluff on the inside. I've trimmed off most of the fluff a long time ago and he only uses it for sleeping and doesn't chew on it, however, I still prefer to consider alternate solutions occasionally because I...

I need a little advice here. On Christmas we got our GCC a new, hilariously large, flight cage and she hates it! We loaded it with treats and food and brand new toys, but she doesn't want to be anywhere near it unless we're in the room. We tried putting her in it and leaving the room, but she...

Okay, so,,I'm looking for a bit of advice here. I know that all birds have different preferences in pellets and there's no "one size fits all" situation with them, but I'm wanting to do my best for Aro's health. I was advised to use tops with him as it's the best for birds apparently, but, since...

So I wanted to come here and get everyone else's opinions. I've had a few birds, but none have lasted long due to unfortunate reasons, so I'm still very new and over cautious. My Green Cheeked Conure shows no other signs of illness, he plays occasionally, eats just fine, drinks just fine but he...

I know that I just got back, but there has been something on the back of my mind since day one of Aro coming home.. When I start transitioning (FtM), I will probably change quite a bit physically, and I didn't consider before how that might effect him. I know that the changes will be subtle and...

The loudness is..really getting to me I feel really bad saying it, because again I signed up for this, and I keep telling myself I don't mind it, it's just noise, but I don't know if a conure is the right bird for me, I feel like I heavily underestimated how loud they are and at this point I...

Going off advice I was given when I was freaking out on my first post, I've been doing my best to simply let Aro relax and get used to everything, no pressure to learn anything new or do anything he doesn't want to do, the only "new" thing we're trying is gradually moving onto pellets...

Anyone else have days where their Conure just..Decides it's time to be noisy all the time with no breaks? I swear, every 2-3 days Aro just decides " I think I will scream all day today:)" and I can't figure out if it's normal or he's just once again being his weird little self xD Its 4pm and...

I'm very nervous. Its just a check to make sure he's healthy and that his nails/beak doesn't need trimming, but I feel an overwhelming nervousness that's kept me up til 1am worrying. :( How did you guy's first vet visits go? I'd love to hear some stories to help me relax. Also, since he isn't...

He gets SO excited about strawberries, it's genuinely adorable. First time he basically rushed out of his cage for more, hahah. I love this little guy so much <3 Link to a cute video of him having a snack

Hi all. I’m wanting a strong bond with both my conures that I just got. Has anyone successfully created a strong bond with themselves and both birds at the same time that are in the same cage? Should I separate them in different rooms until they form a strong bond with me first or should I...

I’ve noticed my green cheek conure Dexter getting black lines at the ends of his feathers on his wings. At first I thought he was just molting but after doing more research I saw that it could be because of over preening. He does like to take baths and whenever there is a body of water near him...

Hello! My friend has just gotten a new Crimson-Bellied Conure who is around a month old. They want me to help them with raising and training the little guy. Some of the bird’s history: My friend bought him from a lady whose conures had accidentally bred (bit of a red flag IMO). He’s apparently...

Hello, First time posting! I got a conure from Petsmart on Columbus Day (Cheeky - gray and green). It was very frightened but got more used to being in the house (still not warmed up to me though). Then a week later my fiancé got a conure (Angel) without consulting me and started putting the...

Hi All. I’m hoping you have some advice please. I’ve had a green cheek conure named Tiki for the last 8 years. She’s been pretty friendly, steps up reliably, and absolutely loves cuddling in my hair. We haven’t done much training with her but have been in general pretty lucky with her behavior...

Hello, I recently rescued a cinnamon green cheek with a leg band, but breeder ID is PBN. I saw on a previous thread that PBN stands for Preferred Bird Network but didn’t see any additional information besides that. Information on PBN seems pretty limited online, it does not seem to have a FB...

Hey guys, so I have three cockatiels... They live loose in a room of their own plus a very large place in the garden, which is closed. I want to buy a peach fronted conure, but I don't have cages to separate them and I wanted to breed them together. As I have a space of more or less 100m², would...
