What kind of conure is this?

[Ninna]

I'm SO pleased you've decided to give her a home! I've not been able to stop thinking about the poor little thing,, so reading your last post has made me very happy! I totally understand your dilemma, especially after meeting the baby green cheeks, but I think you've made the right decision - she needs you. I wish you luck and hope the two of you will be very happy! I look forward to hearing about your progress.

I worry that it would almost be mean to get only one of the others that are used to playmates. I bet this one will positively blossom with the slightest bit of love and attention!

... not to mention light. Dang that manager.

Congrats. Very happy that you decided to take her into your home. A&E flight cage should work. Which size is that one?
I am a fan of the Avian Adventures Loro but, if you can get a cage and bring it home now that would be the good way to go.
Sometimes shipped cages can have issues.
Hope things work out for you and your new feathered friend.

BTW, keep us updated.

I completely agree @faislaq!! I was thinking the same thing today as I watched these birds play together. They were seriously having a BLAST! It would be a shame to separate them from each other.
Here is more video that I took today. It was so fun watching them wrestle. It turned into a 4-parrot brawl!!!!!

Is this common??

For caiques, yes! I've not seen green cheeks play that hard. They're an energetic bunch.

I have tried posting a link to a picture of the cage, @iamwhoiam, but the site will not seem to accept it.

 

[cab124]

hehe....yes, and I love the way one of the pineapples stops for a little preening right in the middle of the brawl, and then jumps right back into the action. They seem like a really happy bunch!!

I just copy & paste, no?

 

[iamwhoiam]

Hmmm....can you try another site to link the cage. Is there a similar one here: My Bird Store - Discount Exotic Bird Supplies - mybirdstore.com Check out their cage section.

I sometimes drag the photo from a website and drop it into my post.

Should be a big improvement over this...

 

[iamwhoiam]

That's very spacious and it's assembled. I like having outside feeder doors so I can just swing the door open to change the food/water although my birds don't go after me when I put my hand in the cage (except for Shannon). Most flight cages don't have those. The Loro does.
I HATED assembling the A&E cage I purchased. Took me 4 hours. Takes me no time to assemble a "no tools" (unless there is an issue) Avian Adventures cages.

Adding....I think the A&E elegant flight cages have swing out feeder doors.

You'll need to add a lot of toys and larger diameter natural perches and/or rope perches and maybe some bolt on bowls instead of those plastic dishes. A ladder or two would be nice.
Do you get a health guarantee with the GCC?

That cage is definitely 100X better than the claustrophobic and dark space she is existing in right now.

 

[cab124]

Yes, please list all of the items that I should add to the cage. I want to make it a great environment for her to thrive in. Her life for the last several months has been pitiful.

• Bolt-on bowls
• Natural perches
• Rope perches
• Ladders
• Cuddle tent?

I will have to ask about the health situation. I also need to have her/him DNA sexed.
I am also hoping that she isn't going to end up being very loud. I live in a condo and share walls with neighbors, though the sound insulation is pretty good.

 

[iamwhoiam]

Toys, toys and more toys!! Don't overwhelm her at first, though. She is going from a hovel into a mansion.

Oh! This is the last day of the Sidewalk Sale. You should grab some toys.

psst... @cab124 If you happen to post what city that PetSmart is in I'll call the manager raise heck and escalate to the regional if that light doesn't get fixed.

Plenty of room for a friend if you decide later.
