conure adoption

I have a 4 year old green cheek Conure I adopted a couple weeks ago. We have some biting problems but seems like we are on the way to bonding. The last couple days when she's been out of her enclosure I've noticed a new behavior! Just want to make sure I'm safe with this and it's just a cute way...

I am getting ready to adopt and save another green cheek conure from down here in the south. I know that there are a few rules in regards to having a new bird in the house (Rico has almost always been an alone bird) but i wanted some advise. i heard the quarentine period is 30 days, is this...

I have owned birds my entire life. Most recently I lost my Quaker at age 22. But that isn’t why I am here. My mom recently passed away. She was the owner of three sun conures that were loyal only to her. Over the twenty-something years she had them, they came after me every single time I was...

I think this might be a predominately American forum but I thought it worth a go. This is a heart breaking situation because my 4 yr old sweet girl (not dna tested) has no behavioural problems, but I have developed a serious allergy and no measures have made it liveable for me. It’s taking a...

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...

Hi all! First time poster here! :newhere: I am Katira, I am 23 and an online student, bibliophile and full-time bird nerd. Welcoming all helpful suggestions for me and my two best bird friends!! :irn::heart::bcc: So a little backstory: I was given my IRN :irn: Apple, by a friend who bought him...

I have a GCC at home and I've been thinking about getting another GCC as a companion. Today I went into my local pet shop and saw 2 GCCs which appeared to be bonded because they were in "separate" cages but sitting next to each other. I say "separate" because there's only a glass divider...

Hello everyone! its my first time posting here! after a TON of research and much waiting I've finally adopted my first green cheek conure! The previous owner unfortunetly could no longer give her the time she needed, but I could tell she was really heartbroken to give her up and that coco was...

I got Niko last Saturday, and hes really sweet when I hold him. But, it has to be his idea to get on me. At the store, he was pretty good at step up, but at home he tends to sit fluffed up on his cage and coo at me. (Not sure if coo is the right word, but this is my first bird) However, if I try...

Hi!! I'm a minor from Ohio and have a major love for birds!! I've wanted a sun or jenday conure for 3 years now and I'm finally getting one! So I thought I'd join here to share my first time experience with a conure and have somewhere to ask questions if I need too

So about a week ago I got an 8 year old cinnamon green cheek conure (from a rescue) who is wonderfully sweet, however I am a new parrot owner and was unprepared for some of the behavior problems she has (they didn't really show up in a shelter environment). She refuses to step up quite often...

So I've been on AA all day thinking a cockatoo was what I wanted, i'd done the research thinking- "yeah they are loud, how bad can it be? Yeah they are messy, I can clean it. Yeah they can easily slip into a depression for being left alone for more than and hour or 2, but i'm homeschooled so I...

I know I've posted here before about wanting a conure, and how I was doing research on how to properly care for them and I had shown interest in GCC, but I've just come across a chance to adopt a sun conure in need of a loving home. I know that sun conures are louder, and I was wondering if...
