conure advice

Hi all! This is my first post on this forum and I'm looking for some help with my GC. My bird, Ricco is around 9 years old and has always been an absolute sweet heart. I went to college for around 6 months and I just got him back into my dorm, I understand he's adjusting but his aggressive...

I recently brought home my baby sun conure Asja, and he's been amazing but I've noticed him "acting like a baby" a lot, if anything only more and more often? (Fluffy head, wing flaps, bobbing head) He is only 3 months, so not unexpected, but I would rather be cautious and check if it's a health...

Hi everyone, we got our our first pineapple conure 1 year ago, then we decided to have another conure recently, we got two yellow sided conure from the same clutch. We had this free flight idea two years ago, we started free flying our first lovebird with a group of free flight people, we train...

Hi Friends! I'm running into some nail trimming troubles with my four year old Pineapple Conure, Duck. I have been trimming her nails since I brought her home at three months old. I have never hit her quick, and I try my best to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible. I wrap her in...

I'm looking for some advice and opinions on what bird companion I should get for my three-year-old female pearly conure, Abu. I'm moving out soon and have decided to dedicate a whole room for my feathered friends, complete with perches, toys, and two large flight cages. Abu will have her own...

My green cheeked conure will not eat her pellets. I don't know what to do she takes a minute per pellet and doesn't even always chew them. I don't even think she's able to successfully eat them. She can crush a few of them or she drops it and tries a different pellet. I thought the pellets may...

I have an 8 month old green cheek conure and shes a cuddle bug. She is very sweet with people and loves attention, but now for some reason shes decided that she wants to bite. She is fed TOPS pellets, fruits and veggies. She has a lot of toys to chew on and a lot of outside time. She flies to me...

Hi everyone, my little guy is 9 years old, had no behavioral change, generally seems totally fine, is eating well, poops normal etc. but he started to develop this bald spot under right “armpit”. not sure what to do with it and if it’s something to be concerned about. any recommendations? i...

I recently got a baby conure to add to my flock. She is VERY nippy, and i am trying my best to teach her that this is not okay. I am trying to determine WHEN it happens so i can know the triggers... but its hard. sometimes she will fly to me and be at peace (Im not moving btw) and then all of a...

So yesterday i got another conure. Shes a cinnamon one and shes only 9 mo old. The conure that ive had for a while is rico. Hes almost 2. Now, Rico saw Piña (thats the cinnamon head) and he was curious at first, but then wanted to attack. Hes a feisty guy so even when him and Piña are in...

Hi I’m concerned on whether my green cheek is molting or not. He just turned 1 year old recently and lately I’ve been noticing his chest feathers going away and on the floor. I don’t know the difference between if he’s plucking or if he’s just molting and would like some sort of clarification...

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...

Hi all! First time post. So I have a conure, Jack, who broke about 50% of his top beak and as such we take him to his vet monthly for bottom beak trims. For some time I've been thinking about doing the trims myself and recently have really wanted to do that more. Primarily this is because every...

Hi everyone! I’m wondering about molting- Tulsi turned a year old Dec. 20th. When we got her in September, she had tons of pin feathers and was losing a lot of those light gray, soft fluffy fetchers but that’s all subsided; until now. Shes starting to lose those soft, fluffy under feathers (?idk...

Last year I was going to get a new bird but because of some personal issue, I had to give up the crimson I was just about to buy. Now that that personal issue have cleared up and I have most of the stuff needed for the conure (cage, toys, bowls), I started looking for some hand reared conures...

Yesterday I was trimming my conures wings which our vet recommended us doing. As I was doing so his foot got in the way and it cut above his nail. I was immediately panicking and called my vet while using some baby powder which was the only thing I had on hand to stop the bleeding. He didn’t...

I am having a hard time telling but I am concerned. My brown-throat Conure bobbed her head a few times before spitting up a clear fluid. Is she okay? What does this mean? The vet was unhelpful, offered no advice and has us on a waitlist.

Hi, I've noticed that my 3 plus month old sun conure's vocal is much different than other sun conure's. The sound is like lower pitch. but other 2month old sun conure baby's sound is like the adult conure. mine is 3 month plus and sound not similar like that. don't know is it normal or not...

I have had my sun conure just shy of two years. She turned 2 at the end of June or this year. I used to bring her to work with me at a pet store all the time and she LOVED it. The store I’m at is warehouse-like with a few isles that she would free fly up and down. This also was GREAT for my...

Hi I have noticed that my 2.5-month old Sun Conure bird has curved fingers. and it cannot properly grip the perches or my finger. Is there a likelihood of those fingers being repaired? I would like to seek advice from experts regarding this matter. Thanks in advance
