conure advice

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice regarding Chewy, my GCC. He just turned two in December, and like a month or so before it's like a switch flipped. He has been HORRIBLE. I've been doing everything I can to discourage bad behaviour and give him lots of distractions, but nothing seems to be...

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. I have a gcc male and pineapple conure female. Both are pretty young, around 9 months. I have bought together from a breeder when they are 5 months old. Yesterday, my male gcc flew away somehow. I need suggestion on couple of questions 1. If I buy a new male conure, will it pair...

Hi I have a three year old conure who’s laying her first ever clutch she has not left the box for two days and came out today looking like she’s been attacked is this normal or should I get her to the vet ASAP pic below

Hey guys, I adopted a pair of green cheek conures from a local breeder some 2 weeks ago. They are a boy (Mac) and a girl (Linux), both hatched mid April this year. They are from different parents. When they first came, they seem to get along really well. However, starting this week, I noticed...

Hi folks. Am posting from the UK and hoping for some impartial advice. Around a year ago, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome..it keeps me pretty housebound when I have flares and being a nature lover, I was missing feeding the local ducks, swans and moorhens near where I live. I...

Hi! for my birthday I'm going to be getting mercury a new flight cage, and I fell in love with A&E's flight cages when I saw one at my local bird store. However, I checked the forums and saw the general guide and reviews for cages and saw some things about A&E. I'm a little hesitant to get him...

Cage clean day today again! gonna try using vinegar, whats the exact ratio and is there any kind of vinegar I can't use? also, is mercury safe in the same room as me while I use it? :)

My Yellow-Sided Conure: Daenerys has always made this chattering sound since the day we rescued her. If I had to compare it to anything: It sounds like a quieter version of an angry Donald Duck. None of my other Conures make this sound, not even her cage-mate: Shades (Greencheek.) Is this...

Mercury for the past week hasn't been the happiest eating fresh foods. I'm a little confused about it since he was eating well for so long, I stopped giving him fruit everyday (low sugary fruits) and now he barely touches his food. He'll eat pellets and forage for treats but refuses veggies and...

just wanted to look at what you guys all feed for fresh food daily, I'm always looking for new things to try.

Hi ! I have no experience with soaking or sprouting, so I picked up the ABBA 5000 mix at my local bird speciality store ! the directions are a little unclear and when I tried to google it for any tutorials I couldn't find anything ! I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this? I'm...

Hey all :D Im back!:xflove: its been a hot minute since I was last on this forum and man have I missed the help and wonderful community. After my three, sweet budgies past on I took a break from birds and everything related. But now I'm older, and have two crazy 3 year old green cheek conures...

I have 9 birds in total, all rescues: 4 Budgies, 4 Conures and an African Grey. October, last year, I rescued 2 of my 4 Conures: A male and a female Greencheek, both 6 years old. They had no names when they were turned in, which I found odd that someone could own birds for 6 years and never name...

Hi there, I’ve found myself ina situation that has resulted in me having to hand rear a baby conure in the next few days. I am unsure of how old the baby is, I’ve been told 6-7 weeks but am unsure. I will attach pictures. currently the baby is being fed by syringe at 8am, 1pm, 7pm and 12am...

Good evening everyone, I'm taking a lot of time to reflect on what I could have done wrong with Peaches (Rip Lovie) I've been cooking with Blue Diamond cookware and I was wondering if this is safe. It's ceramic and nonstick but claims there are no toxins used. I would LOVE some links to...

Hi! I'm Hilary, I live in Dallas TX and I'm a new mom to an adorable green cheeked conure. Still need to the DNA testing, the idea of getting his blood for the test makes me a bit nervous! But I'd like to eventually breed so I'll have to figure it out. I also have 3 parakeets and while they...

Hey, wanted to post as I am at a complete loss at the moment. I recently brought home a rescue dusky headed conure, I was aware he had some behavioural issues but the previous owner definitely left a few things out. He is around 14 years old. So there is the biting, now i was told he did give...

My 10 month green cheek conure has recently had feathers on his back turning brown ish and they look a bit shredded and far apart from each other. Pictures below please help planing on taking him to vet soon.

This is my first post on the forum, so I apologize for breaking any rules if I do with this post. I'm new to this whole forum thing. I have a golden conure, about 10 months old and she does not want to be in her cage. When I put her in there, whether it be at night (around 8-9 pm) or if I am...
