    Bird can fly but he's lazy

    I have two conures, they were lightly clipped as a baby by the breeder but still very strong fliers even during that time. A while ago one got sick, he's doing much better now but doesn't like flying much. His brother will do laps around the room and flies everywhere but he just prefers...

    Why is my sun conure making this noise?

    I’m pretty worried since my sun conure keeps making this noise. Is this normal? She doesn’t have a runny nose, is very active, pooping and eating and playing like normal. I’ve heard Sun conures make a variety of different noises which are usually harmless but this one really gets me a bit...

    Our first second bird

    A little over a year ago we got our first bird a two month old green cheeked conure we named Hobgoblin aka Hobs. Over the course of the year he has become a bright, snuggly, fun little bird. We enjoy him very much. Yesterday we decided to add to the flock and brought home a 5 month old pearl...

    Can GC conures and budgies get along

    First off I'm not sure if this is the forum to post this on, but I was scrolling through Craigslist and came across a green cheek conure that was recently posted. Didn't expect to, but I kinda really want it now. Though I doubt I'll actually be able to get it depending on how my parents feel...

    Hormonal feather destruction

    Hi all! My bird is at it again with barbering/chewing her feathers. I found out this past spring she was a girl when two eggs appeared in her cage initially I thought her barbering/over preening was due to low humidity in the house over fall and winter, but now it seems the barbering begins...

    Sun conure bites and won’t let go

    I just got a conure yesterday and have had him all set up in my room, he likes hanging out on the top of the cage and to talk. He is very beautiful my only problem is his biting. I know birds are anxious about new environments so I understood at first and would leave him alone unless it was...

    One conure super calm, the other furious with me.

    So I have two male green cheek conures, I've only had them for a few months now. They were both fine with me up until this point, then one of them got sick about a month ago (Salem). He has been taken to a vet, all good now. When he got sick his personality changed, he used to be more neutral...

    Turquoise GCC weight question

    I wanted to check with more experienced bird parents on my GCC’s weight. Adopted from pet store in May, hatch date November 2021. Zara eats 2-3 tablespoons of Higgins vita seed conure blend, about 2-3 tablespoons of fresh fruit/vegetables, 1tsp of Tops pellets in a day, plus nutriberries as a...

    Is this egg fertilized?

    Hello! I have two conures (one female and the other is unsure) and one of them has been laying eggs. I heard that you could tell if it is fertilized or not by cracking one open and looking for a “bullseye” on the yolk. I tried on an egg laid yesterday that cracked when she pushed it off and this...

    Baby Conure Not Bonding, Barely Wants Anything to do With me

    Hey all. I created this account to hopefully get some advice. I purchased a baby conure in which I named Xatu when he (still waiting on the DNA results, but I'm used to saying he) was 3 months old, and I've had him for almost 3 months now. I have a cockatiel as well, and sometimes they get...

    Conure Anatomy Question

    Hello everyone, I have a green cheek conure who is a little over a year old. I recently noticed he has two small bones either side of his cloaca (where he poops) they are fairly sharp to the touch but do not protrude the skin and it doesn't hurt him when I touch them. I have googled bird...

    Any experience with Natural Inspirations cages?

    I've been looking for a new cage for my two conures and wanted to know if anybody had experiences with the smaller cages from this site as I only see posts about the aviaries. It was suggested in one of my other posts and I'm super interested. I'm curious about the quality and also thoughts...

    Friendly but doesn't accept treats

    Our Sun Conure is a little over a year old now. He was hand raised and as a result is very friendly with my fiance and I. He loves to sit on shoulders and climbs all over us and enjoys cuddles (we jokingly call him our Velcro bird cause when he's out of the cage he wants to be with us). He's a...

    About pellet conversion

    Hi! My sun conure who is almost 1 year old now is having some diet issues to say. I've made him a birdie bread using pellets, but he still won't seem to eat the pellets. I don't feed him the bread every day though, (should I?) Should I move on and try another pellet? Or what else could I do...

    Desensitization

    My sun conure is scared of things like our broom, and when we sneeze he flies, and more like this. He is even scared of things like simply sitting on my bed or going on a new stand. We also cant get him to learn to bathe in a water bowl or container, we have to go in the shower with a shirt on...

    Camping, mosquito and bird

    Hi, It's summer!!! My family and I have been planning on going camping and I would need to bring my green cheek conure with me (I do not have a place for him to stay). I am primarily worried about mosquito spray... Our whole family has allergic reaction to mosquito bites so if we are not in our...

    Pictures Cages for Green Cheek Pair?

    I recently got a pair of green cheek conure males and I had a cage set up already that someone purchased for me, I had just assumed the bar spacing would be okay which was my mistake. After getting the birds I've seen them shove their heads through the bars and chirp at me when they want out. I...

    My conure is sick

    Help! I have a 13 week old conure (Treetrunks) who I’ve taking care of since it was 7 weeks old. I rescued him from a run down closing pet store. His vet has speculated he had a bacterial infection and started him on antibiotics, but his recent blood work suspected it was actually viral… he’s...
