I’m in the process of contacting local breeders and getting information from them, but I thought I’d ask your thoughts on some basics. Favorite cage for a single conure? What are some things to look...

    Coupled Conure Cages

    I have two conures and I was advised to keep them in the same cage together and get a larger cage. Any recommendations for a cage that will be fit for two? I can afford around $350 max. Also, have any of you built PVC play gyms before and want to share pics/ideas? Thanks!

    So this might be a foolish question but here it goes… How do you experienced owners keep the house clean? We have a 7 month old conure who loves to play in and outside of his cage. We have a relatively small open concept house which means he does all of his living where we do too. I’m not...
