    the journey of Leaf, as told by me

    Part 1 of Leaf’s journey: On January 13 of 2017 I was working in the salon with a coworker when we both noticed this giant cage looking thing standing in the middle of the entrance. We surmised several different things that could inhabit this cage from sugar gliders to birds. My gut feeling was...

    is there any such thing as too big of a cage?

    currently Leaf's cage is 32” W x 23” D x 69” H and the cage that I'm looking at for an upgrade is 42"W x 26"D x 5ft 10”H. the reason I want to upgrade is so that I can add more perches and toys to keep him entertained while I'm gone. the second cage would be from King's Cages as well but I just...

    sun conures: the yellowest things that aren't bananas

    last night I was looking at research over Sun Conure noises because I was just curious. supposedly they're REALLY loud but either I got lucky or I don't notice the sound all too much because I absolutely adore Leaf. it's funny how some people are saying they're too loud for them while other's...

    About to take the plunge. Advice?

    After a great deal of research and serious soul-searching (and a bit of alliteration), I've decided that I really do want to get a parrot. I've found one in particular whom I'm interested in and am debating whether or not to go ahead and bring her home. Mango is a 2 1/2 year old sun conure who...

    Daxter's Progress and new toy

    Hello everyone! Daxter's making ok progress behavioral wise it seems. He's getting more trustworthy, and we've managed to train up to step up on perches. From there we can get him to step up onto fingers without a fuss, but ONLY if he's taken via perch away from his cage. He will not step...

    possessiveness and roommates

    this morning I found out what Kristen (the woman who messaged me to take Leaf since he was attacking her boyfriend) was talking about when she messaged me about Leaf attacking her boyfriend. Bow was chilling on the couch (she was allowed out while Soap was kenneled because Soap is prey drivey...

    New Parront Conure with abnormal droppings? please help.

    Hi guys, I recently took in a Sun Conure and have never owned a bird. I am still learning. Here's a few facts; My guy was on a seed only diet when I got him. I have just in the last couple of days switched him to a pelleted diet, along with some sweet potato and a grape here and there. He's...

    What Kind of Bird Am I?

    My bird Echo was sold to me as a Jenday Conure, but as a couple people have pointed out, he doesn't completely look like one. He's ten months old, so he's not completely at his full colors, but he's close. I worked at Petsmart, which is where I met him, and though we sold him as a Jenday, he was...

    Hello all. I hope this is the right area to post this! I'm looking to get a travel/carry cage for my new Sun Conure, mostly to be used for Vet visits. It's the holidays now, and the avian vet near me is closed, but I want to be able to get Daxter in soon to get checked out and make sure...

    Possibly Bringing A Sun Conure Home

    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...

    Hello From Columbus, OH

    My name is Jake. I'm a gamer, a hair stylist, and a parrot lover. I have a Sun Conure (Drakos), a Quaker (Sky), and two budgies (Frosty and Storm). As I'm sure most people don't join on a whim, I do have a little bit of a situation: Currently I've had to downsize and my Sun and Quaker are...

    Clumsy and Cheeky Sun Conure, anyone else have this occur?

    Hello everyone! Thought I would see just how common this occurs with other peoples flocks, but does anyone else happen to have clumsy birds? Ever since we have had our sun, Cygni has always been slightly clumsy. Occasionally falls off of shoulders, his flight patterns are goofy, his floor...
