Hi! I haven’t been on here for a while.
So long story short; I am rescuing a baby sun conure from a cruel shop, according to them he’s about 3 months old (will attach a picture)
I have a few questions first
I know they are very loud but how loud are they? And are there any tips on how to mute them a little? Now trust me I do know that loudness comes with the bird and I would never punish it or love it less. I’ve raised a loud macaw and an Indian Ringneck.
I’ll be home majority of the day as I’ll be studying from home but might leave for a few hours a day. I’m planning on just buying the biggest cage I‘ll find at the shop because the bigger the better to me even though I do not plan on keeping it in the cage majority of the day.
I currently have no other birds in the house, the store recommended me to get a pair but I’ve never bought my previous parrots as pairs because they were always fine with being with me and bonded to me and my family (we have no small kids, the oldest in our household is 14)
He also said that they will lose their current olive coloured feathers and grow orange later, is that true?
Any tips or any additional information or things I should prepare for? Specific comments on the diet?
I forgot to say that I also want to get him a harness so when should I introduce him to it? Is it ok to get them used to it at this young? I’ve never harness trained my birds before but I want to be save and want to be able to take it outside for healthy sunlight
