Hello! My name is Jennifer, and I am the usually happy owner of two conures. I have a Sun Conure named Soda Pop and a Green Cheek Conure named Guillermo. Now for birdy introductions:
Soda Pop:
This lovely lady is about 22 if I recall correctly from the band on her ankle. She is very set in her ways and only likes when things are on her terms. She has lived with members of my boyfriend's family since they got her, but mostly with my boyfriend when his housing accommodates. Ever since we moved in together I have helped care for her and she now kind of loves me.
Guillermo:
This little guy has lived with my sister for years. He doesn't have a band, so I have no idea how old he is. We just recently took him in at Christmas because my sister felt he needed more attention, and she wasn't capable of giving that to him. We got on great in the beginning, but he has become moody in the last few days and has taken to biting hard after perching on my finger. We are working on this, but I'm not exactly an experienced bird owner. Aside from the biting, he's a loving bird who enjoys sitting on my shoulder incessantly preening me. He's a little cuddle bug.
My background in birds consists of my sister adopting birds when we were young, realizing they were too much or getting bored, and giving them to better homes. As they weren't my birds, I never really cared to learn much. I'm mostly used to dogs, cats, and rodents of all sorts. The training is so very different with birds, I'm still working towards understanding how to enforce positive behavior. That is why I'm here. To better the lives of my adorable little feathered friends.
Hello again and I look forward to meeting all of your little guys, too!
