Pictures Meet Charlie

[StellaMacaw]

Oh my gosh, are all Conure so stinkin' adorable?! This little dude has stolen my heart already.

Charlie is a Nanday Conure that we just brought home. He will be 17 years old in May, has been with the same owner since he was weaned (it was actually her son that bought him, but he did not take the bird with him when he moved out). He seems like a real sweetheart. The lady did not know that she could "preen" him, so the back of his head is full of new feather shafts. He let me undo some of them, and then kept nuzzling his head under my finger like he wanted more.

But, it's late, and I think it's best for him to get to bed for tonight, so that'll wait for another day. I got a few (not so great) pics, so here's little Charlie. He reminds me of a little imp, lol

Thanks for reading.

Aw, looks like he shreds his wing feathers. Hopefully more attention will fix that. He's a cutie!

 

[StellaMacaw]

Yeah. His rump and belly feathers are a bit over preened too. She said he was scared of toys, so he only had one that he snuggled with at night. We'll work on introducing him to new things, at a pace that he is comfortable with. Stella didn't play or even chew wood when we got her and now she plays and destroys like crazy. I'm sure he'll learn too.

I Nandays! They are such characters!

My amazon had never had toys either and everything new has to be introduced slowly. He is quite the carpenter though these days and his trays (cage and Jave tree) are littered with wood chips every day He also has learned how to do gymnastics and is very active now.
