Hi, I got new baby pineapple conure. She’s 2 months old. She’s been with me for only 2 days. I am worried she’s sick coz I saw bubbles in her poop. And she is sleeping a lot. She’s eating and also trying to fly around the house but she’s active for 5 mins and after that sleep for half hour or more. Is that concerning? Should I take her to the vet or its normal for baby conures to sleep that much. Also let me know about the bubbles in poop part. I would really appreciate your help.

I would love for my bird to do the tricks but……….he refuses to pickup anything even for his favorite treat! How do you get them to start?

First you guys are GREAT! Second, I just wanted to share how WONDERFUL my Sun Gold conure is. He was bred by Catherine in San Diego, CA where she sadly seems to have run out of time crossing Gold Caps with Sun Conures to create a VERY colorful bird, calmer and less vocal than Suns with the Gold Cap easier personality. Being disabled he gets more time out of his 4 story cage, and understands more English, but speaks and counts to 5 along with answering questions he likes: “Do you want out of your cage?” “I WANT OUT” Then always a polite “Thank You” afterwards along with TY post treats or sharing dinner. Ferdie is 8 now and I would love to continue Catherines work, but costs are prohibitive. I just wanted to share my special and unique conure with your Easter sale. Hoppy Easter to BIRD TRICKS!

I brought a green cheek conure home from a pet store 1 week ago. The bird is very skittish of hands. S/he has always been toweled against her will to be moved. She will not come out of her cage and she will squeak and run/fly to the back of the cage if a person comes near. I feel like I cannot start any training or bonding because she is just so afraid.

Im getting a pineapple conure, should i care for it just like a sun conure? Im really not shure. His name is mochi and he has been on a horrible diet, how to i transfer him to the birdtricks diet?

Looking for a aviary to put in my court yard lookinyjag thought maybe you could give me a phone or web address. thank you Lizzy MCcue

I have a GCC that is 4 months old. He is a good boy most of the time and thinks everyone is a friend. Today, I was barefooted and he attacked my toes! I pushed him away and he came right back with his wings up and every intention of attacking again. I put socks on and he’s fine. What is it about toes that could be upsetting him? Any insight would be really awesome. I live in Houston and hot,humid weather calls for bare feet! I just ordered Birdie Bread and pellets so I can get him on a healthier diet. Also wondered if he should have a seed mix for small or medium birds. Thank you for all the information you have put out. It has helped me a lot! Carolyn F

I have ordered a meeting with you in the past with my ex. You are responsible for all our birds now eating RoudyBush, very good. One Conure is feather plucking after I tried to control and shaved beak because he was biting, next day no feathers. Getting worse, won’t stop, has now a bonded mate but he has chewed almost every feather he could I wonder if you could help? Bacterial home remedies I wonder if it has progressed to an infection from a dirty baths after having no feathers, and even chewing sores, very concerned very upsetting I know not really what to do. How much does a consultation cost, are you capable? I have an Online Bird vet consultation picked out but they charge anywhere from $60-$100 a half hour, and wondering if you could help??

Thanks for your knowledge, I have been through the loss of my Marley a pineapple conure and it’s been real hard for me to deal with, it was my fault so everyone please take advantage of this site and get the intel as you can so you don’t have a broken heart as I. I pray for forgiveness.

Hi, I’m thinking to get a Patagonian conure. Do you have any video that can help me to know them better. Thanks

I just lost my GCC yesterday, 11/11/22. I’m not exactly sure what happened either. She was fine then she wasn’t. We had a pet sitter that watched the 2 birds and 2 dogs when we went out of town. This has happened many times. Have never had an issue before. This time, Miko was fine until just before we were to pick her (them) up. Then she wasn’t. She was gone before we got to her. I don’t know if she was sick prior to this and I just didn’t catch it or what. But she seemed to be fine. I am just heartsick! I feel horrible. Did I do something wrong? Did I miss something? Or was it just a matter of “it was just her time”. She was 16 years old. So for a captive conure, I am told that is a pretty long life. (??) Just trying to look for some imput if anyone has any. Thanks

Hello how are you, do you conure available for adoption ?

Bonjour, We bought the seasonal feeding books for our 2parrots! (Africain grey and yellow head amazone)They love it! We recently bought a pineapple conure and we are wondering how much gram of food would be a good average by day. We realized our daughter was treating him too much with sunflower seeds and it was affecting his meal. Hopefully we figure fast but we don’t know how much give it to him and it seems craving during the day since we correct the situation. Thanks for youre help.

I have a sun conure named Sunny! He will be 2 in march.whats you take on harnesses and leads for taking them outside?

Hi Jamie and Dave, First of all, thank you guys so much for a ll the help and info you make available to all of us bird owners, and even though we have owned birds for the past 20 years, I still have learned so much from you guy’s! We just purchased a Green Cheeked Conure, who is very cute and adorable. He also plays with everybody in the family and loves training. I have one worry though, which is his sleeping habit. It is very weird, as he is the first bird I have seen hanging on to the top side bars of his cage, and sleeps like this all night long. I can not see how he would get a proper nights sleep in this position. I read on some bird chat boards that Conures like to sleep in the top corners of their cages and like to snuggle/ lean into something soft while they are sleeping, so we ordered him a corner shelf with dowels. I am not so sure about ordering him a snuggle blankie that ties to the side of the cage, as he might chew on it, although he does not seem be the too destructive kind of bird, as he has barely touched his toys yet either. Do you have any advice on sleeping habits of Conures? Any help would be very much appreciated! Maggie

I bought a 10 week old GCC from Petco a Week ago …. Sweet, Wonder Bird … Attached to Me Day One and has just been Perfect …

May i know the exact feeding schedule of a baby conure 4 weeks old. Normally i let her eat 4-5 hours or when the crop is near empty, whichever comes first but normally the crop will empty first. And it is getting fast during her 4th week, it became 3 hours only. Also, her last meal is 9pm for dinner, what is the max hour for her to be still safe to feed in the morning? Because there are times i wake up so late like 8am. Thanks!!

Hi I have a maroon bellied conure. I’ve had her for 3 months now, and she hasn’t stopped biting. I try to show her my hands aren’t harmful when she’s out the cage, but she still tries to bite. I don’t care that she bites me, but I’m on blood thinners and I’m a bit afraid she’ll bite me where I start to bleed. How do I get her to stop biting?

Jamie I’m bringing home 2 green cheek conures (a mated pair) and we have a sun conure right now who is already very attached to me. Do you have advice on how to acclimate them to each other? Thank you! Shannon W

Do you sell the cages?

For all of you guys, she’s done videos on pretty much all of those topics-biting, rushing, flight training, how to make you parrot like your mother, the ten year old kid, I think you oughta go to a bird rescue stat, and watch YouTube, she’s done food conversion with mixing in the preferred food with the veggies, anmd take the bird to a vet.

First off I want to say thank you so much for all the work and effort you’ve done to make all of this content to help other bird owners have amazing relationships with their feathered babies. I have a sun conure named Mango. She is a little over a year old now and we are learning together. We are at a stage where I feel comfortable teaching my children how to handle and care for her. Especially how to pay attention to her body language. I’d dearly love to be able to train her for free flight but I am super worried she just won’t come back to me. We have been working on training to fly back and forth for a while now among a few other tricks. I’ve been taking it a little slow as she was very young when we got her and this is my first time with anything bigger than a budgie. I believe Mango and I share a good bond now and I wanted that established before I tried any sort of training. I most recently have been getting her feeding food from your cook books. My question would be how do you as the human get over the fear to free flight train?

Hi Jamie plz email me back I don’t know what to do my bird won’t stop biting me
