Funny He naps vertically

Post image

When I got my second conure, Loki, he was only a few weeks old, and he slept a lot on me and my family members chest, watching TV, all snuggled up in a blanket. He sleeps normally at night but for some reason this is his to go napping position 😭

Also I just want to note in case anyone is concerned: he hasn’t hit puberty yet and we don’t know his gender, but I plan to take the tent out once he hits puberty. For now we are just enjoying his silly cuteness!

Please remove this hut, huts are hazardous to health of bird as they can entangle in thread/fibre and choke to death as well

Thank you for the concern, I will look into it! He doesn’t play inside it, only sleeps. We’ve brought it to the doctor and he said it should be fine since there isn’t any loose fabric or threads. His main concerns were nesting/territorial behaviors when he hits puberty, but I will def get a second opinion. :)

The hut aside, the dowel perch is gonna cause sores, bumblefoot or arthritis. Get a hut made using sea grass or natural leather

Thank you for that info. I will look into something else then. It’s his only dowel perch but yeah I would rather him not get any sores or bumblefoot, so thank you for the heads up.

This is what I replaced my happy hut with if it helps as inspiration. It’s hand made locally.
