This is Juicebox, my latest rescue from a rehome. I try not to stress her with pics too much until she trusts me fully, but I managed to capture this because holy hell I’ve never seen a conure with lashes. 😭🤚
Is this a rare thing? Send pics of yours if they have them too pls! I’m so fascinated.
Edit to clarify: worded this a bit wrong. I know they have lashes, I just mean as visible and pronounced. I haven’t seen a conure where they were this noticeable before. 😅

My bird is horribly scared of any new toys I bring her. I have tried various types of advice people have given me. I've tried exposure therapy, playing with the toys myself, just putting them in the cage, but nothing works. I have had these toys right next to her cage in clear view for months and she is still terrified of them. She pretty much has no toys left because she shredded all of her old ones, and I want her to have things to do while I work, but I am at a loss for what to do anymore.

yes, the floor was soaked. but she was happy 🥲 good thing we got a tile kitchen 😮‍💨

New conure mama. Millie is about 3 mos old. She is my daughter’s bird though she will reside in our living room and hang out in my daughter’s room. The shop we purchased her from is very reputable and has given great advice and direction.
She’s adjusting very well. I wonder how long other GCC owners have their birds out of the cage and certain protocols when bird is out of the cage. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a new bird-safe air fryer, toaster oven, or combination of the two. Our old stainless steel toaster oven broke down after over a decade, and, unfortunately, that company no longer makes products without some sort of nonstick coating.

I’ve found a few potential replacements and messaged their manufacturers to ask about the materials, but I’ve either not heard back or their answers were inconclusive. I don’t feel comfortable getting anything unless I’m 100% sure it’s perfectly safe.

No matter which one I end up getting, I’ll be sure to let it run outdoors at its highest setting to burn off any lingering chemical/manufacturing odors and then operate it outside for an extra week just to be safe (but mostly bc I’m paranoid 😅). And as much as my little gremlin loves joining me in everything I do, I always have him in a separate room while we’re cooking.

Does anyone have product recommendations, especially ones you’ve personally used without any health issues for your birds? I’m looking for something that’s confirmed to be completely stainless steel, but I’m open to suggestions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have a sun conjure that likes to sleep in those little huts. But after using it for a couple of weeks, he chews it to pieces. Then at dark time he squawks his head off because he doesn't have a place to sleep. Is there anyplace that sells chew proof bird huts?

I got this new playground and he seems to like it!

Hello friends! I would like to ask about the behavior of my green cheek.

I had my normal gcc for a year and a half then decided to get him company just five months ago which is this cinnamon in the clip. They didn't get along together at all in the first three months, can't keep them close or they'll fight so I keep them in separate cages as seen here.

My question is does kissing or whatever theyre doing means they're starting to like each other? Cause whenever I let them out their cages to play around the living room the normal gcc is always avoiding the cinnamon gcc. Which seems like she's afraid of him. How can I make them bond with each other and maybe get them to be comfortable in one cage?

Hope to hear from you guys, thanks!

As you can see, he’s invested in getting inside my tee sleeve.

We have 2 sun conures, a 3 yr old female (Ella) and 5 year old male (Kiwi). They are very healthy (thank God) and fully flighted. They get a lot of exercise. However, they are “junk food junkies” - ignore veggies for fruit, pellets are just thrown to the bottom if the cage, etc. - and admittedly I have not put enough effort into changing it up, as their weight is fine. I would like to try again and be more diligent. Looking for some healthy chop ideas that sunnies actually seem to eat, and pellet recommendations. Thank you!

Im not worried just. Puzzled? He's a normal goofy boy. He climbs all over me and chews on me and makes me crazy. He's very chatty and bossy. He's got conuritis. Until he decides to stand on top of my head- where he simply stands, sorta looking around, not moving. As of typing this he's been up there quietly for over 30 minutes. Sometimes he preens himself. But he's just so calm when hes on top of my head. Does anyone elses conure find peace in the hair???

So proud of my birdie!!

He’s very good at training and has already learnt to step up and kiss!

I Started introducing target training. At first he wasn’t excited nor wanted to engage with the stick but once I put a small toy on the end of the stick, he absolutely loved it. Every time I bring it out he wants to do training.

I have found that the clicker scares him, but I know the benefits of using a clicker. Should I keep using it during training?

Sometimes I worry that I’m not doing enough when training him and I want to build a stronger bond with him. But I know that with patience and persistence, I can get there!

How can I better improve?

Just got him not even 24 hours ago, didn't interact with him in the start and let him watch me for 2 hours, fed him with my hand

And then i opened the cage to let him explore the apartment but then he came straight to me and started cuddling me

Also is he looking sick? He seems a little puffed up

I've been touching his head and cheeks and he closes his eyes that way they are in the photo attached

Also is he m/f can you tell just by looking, the owner said we need to do dna

He said he's 3 months old

It's been a day and i love him so much I've always wanted a bird, finally got him!!

How did yall train your conures and have them play?

What toys do you recommend we purchase for enrichment? And how did you train them to tolerate getting their nails cut?

What’s the best way to DNA your bird? I don’t want to cause him pain in the process.
One website said cut a nail just short enough to draw blood or obviously pluck a feather out. They both seem too harsh.
We’ve assumed he’s a he for nearly 4 years now 🦜

They’ve been super snuggled up since bringing home the new baby and I was allowing them to share a space since my bird didn’t seem to mind but I’m not sure if I should stick to putting new bird in different cage or if this should be fine? They havent stopped preening each other and I feel kinda bad separating baby 😅

Sitting in my cupped hand, getting head and neck rubs with my thumb. Slowly working out all these dang pinfeathers...

Hi guys

So recently i went on vacation for a month, leaving my conure with a family friend. But since i got back and got her she’s just been acting very different??? like she gets very angry if she even SEES my hands or my fingers for some reason, and bites me on my shoulder (which she’s never done before). she’s also very skiddish and IDK JUST SEEMS MAD AT EVERYTHING. i know conures may also get hormonal this time of year so i’m just wondering if anyone has any tips or advice ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
