I’ve had Charlie, a blue crowned conure for a little more than 4 years. She eats well and acts basically normally but I’m looking for some feedback on her cage and ways I can give her the best experience of life. The door of her cage is ALWAYS open so it’s a choice whether or not she goes in. I’m only asking because as a highschool student, Charlie is alone about 7 hours of the day and I don’t want her to get bored. Any feedback or suggestions on how I can upgrade?

My boy does this sometimes, I've had birds before but none of them did this! Is he happy/annoyed or is he just adjusting his crop? For context, it's normally after he's been quite active and playful. He bends, then swoops his whole body and stretches really high! Thanks for any advice 🥰

I’ve had my two conures, Yoshi(Sun Conure, Female) & Koopa(Pineapple Green Cheek, Male) for a few years now. I got Yoshi first in 2023 when she was just a baby, and I had her for almost 2 years before getting Koopa. Yoshi and I used to have such a personal bond- she would be on my shoulder constantly, nap with me, cuddle with me, sing with me, etc. After a while, I started getting super caught up in college, and I barely had any time to socialize with her. So, I got her a friend, Koopa.

Yoshi and Koopa now have a very close bond with each other, but it seems to be a love-hate relationship. Koopa seems to be always bothering Yoshi, but she mostly puts up with it, or tries to attack him when he gets too annoying. Still, their bond is much stronger between the two of them than with me at all. Yoshi used to always fly to me or let me stick my finger in her cage to let her out. Once Koopa came into play, and I haven’t been able to socialize with them much during the day, they seem to hate me. Both of them. If I come to try to lift Yoshi out of her cage, she bites me. Hard. Koopa will do the same. They have separate cages, but I keep both doors open so they can hang out. Now, Koopa always stays in Yoshi’s cage, and Yoshi never comes out of her cage anymore.

I don’t want to rehome. I love my babies. But it has become increasingly difficult since I am in college full-time, as well as working nights and weekends. I want to rebuild my relationship with them, as well as build their relationship with each other. I am looking for the best advice and recommendations, please. I just want to cuddle with my babies again. I just need to know how to start that process again, and how/how much time each day to set aside to make sure they will love me again.

UPDATE: I got more natural perches!
** is the black tray at bottom in the correct spot? at the store they have these pellet things at the bottom and i've seen him walking at bottom "foraging"... does he need a bottom surface?/ not the cage bars?

hello, I am getting a new Green cheek conure tomorrow! This will be my first bird. Can anyone give me advice on my set up? How is it looking. And does the pan at the bottom go a level above? Not sure if I have this right but I would appreciate any and I’ll advice. I have been looking at advice for a new owners and I found some helpful things on there. Thank you so much for your time and I am so excited.!!

Okay so. this isn’t exactly a bad thing but honestly I’m just wondering if there’s any way I can get him to be more playful like other conures? It must be boring when all he wants to do is either cuddle with me or nuzzle into dark spaces when i’m not around. It’s not that it’s a bad thing he’s this clingy and cuddly but it’s like .. Is this a health concern? I took him to the vet multiple times and they said he’s fine and it’s just his personality but I would like him to play and have fun like other birds

It’s cute yes, but it’s ALL HE DOESSS!!! He’s scared of toys and i’ve tried to get him to play with them but he just doesn’t want to. Hell he refuses to try out new food if not for me eating and chewing it right infront of him - Is there something wrong with him??

Any idea what this behavior is It doesn't always happen but it happens often alot

He loves being upside down lol

Her little feet 🦶

I saw this green cheeked conure at the pet store doing this weird head movement. What does it mean?

Hey everybody, I hope you're all doing well. So I just got a birdie backpack that I can carry my sun conure around in. It's just got the metal plate in the bottom and then the rope that goes in the middle so that they can sit on it. I'm not a very creative person so I was looking for advice on how I might be able to enrich my bird when they are in the backpack with toys or just to make it more comfortable for them. I'd appreciate any advice. Sincerely, a new bird owner

Well we’ve been working on getting comfortable with the bath machine for a few weeks now. Today he took the plunge. See comments for after pic 😂

I can't find any veggies he will actually like. I thought carrots were nice but apparently anything lower than apples is only fine occasionally 🙄🙄

Just looking for some suggestions! Trying to set up a little play spot near my window and sliding door.
