I have a gorgeous GCC that is now about just under a year old. He's become the whole families favourite pet. Whenever you walk past his cage he bobs up and down and tries desperately to try and fly to you even tho he can't lol. He dances to whistling and makes a variety of sounds, he loves it when we take him outside and he can listen to the bell birds in the wild. He has grown very attached to the women in our family and 'defends' them from anyone coming too close by, puffing up his chest. He loves to help out with household chores, e.g. sitting down your top with his head poking out while you are ironing or doing the dishes. He loves to have a snuggle with my mum and our cat when night time comes around, the cat is like his idol, he worships him! He makes little cooing noises when he's falling asleep and will gladly sleep on anyone. He enjoys sitting at the door of his cage and throwing corn out onto the floor and LOVEs eating twisties (well not so much eating but chewing into tiny crumbs) He's the light of our lives!

I have a 2year old sun conure called Chucky. He is ectremely cute. His wings are unclipped so he flies around in the house and can be quite a pest sometimes. He helps himself to food on the table and often fiddles with the buttons on the television set. He once managed to up the volume so loud that he and Koko, the african grey, got a big fright from the noise. He likes to sleep under my duaghter's clothes and get's annoyed when disturbed. My son oftens teases him, therefore he is the only one that gets bit. Anyone eating chips is his buddy because that's his ultimate favourite.

I have a pair of sun conures that are breeding age. The female will lay but will not always set the eggs nor has she ever hatch any. I have breed cochtail,parateek, love birds, afarcin gray finches, pigon, and just about any birds that I wanted to with sucess. My only problem is I am having trouble with my sun conures. Help! They will eat just about anything that I give them.What am I doing wrong and what can I do to help them? Do they need a cerntain vitiam or what?

I have a GCC, called Fife, now for about 2years and I'm only 13years old. She is wonderful, She has grown very attached to me, and she can't stand to be with anyone else. She hates it when I beat box, and she sings and dance along with the music I play. She likes going up my sleeve, when she was about a month old, and that has expanded to be being down my top. Any loud noises, she will also make her fair share of loud noises. She gives lots of Kisses and snuggles up with you. She flys after me too.
Though of course there are the bad bits; She bites very hard if she get angry (but we need to clip her beak), she is loud, and she always wants to be with you.
If you can't be with them everyday, place a carboard box in her cage of some sort and that will keep them busy.
I have heard that they go through their terrible twos, so I am waiting for that.

But if you can ignore those bad bits, then she is the best bird that you could ever have.
My family had cockatoos, Cockatiels, budgies and a few chicks, but this bird beats all of them.

I bought a GC Conure on 1-30-09 from a pet store and in her cage she was being such a clown. So as you might say, she won my heart. She was really timid at frist but once I had her wings clipped she warmed up to me quick. She loves to ride on my shoulder and on top of my head. She is only 7 months old and I named her Baby. I have never owned a conure before, but I am ready for the challenge.

After almost 9 months, I realized that my local pet store sold me a Jenday instead of a Sun. There does not seem to be any difference other than the coloring and I did not find out the difference until I was looking thru a pet products book and saw my bird in one of the photos. Conner (not very original) is the sweetest, noisiest, and most beautiful bird I have ever had. He lives in perfect harmony with my two cockatiels, one of which I have had for 15 years. They all love flying around the screened-in patio area for hours at a time. I think this space and the comments of the other bird lovers is great for all of us. Thanks, Chip

When I was about 12 my parents adopted a red-masked conure for me. We don't know how old he is and when we got him he didn't have a name so we named him Sole(so-LAY). We were told his previous owner never took good care of him and often ignored him and would sometimes treat him badly. When he came he came in this ugly, old, dirty cage along with a parakeet, which we also adopted. We all thought that given the kind of conditions he was living in before he'd be a little mean and would attack us anytime we got near. However, the moment my brother brought him in he started to show off by hanging upside down in his cage, hanging by his beak and even trying to imitate me and when I opened his cage he immediately flew out to greet me by nuzzling my cheek.
I've now had Sole for four, nearly five, years. He is a tremendous joy in our family and often is referred to by my mother as a mama's boy because he is very attached to me as I am to him. He is very intelligent and is able to say many things however he prefers not to. Sole enjoys singing along to Mariah Carey, playing in water and even likes to look at books(and then chew on them). He also gets along very well with our other pet birds and even lets them boss him around even though they're all much smaller than he is. (: He is also very affectionate and loves to give and receive kisses. :) He has such a great personality and I'm so glad I have him. :)

Our Jenday, Gizzy, got out late one afternoon and headed for the sunset. We do not clip her wings. I looked until it got dark and then just came home. I got up the next morning and drove around the neighborhood, just listening. She is very loud and if she squawked, I would hear her. Sure enough, I heard her! She was up in a globe willow that looked just like the one in my back yard. The owners of the house did not speak English, but let me crawl out onto their garage roof. Gizzy was very happy to see me and was singing and whistling but was afraid to let go of the tree branch to fly to me. My next door neighbor was out looking too and stopped. She handed me a branch, which I whacked the limb Gizzy was on. Off she flew! "Where's she headed?" I yelled to my neighbor. She yelled back," Straight to you!". And here comes Gizzy, wings out-stretched, feet full forward, Wham onto my chest and straight down my shirt, singing and whistling. She loves to be inside one of our shirts. We have "bird clothes" so she can snuggle and coo. Yes, she's spoiled rotten!
