A friend recently gave my wife the present of a young but very beautiful Sun Conure, we named him Popeye, my first thoughts were, "gee, that's all we need..a parrot to look after'....he's 6 months old now and I wouldn't part with him for all the tea in China, he's an amazing character. friendly, sociable..heck he evens sleeps with my wife, fights with my toes on the bed in the morning and is just a huge character, he's also a guard-parrot with a built in clock...he knows my wife gets home at 4pm every day...and shouts loudly for her just as she's ready to come thru' the door.

He isn't talking much yet...well in his own language he is...but we're persisting with him.

Being a dog man...I never thought I'd love a parrot so much

I purchased two newly weened sunnys and they are wonderful. I could not choose between the two. Since they were the only ones left I got them both. They are really playful and if one makes a particular sound the other is sure to follow. They are extremely affectionate toward me and each other but at times there seems to be a bit of jealousy when one is getting more attention over the other but it is quickly dispelled. They will tumble over the top of one another when I am playing with them on the floor or bed and they will scratch and pick at one anothers feathers so gently that it makes them puff up. They have included me in this ritual. They pick through my hair as if it were feathers. They will roll over on their backs and allow me to stroke them with a finger during all of this. I really enjoy their company and it can be a really good stress reliever.

I just added (one day) a new family member, Sweet Pea (Cinnamon GC) to our extended family of two cocaktiels (Sunny (M) & Puffy (F) and a Green Cheek Conure (Coconut - F) and praying that Sweet Pea gets along w/the other family members, especially Coconut. So far they have been very aggressive towards one another during play time which I am montioring closely. They are a great joy. Hopefully, we can all get along?

I have been given what is believed to be a sun conure, the only thing is his head is cream intead of yellow and all of his other colours are not as vivid as other sun conures. Could you please tell me what I might have.

Well my jenday conure, kewi, is roughly a year old but she nips hard sometimes, takes after my sister. But does anyone know how to train them not to bite, I mean probably not completely that would be amazing, but when she bites I put her back in her cage. Is this the right thing to do or should I do something different?
Don't get me wrong though, she is so sweet when she wants to be, believe kewi knows how to creep and generally she is a very loving parrot. Her personality is a lot like my sisters, almost exactly. We both are trying to tame her more, and squaking as well, is becoming a problem, if you have any idea please get back to me!

I was given a lovely Jenday a few weeks ago she is absolutely gorgeous and keeps trying to feed me (which is not very nice). She hates being in her cage and has to be out all the time or she shrieks and screams. I am going to have to buy a huge perch for her. My son adores her too, and she is very playful, but nippy

I have a nanday conure and his name is Paulie, I love him so dearly, he talks a little and barks like a little puppy and he even loves to dance to music. Paulie is the Boss around here at night. When he say's goodnight, it's goodnight! He wants the lights out. I would Love to get him a female mate for him. Fran

I wouldn't trust that Tango's flock. While they provided us a great bird, they don't provide good customer service and once they got paid, they don't care.

Skittles is my conure's name. He is half Jenday and half Sun conure. He is 5 months old, he is very inquisitive and very playful. Any opportunity he has to spend time with us is welcomed immensely. He will do anything for attention. I've never had a bird before, but Skittles has made a bird lover out of me.

I would love to purchase a Halfmoon Conure if anyone knows of any.
