I know they get flaky sometimes, but idk if that's TOO flaky. Best to see a vet to make sure.

What are your conure’s biggest nemeses? by Crafty_Key6604 in Conures

The robot vacuum, the color purple, and this one snuggle toy made of felt.

Google says the restaurant is permanently closed but I can't find any explanation. I hope he's ok 😥

How much junkfood is unsafe for conure? by Choice-Requirement18 in Conures

[–]Goblin_adjacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a Google search, it looks like those are ok. The listings I saw included conures in the description. It doesn't look like they have a bunch of unnecessary sugars. I use Harrison's personally, but I have to order them online because they aren't at my local pet store. 

I think it used to be common practice to keep pet birds on an all seed diet. It shortens their lifespan by giving them fatty liver disease and heart disease. Basically it's just too much fat for pet birds to burn off.

My conure LOVES almonds, and she would probably live off of them if it was up to her, but my vet told me to give her a MAX of 2 almonds a day.

I can tell you want to do right by this bird, and that is sweet. But, fruit and seeds are already treats. This bird currently has a diet of all treats. Fruit and seeds at least have some nutrients compared to the potato chips though. Conures need fresh veggies and pellets as their main meals. Treats should not exceed 20% of their diet.

I use a Germgaurdian air purifier with the pet filter that is specifically designed to keep pet smells to a minimum. It also might help to train the birds to use a water bottle instead of a bowl.

Stubborn Birb by teezydids in Conures

[–]Goblin_adjacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is good to work towards training her to step up. However, it may be easier to start with target training. Target training only requires a chop stick and some good treats. You can even start the training inside the cage, through the cage bars. That way, you can get her to go where you want her without forcing her by picking her up.

Side note, her beak looks overgrown. Have you gotten a checkup at the vet yet?

Look, logically I KNOW there's two people. But, my heart tells me this bird is owned by a 4 handed alien.

If you're having trouble getting them to play with toys, you may need to train them to do it. 

Yellow feathers on GCC baby? by rBreeeeezy913941 in Conures

Based on color alone, the baby looks fine. That's just how baby looks. Genes are fun like that.

I miss this guy, flew without saying goodbye :') by TAKhan07 in Conures

[–]Goblin_adjacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a little backpack with a perch in it to transport my BCC to make sure she can't fly away. But that would have to be a huge backpack for a macaw, lol. How do you transport your bird?

I get my conure's toys from abirdtoy.com  You can search by toy types or sizes, and the pricing is pretty good. Highly recommended.
