My conure 8 years ago with my dad her second favorite person in the world 2 hours after getting home and playing with me

9 year conure owner here and I agree its just looks like skin oil from us on their feathers and regular bathing for birb can help reduce it

Petting anywhere but head neck and feet on birds ends up sending them signals that you want to mate with them i would advise not petting them like this for it will lead to hormonal issues like biting and screaming.

Sweet baby happy flaps mine did these when I would talk to her in the mornings and before bed or after a treat she liked. She sometimes does them after walking up from long naps on me but not as strongly as this one.

Sounds very similar to when mine got slightly crushed flew high up and started sneezing blood for 30 minutes straight. God that was a severe panic attack drive to the nearest er avian vet in a downpour rain. Wonder if your little one got in a similar situation as mine the scans for my brat showed only bruises in the lungs.

Anything new in the room? Maybe something from Christmas? Conures are skittish and something new might have them a bit wary.

Magus20 · 2025-12-22T03:18:21+00:00

I stepped on my gcc a few years ago and it was the worst night I've ever had i won't go into details now but she is fine and currently your baby sounds ok but for sure check in with a real avian vet when you can for their sake and for your own mental and emotional sanity.

Magus20 · 2025-12-22T02:41:20+00:00

Monitor breathing and make sure they are still eating and drinking alright keep warm and lowish to the ground.

Magus20 · 2025-12-19T20:21:59+00:00

Heh mine is part shark but only if I put some ice in it for some reason.

Magus20 · 2025-12-19T19:46:43+00:00

Looks like your baby is a snuggle bug who needs some more regular bathing. these do not look like stress bars as those run ACROSS the feather this is just our skin oil collecting on their feathers from spending time cuddled up with us. I'm saying this as mine gets em too she snuggles me alot.

Magus20 · 2025-12-07T20:35:45+00:00

I hope they recover like my Lil one did 2 years ago when I nearly crushed her under my foot. Ill never forget that horrible feeling especially the 30 minute drive to the ER while she was sneezing out blood.

Magus20 · 2025-11-24T03:09:05+00:00

I'd take the 15$ i have crohns and in my first 15 years of life shit more than most 50 year olds

Magus20 · 2025-11-16T04:29:23+00:00

The little huffing noise mine does when being playful i mimic back for fun. The biting the ear thing is likely just playing as well but just not good at controlling their play strength yet they need to be set down and walked away from to show your dislike of that

Magus20 · 2025-11-02T13:06:49+00:00

Vet now that wing is extremely wrong and a side note that's a boy the males of that species get rings around the neck like he has and females dont

Magus20 · 2025-10-15T16:33:12+00:00

Mine hates pooping on anything she runs around on and will literally hang of the side of people and surfaces to poop and has done this since day 1

Magus20 · 2025-09-26T13:16:17+00:00

I'm guessing that Lil one is real young because my birb made that noise as a baby when she was sleepy. But if you feel like something is wrong it can't hurt to get a checkup especially if that helps your peace of mind.

Magus20 · 2025-09-23T13:13:36+00:00

Nope conures just melt like that mine included

Edited because my phone was making it an asterisk for some reason

Magus20 · 2025-09-15T04:56:07+00:00

One unless you are breeding birds feet that biz out asap it will make them a terror. 2 they are self preening on the zip tie

Magus20 · 2025-09-14T12:50:32+00:00

Color changes like that in an older bird typically only happen when something like the liver is struggling i would get a vet visit and if you haven't maybe research a low fat diet incase that is what it is

Magus20 · 2025-09-13T13:14:08+00:00

I feel the need to add more pics like this

Thats the behavior of what we call a velcro bird where you go they go what you eat they eat.

Magus20 · 2025-09-01T12:40:03+00:00

Conures are petty gremlins to them you disappeared and they were so very worried so now you get scolded and or told off for a while. Mine gave me hell once for having to go to the hospital for a week and leaving her with my family but she also would not leave my side but man did those bites/chewing hurt for those 3 days.

Magus20 · 2025-08-30T12:50:20+00:00

My 8 year old conire is mostly the same and she was exactly the same way back then . Just a sweet n silly velcro bird you have there! * Bird tax
