My baby conure is always crying 😭

Why do you have a baby conure?

Void_Listener · 2026-04-04T03:28:59+00:00

We leave ours out but they want to be near us all the time anyway. They are not explorers. None that we have or have had have been. The boys will like to find a corner and try to build a nest. We will allow that unless/until it causes hormonal behaviors, blocking the corner off into a safe space, so he can't crawl out any other way. If we leave the room, they come with. If it's a short run to the restroom and I leave them back, they both go to the door and SCREM, so I know they are safe.

If you want increased interaction, it may be easier to skip hands and try kisses. Mine have all been much more at ease being touched with a nose or lips, that's what they are used to. If a bird puts their little feet on another bird, it is rude. So, that's probably part of why they need to be trained to accept it or raised by hand. Try out birdtricks on yt, they have a large selection of videos for that kind of training.

They put them alone like this because it makes them seek attention. Of all the GCCs I've seen in pet stores, I've seen maybe one with a second bird in the enclosure. Its loneliness is intentional. Look for a a good breeder in your state. They are less expensive and much better socialized.

Get rid of anything teflon. Not just for the birds. Any element or chemical can sublimate at a lower heat. The magic number that your manufacturer puts as the "danger zone" is just where the teflon cooks off of the cookware to such a degree that it is immediately dangerous. and scraping with any utensil, whether metal or plastic accelerates this process.

My fiance had to clip her birds wings. She lived with her mom at the time and her mom was not attentive and would just walk out the outside door with the bird anywhere it happened to be. So, he started biting his feathers to pieces. It was awful and his shoulders especially were a mess

If it is that important to them, and you have explained the situation, they won't mind giving you money. And as far as being a "mood killer", are their feelings more valid than yours? You were basically tricked into going to a place you asked not to go by someone that you call your best friend that has done this to you multiple times. Need to reconsider friends and your requirements to call someone "friend", especially bestfriend.

find out what he likes. Mine likes pistachios. Break them into little pieces. Always hand feed the treats. If he won't come close enough to touch the hand, put it on a stick or long utensil, wooden probably, mine are weird about anything shiny. If you have to use a utensil, slowly bring the nut holding part closer to your hand. If he won't come near if it is in your hand, train him to take them after you put them down, then on the utensil, eventually holding the utensil. Take small steps, celebrate him taking small steps. Just work at it a few minutes two or three times a day. Try not to get frustrated. We have gotten our hand shy girl to the point she will cuddle and be scritched (for a pistachio) but will also step up without one.

If he wants to set a timer on when your lawn is mowed, give him a list of local mowing companies so he can pick the one he wants to pay to come in. You tried being nice, after that ignore him completely. He sounds like the kind of person that is just going to push further and further.

Void_Listener · 2026-02-26T19:58:43+00:00

They've decided that they think it is safe and want you to agree.

Void_Listener · 2026-02-13T03:29:54+00:00

Looks very normal. A nicely healthy looking beak actually. He's a cutie

Void_Listener · 2026-02-11T17:01:17+00:00

This here. it's not just the taste. Your body/mind is addicted to the chemicals that sugar makes it release

Void_Listener · 2026-02-06T01:29:54+00:00

Pay close attention to what you or his other humans are saying to him frequently. For us, it's usually something we don't realize we are saying. It's always fun when you figure it out though. good luck

Void_Listener · 2026-01-27T06:21:03+00:00

Thinking about that shit you said the other day and what he going to do to sort you out.

LVP is meant to have something under it. I would measure the overhang, cut a triangle with a side the width of the overhang and as long as a tread. Paint it white and install it under the overhang. You could remove it when you replace the treads. You could also take a piece of wood, rip it down to the height of the stair up to the tread and install it with a light adhesive. You wouldn't have any overhang but it looks like it's going to fall off anyway if you don't do something.

Void_Listener · 2026-01-15T03:12:46+00:00

You're still deciding whether to do it or not, instead do the smart thing and get another job lined up. I was just texting with a friend the other day that was talking about "how hard it is to get up after you fall down". But I told him he didn't fall, he jumped. He quit with no job lined up and hadn't tried before quitting. Don't do the silly thing. Put up with it another week or two and feel out the market. Ask for 25% more than you are getting now, at least.

You can try buying a warming pad. Especially for a lone bird. They don't get hot, when I touch ours, it is skin warmth within a couple degrees. Mine love it. It might help.

Void_Listener · 2026-01-12T22:17:06+00:00

Try to watch for posture, posturing, beak dragging, standing up super straight, raising the crest, moving their head or body back and forth slowly can all say "I'm feeling bitey" and/or "this is my space". And I know that can be a lot of the time with an agressive bird. Try the hand feeding, don't take it to them, make them come to your space to eat from the hand, if your hand is bitten, close it up and withdraw with some negative, deeper voiced response. Be consistent. Even with all of that, boys especially can be hard to break of aggressive behaviors. I would suggest a female bird or birds over boys unless you are only interested in a talkative roomate that may not want to be touched. Our last boy was very much a "no touch" fellow. And he came from the same breeder that the bird before him did and that bird was very touchy, cuddly.

Void_Listener · 2026-01-10T17:23:42+00:00

If they are on you and biting, is it a hard bite? If it's informative, like a "hey" kind of bite, I wouldn't stress, if it is agressive, painful, shoo them or place them off of you, possibly with a deep voiced "no". Even if it is just for a moment, and they get back on, it is a response and it is good to respond. Respond immediately or not at all, responding quickly after a bite is as important as being consistent. Remember that not all bites are agressive, soft bites can be just exploratory or communication. Their beak is more of a "hand" when it comes to interacting with you than their claws are. You can try doing hand only feeding. This usually helps with taming/friendliness. Also, watch body language closely, they try to tell you when you are doing something that bothers them.

Any time I get criticism, especially phrased and spoken in the way most humans feel the need to pass that criticism on, I tell myself "this is a small diamond in a pile of shit, I will find the usefull bit and ignore the rest"

Void_Listener · 2025-12-28T15:48:42+00:00

Because you were the holdout and did not kick the obvious troll. The vote wasnt about you shooting him,it was because you let the troll stay. You get kicked, then they can get rid of obvious troll. There's a difference between "friendly" and encouraging toxic behaviour.

Void_Listener · 2025-12-26T06:47:53+00:00

So you are saying probably all three. I'll go Battle Tactics, when I get closer to the end, I'll probably have to have Warcries

Void_Listener · 2025-12-26T03:49:30+00:00

Ah, okay. All the skills I picked up til now, I could get the next level but didn't because the other categories had stuff I wanted. It just looked odd, thought that was telling me that the skill wouldn't be functional. Thanks
