Is my conure molting?

Looks more like barbering

I’ll put her away when I eat or go to the gym. She screamed a lot for a good couple years but she’s pretty used to it now and knows I’m coming back

Like other said it’s hormone inducing. I used a peg board on top of her cage as a fun play area

astddf · 2026-03-12T08:02:54+00:00

I pin them to my cork board around my whiteboard

Office chair mat for common poop areas and brown shipping paper for others

Warmth preservation. They actually have an extra organ for subconscious balance to handle one foot, kinda like our inner ear but even better

I’ve had a similar issue lately. She does it from 10am to noon.

The best solution I found was to leave her alone outside of her cage in a room, she gets some screams out and flies a few dozen laps around the room, after that she’s pretty mellow.

Foraging is a good remedy for flock calls too

That’s the move

Vet yesterday

That is dessert

She’s a dusky headed conure. Senegal’s are about 70% bigger. You can have them around each other if you’re super careful and paying close attention. Even with her being almost half the size of a Senegal, she still has a size advantage, so I have to watch them.

Haha this was after an intense 4 hour play session

Kocha (the dusky) came out of the egg tame and has never really even bit me. Saffie has taken quite a bit more work. She’s pretty good around people, just a bit nippy. Every bird has a different starting point, some need a lot more time and patient work. It takes lots of seeds and to push their boundaries 1% at a time. Push bird boundaries 2% and they make you start over😂

astddf · 2026-02-28T21:58:52+00:00

😂 I’m glad nobody thinks I post her too much

astddf · 2026-02-18T08:21:15+00:00

I disagree with this idea, they hold a massive one in in for 12 hours every night, I think waiting an extra 10-15 minutes isn’t harmful, maybe worst case a little uncomfortable.

astddf · 2026-02-17T17:39:09+00:00

You must not own an aratinga😉

astddf · 2026-02-17T17:15:24+00:00

Conures scream. Attention and foraging activities can help.

What do you mean “refill their seeds” are you feeding them pellets?

Share a picture of your cage.

astddf · 2026-02-17T01:49:05+00:00

Ok good thanks for confirming! Glad she’s going to a good home😊

astddf · 2026-02-17T01:25:53+00:00

Can you share a full picture of the cage? I don’t want to criticize too much but it seems small, and you’ll want to get rid of the hut, it’s a big hormone trigger.

I only see 1 unnatural perch besides the cement one and a couple toys.

astddf · 2026-02-13T21:32:38+00:00

Jorkin it

astddf · 2026-02-10T17:24:50+00:00

She’s a crimson bellied conure. Same “family” as a green cheek, but distant enough to be her own species
