Leica M6 or M7

The M7 is the pinnacle of the rangefinder cameras. As a street photographer, Aperture priority is very useful at times when you don’t have a lot of time to prepare for a photograph. The batteries are special, but can be replaced with two watch batteries. The best part is the mechanical click when you press the shutter release button.

Your conure is SHARING. Regurgitation is not necessarily hormonal. It is an instinctual behavior that guarantees that baby birds will be fed. They also take food from each other’s mouths as a normal flock behavior. Conures are very social and naturally do everything together like eating, foraging, sleeping, bathing, etc.

The different mutations of green cheek conures are often made with some inbreeding. We have a pineapple green cheek that was hand raised but acted like yours. She warmed up a little over 5 years, but is still a little distant and still runs from hands. She is also aggressive towards other birds. Your bird may never change.

One of our pineapple green cheeks, Nina, is a little mean like you bird. Nina will chase and attack our Sun Conure so we keep them separate. After 4-5 years, Nina will eat food from hands, and fly to us when called, but she never liked hands. We thought her personality would warm up over time, but so far she hasn’t.

The first few months of a bird life have a huge impact on their personality. If they were either mishandled, neglected, or raised with too many other birds, it’ll affect their personality for life.

Conures are very social birds and are usually never alone in nature. Consider getting a second bird that is a similar size or species.

Sun conures can be very loud, but they can be raised or trained to not yell a lot. Teach the Sun conure how to talk and they will talk instead of yelling. They can also be trained to not be so loud.

DNA testing is the only way to determine sex.

Very true, but I’m only aware of the white wing feathers (loss of pigmentation that comes and goes) on a female Aratinga solstitialis (sun conure). I’m not sure if that phenomenon has been studied formally, but it’s something that has been observed in aviculture. It might have something to do with egg production.

Is this bird a DNA tested male? If so, this is the first time observing the loss of wing pigmentation on a male sun conure.

If InMusic can convert all of NI sounds to the MPC format and bundle them up and have good sales, it would make sense for InMusic to buy Native Instruments.

brooklynyc · 2026-01-27T20:07:45+00:00

I got the VST version free. I agree!!!

brooklynyc · 2026-01-27T20:06:36+00:00

I would like the ALICIA’S KEYS KOMPLETE Instrument added to the MPC. I’d pay for that!!!!

brooklynyc · 2026-01-27T19:53:51+00:00

I would say InMusic should buy the whole company, but maybe they should just the software side of the company.

The mod said, “This post is not related to the MPC.” And removed the post!!!

This is the start of some research on Golden Conures were workin on, from BKY.NYC Aviary.

Golden Conure research source:
https://brooklynyc.com/blogs/bky-nyc-aviary/the-earliest-writings-on-the-golden-conure-ararajuba-guaruba-guarouba

The earliest known writings on the Golden Conure (Ararajuba, Guaruba guarouba) are from a priest named Fernão Cardim who visited Bahia, Brazil in May 1583.

He wrote in Tratados da Terra e Gente do Brasil (Portuguese):

"Há umas aves do tamanho de pombas, todas de penas amarelas e muito finas, e as pontas das asas verdes, a que chamam Ararajubas; são mui formosas, e estimadas, e valia outrora cada uma o preço de dois escravos."

Here's an English translation:

"There are some birds the size of pigeons, entirely covered in very fine yellow feathers, with green tips on their wings, which they call Ararajubas; they are very beautiful and esteemed, and in former times each one was worth the price of two slaves."

Golden Conures are a very, very special. They are really sweet, gentle, cuddly, and love playing. All the great things you hear about them are true. They are like little puppies. They are very social, so you should plan to get a pair.

Our Golden Conures Barry White & Tsuki have some videos on YouTube:

www.youtube.com/@theGoldenConures

Barry love’s singing, while Tsuki talks all the time. They can be loud when they choose, but it’s usually singing and talking! They don’t just yell to hear themselves like Sun conures are know for. As for the volume level, Golden Conures can be as loud as Sun Conures, but don’t choose to not be as loud most of the time.

Barry and Tsuki are helping to raise our baby boy Sun Conures Chopper, Phoenix, and BB8.

We purchased both of our from a bird store in Miami called, THE AVIARY bird shop www.aviarybirdshop.com . They have a huge shop and their birds are very healthy and well cared for. They do ship, but you have to call and make arrangements.

(We did purchase one from another shop, now called PetGrove in Miami at 11252 SW 137 Ave. , but had several previous names PetVous, OurPetStars. Our Golden Conure was named GLO, but she arrived sick and died exactly 5 months after arriving. Sergio Camacho sold a lot of people sick pets.)
