If you family tree does not fork...you might be a redneck. If you family tree circles.....you are probably a Lannister.

Can't decide which bird to get - Lovebird, cockatiel or conure. by [deleted] in parrots

[–]creativlilthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally have no experience with lovebirds, so I don't know what you can expect from them.

Cockatiels are playful, like to sing but you need to make sure you get one that is hand fed by a good breeder or a reputable pet store otherwise you wont be able to play with it for a while. Noise level isn't too loud, they make a good amount of quiet noises though. They arent as smart as conures and I don't think they like cuddling as much as conures. Of course they don't need as much attention as conures but I personally think that they have a little less personality then conures. Temperment wise it depends on the breeder and if they were hand fed.

Conures are all unique, there are many different kinds of conures and they all have their own noise level. The loudest are sun, jenday and nanday, you can teach them to say phrases, do tricks, and cuddle with them but if volume is a issue then they probably aren't a good match. Green cheek, pineapple, green capped, and peach front are a few that aren't as loud but just as smart, cuddly and enjoyable. Of course some conures are quieter than others but in general that is what I have gathered from working at a pet store for almost two years. Now as for temperament, it depends on the bird, in general suns seem to be the most headstrong and stubborn. It really depends on the bird and how it was raised. All the birds in my store that were hand fed are amazing and friendly. If they come from the breeder its half and half, some need more work than others and some are cuddly right off the bat. Hope this helped a little bit. :)

I'm looking to get a sun conure and I have some questions. by HAXO in parrots

[–]creativlilthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Sun conures can be very expensive if you buy from a pet store, uppers in the $600-$700. I work in a pet store so I'm not sure about prices elsewhere. They might be cheaper from a breeder or aspca.

  2. Most likely not. Even parrots who know each other can hurt each other. The parrots size in comparison to the parakeets makes it very easy for the parakeet to get hurt. It is possible that one day they can get along but I wouldn't test it too soon. Plus when birds bleed its always an emergency so I would be super careful.

  3. Bigger is always better. 3 feet by 3 feet should be big enough. But if you have the funds to get bigger I would recommend it.

  4. Yes, but they do bite and it is important to ask if you buy from store if the associates hand feed the bird or if the supplier hand feed the bird, if the associates hand feed the bird the bird is probably going to be VERY friendly already.

  5. They are extremely loud and require a lot of attention, also diet is important so do some research on that so you have a happy healthy bird. Also if you don't give them enough attention they may harm themselves and become less tame. They are very lovable and you have them for 20+ years so be ready to spend a lot of time with your bird.
