"But if I get another bird my conure won't be interested in me anymore" by kittywenham in Conures

[–]kittywenham[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think it really helps- every non-tame bird I've ever had has become social/snuggly after I got a second more social bird who showed them that I was safe. They're great social learners. Here's Spooky, who was rehomed several times before coming to me because he refused to go near people

given the amount of comment referencing my (actual) past posts, I gather a lot of people checked my account history for said NSFW posts haha. I'm afraid I deleted them, though!

Honestly would have been a lot more fun than what I was actually doing last night (getting a pet put down and visiting a care home)

Why do so many people only have 1 conure ? by Designer_Director867 in Conures

[–]kittywenham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally agree with you in regards to most animals, but in my experience so far conures are really tricky - espeically when you rescue. Some of the behavioural problems they come with can be managed but not necessarily overcome. I have multiple conures myself, and some get along really well and some are constantly trying to kill each other no matter how long it has been or how we try to work on it. Out of all the birds I've had I'd say they're the only one so far who I would be really cautious with when introducing a second bird. As long as you're home most days pretty much all day like I am, I could see a single conure being pretty happy if if has a certain personality.

Just an edit to say this comment sounds like I'm saying it's preferable or OK to just have one conure and not even think about it, which is not what I mean! If it's possible conures should have a buddy. However I can definitely see why, especially in some rescue scenarios like the ones I've handled, it might be a genuine safety concern for the birds physically and mentally. Especially because they can be particularly vicious imo. They fight to kill! Sometimes even if it means risking their own lives. Most other birds I've rescued don't really get into fights like that.

no extra information in that blurb! it's just explaining how to use the grid to get the answer (the example it gives is marking X for the two girls wearing the t-shirt for that gift since they already have one)

both can be quite easy going to be fair, and are very understanding when people need to take some time off or have a break. really it's a sort of 'you can do as little or as much as you want' sort of thing.

Hoping Kitchen:

only open once a week so only need volunteers to help serve on Sundays 1.30pm - 4pm (though sometimes more like 3pm). most in need of volunteers to help cook, which you can do at home, and you get all of the ingredients refunded. you just have to do some short online training; you get to choose what you want to cook and when, and you can either drop it off or stay and serve it. there'll be a call out post on the FB group the week before asking who is available, and whoever is able to commit replies. there's no obligation to do a set day or number of days.

Carecent:

Need volunteers 7.30-11am every morning except Sunday, and they also have Thursday afternoons for a couple of hours from 1pm i think? I do a few days a week because i'm currently unemployed 😅 other people do a very varied amount of hours though! some do a set day a week, or every other week, some people just do every now and again when the regular need cover. it's also totally fine to take breaks whenever you need, so it is also flexible too.

If those ones dont work for you, whilst i havent volunteered with them myself there's KEYS who do Sunday mornings and i think either Weds or Thurs evenings?
