r/Conures

But it does get a little painful after a bit.

He better not be doing anything filthy what is this.

pickle tax! I will only be taking .5 photos of him from now on out.

I am not Ron but my heart goes out to him. Jasper Goodboy is still missing. If anyone is in the area please keep your eyes peeled.

I heard Ron is extending his stay to keep looking for Jasper Goodboy.

I went out a couple times looking for him but didn't see him in the area. I've never had a pet bird before though so maybe someone who has, like you guys, would be able to provide some knowledge or insight or anything helpful really.

The one thing I will say is we have had consistent rain and it's berry/ fruit/ nut season here so if he was going to survive days away from home I feel like now is the time for him to most likely make it. Iirc he's been gone like a week now but I'm just passing along the word I don't have any details much beyond what's in the poster.

Thanks guys!

I can’t tell if these are normal honks or if he is trying to “say it”

Ruby is my sister’s bird who I come see every few days. I think she was happy to see me today lol.

Zuko was introduced to the shower today- he was lukewarm to it at first, then started going further down my arm to get in the splash zone UNTIL this goober decides to flutter down onto the shower floor and get full blasted with the water 😭

Needless to say he was done with shower time- so...gave him a nutriberry for a treat and we'll try again in a couple of days 😂

We got ducky about a week ago, she is a lutino dusky conure from petco. I do not buy from petco (for obvious reasons) but the manager didn't take the health of this bird seriously given her condition even after I spoke to her. I was told by a worker she had an incident with a toy and went to the vet, the manager thought claimed "a clean bill of health" I assumed the black thing under her beak was some sort of stitching situation but I have now noticed it leads into her mouth.

I'm not sure what it is, it's not causing her pain because I can poke and move it without her reacting. I'm worried it's something that it's a like piece of toy that was left there, it's hard to get a pic u can try to get a video if anyone needs. I have a lot of experience with birds so i just need info on what exactly I should do.

Edit: finally have appointment for next Monday, the woman I spoke with said to monitor her. They aren't super worried rn because she is very active and isn't showing any signs of distress, as well as eating and drinking plenty.

After 3 weeks away from Chilli, I have returned and he has taken my hand prisoner for the day. Wife and kids did a good job while I was away but nothing hits like my cuddles apparently.

Saw a video on Instagram displaying one of these. It seemed like an AI voiceover so ofc not trusting that source, so I decided to look it up and found only Amazon, Walmart, and Temu (who the hell buys products for their birds off TEMU??!!) so I don’t know how to feel about this now?

I have often seen my conure rubbing his beak on the cage after eating as if he’s trying to get the food off or maybe grind his beak?? So when I saw this I thought it would be perfect for him?! I don’t really want to buy from any of those sources ofc, but a regular pumice stone in his cage doesn’t work/he doesn’t pay mind to it so a bowl shaped pumice that he eats out of seems like it would work? Idk, I’m just trying to get advice/opinions before I do anything and thought this would be a good place for that. Thanks!!

Edit: after looking again, it seems like since it’s very porous, it probably would hold bacteria, no? Maybe not for water or fruits/veggies, but maybe for seeds/pellets?

Hi guys. I woke up to find our sun conure limping and unable to weight bear on his right foot. I am very worried about him and very sad to see him like this. We are unsure what could have caused this. We have taken him to an avian vet who prescribed some anti inflammatory medicine for a week. If there’s no improvement we have been advised to go back for an xray. Has anyone come across a situation like this before? Any possible causes? Does anyone have any advice on the meantime to help with the parrots recovery? We have kept him inside his cage to prevent flight to allow him to rest his injured foot.

got them yesterday. they hate being inside the cage, love strawberries and being a little menace. they are so comfortable already 🥹

He went full feral mode the moment he saw the napkin and released all it's cropped-up rage
