10 Things you NEED to know about SUN CONURES

There's a lot to know about sun conures; they are long-term pets. Did you know they can live 25-30 years! If you want a sun conure. be prepared for the responsibility and understand their personalities, needs, and care requirements for a long healthy, and happy life! They are big personalities in little bodies. :)

Please make sure to follow appropriate care guidelines and spend time bonding with your bird each day. If you don't, your bird may become aggressive towards you, they can become depressed, and this leads to feather plucking and other behaviours. It's important to do your research before bringing a conure home.

Our sun conure, Carlos, can say: night-night, thank you, bye-bye and recently he has started saying..hi baby. Carlos is 12 yrs old and is the perfect traveling companion in our motorhome. He loves it!

He drives me nuts! But than he starts to cuddle and be cute and he steals my heart

[brendapineda]

I bought mine at a pet store, I believe he had previous owners that gave him up becausei noticed he has abandonment issues.He only wants to be with me, and screams as soon as he hears my voice. Makes me tear up, I’m unemployed right now so we spend most of the day together. He’s going to be so sad when I get a job 😭😭😭. But I have a big family to keep him company!

I'm very fortunate to share my life with a gorgeous Gold Cap Conure. He can get loud. I use a light blanket over his cage when he's constantly screaming. The covering quiets him down. I make sure that I remove the blanket when he's quiet, and that seems to work. To me, his loud vocals are WHO HE IS, and because I love him, I definitely accept his loud vocals. Conures are everything you described, thank you so much for your video. I would love to see your tips for quieting things down. Thanks again.

Lol! I find it funny how my parents’ Sun Conure got her name. Her name is Cuddles. And man, she is annoying! Yet she loves listening to my piano playing. Even when I was little many years ago, she kept watching me when I was playing with my toys. Nice to see Mango though. Kind of did not have a choice as a kid when getting adopted to a family who already owns Cuddles and previously had two love birds.

Ours flew in to our business. 😳 He’s still kinda scared but now gets on my arm. And slowly building trust.

I just found your channel looking for advice and info on sun conures. We just got ours yesterday (8/27/23) & we absolutely love her! Our son is 11 & has had a lutino cockatiel (our very first bird) since March. We were at a bird supply shop yesterday to buy seed and toys and saw that they had LOTS of birds for sale that are all hand raised by the owner of the store. We ended up with a 4 month old female (she was hatched on April 1, 23) & our son named her Salsa, (our cockatiel's name is Chip & our son loves Mexican food so we now have Chip & Salsa😂as pets)

Sun conures have a 104% chance of being named Mango

Mango is adorable!! I've had my sun conure, Lester, for almost 4 years now and he's a handful, but I absolutely love him!! They are incredible animals and I could cuddle him all day! lol. What veggies do you use in his chopped up mixture? Lester isn't super crazy about veggies, but he loves fruit! Watermelon and grapes especially. Of course though I want him to eat me veggies, so I'm curious what you use. Also, quick tip, make sure Mango has more than just round perhes to perch on. Having different textures, shapes and sizes is not only good for them, but its necessary. If they only have round perches, it'll end up hurting their feet. You may or may not already know that. You're obviously a wonderful, loving and educated fur and feathered momma! lol. Its amazing what these birds are capable of and all that they teach us. To those who are thinking about it. They're very time consuming, but if you have the time and are ready to make a HUGE, long term commitment, then they're also super rewarding!! 🦜🤗🥰

I just got my 3 month old sun conure yesterday. His name is also mango 😂 He is starting to get loud. He has lots of green feathers but i see some yellow. He even eats from my hand.

So, I got my Sun Conure from a local breeder in 1996, Baby was hand raised and hand fed. Wife drove, and baby just crawled all over me on way home. Don't know why, but just knew it was a female bird. Laid some eggs around 7 years old first time. Had to let her sit them until she lost interest otherwise would start laying again. Loves to get in water and things she shouldn't, so like a toddler, have to be aware all the time. If cooking something wet like soup or have water in the sink, have to close the cage. Loves crawling down my arm to get into about an inch and a half of water in the kitchen sink and splash all over for about five minutes than enjoys a bundling in a cotton towel for another five minutes.
Loves to get near the edge of my dinner plate and pick and choose. If we have a salad, have to set one for her also, else can't get near my own. Absolute favorite in the salad is the tomato, followed by cucumber and any fruit. Attacks bananas, tears the peel to pieces ferociously, but likes the banana.
At around 15 years old, figured how to flip open the sliding door to her food. The cage was outside and of course she flew away. Just left the cage open and out and a tape recorder on endless loop. She was returning to the cage to eat and then leaving for about a week. Stopped putting food in the trays and started eating outside by the cage at dinner. She finally flew down to me, gave me a screech and started in on my salad. Put her in her cage and no problems since. She is twenty-six now but still active.
Got a quaker 3 years ago, they get along pretty good as long as not in the same cage.

I have a Sun Conure, an Indian ringneck, and 4 cockatiels. The ringneck has taken to be his mother she loves him and he loves her. He also loves me and doesn't like other people trying to pick him up. He loves cuddles and playing a lot. They are the sweetest.
