Conure Bonding | How To Bond With And Tame Your Conure | TheParrotTeacher

How to bond with and tame your conure !

I already have a general bonding video but people constantly ask about specific species bonding or just don't find it in searches. So, I thought I'd make species specific bonding videos!

These tips will apply to most parrot species, however there are some specific tips for bonding with conures too!

Hope you enjoy/find it useful and as usual any comments please feel free to leave them down below!

I’m a new conure owner and I’ve been struggling with bonding. My bird was already hand tame but she hasn’t shown much interest in spending time with me unless I have food. I lost a budgie I was very closely bonded with a few months ago, and this lack of bond with my new bird has been very painful and lonely. I’m hoping I just need to keep giving her time. I picked her out because of how playful she was with me at the breeder, but she hasn’t shown a drop of interest in me since then. It’s been hard.

After watching other YouTubers before I got Sky (pineapple), they all recommended that slow and easy approach when bonding. I had 5 Green Cheeks to choose from at the store. 3 normals and 2 pineapples. Sky was the only one who couldn't get on my hand fast enough. She scurried up my arm and sat on my shoulder. I bought her immediately. I was lucky. I didn't have to go through the regular bonding process. We bonded VERY quickly. 3 years have past and I have a very friendly bird who loves everybody, except my girlfriend. And even then, Sky is friendly to her when I'm not around. Your info is great and I'm glad I subscribed. Greetings from across the pond in the state of Tennessee.

You have such cute birds! This was a great video, in the future I’m possibly going to get a conure so this was very helpful

[ornithologydude]

This is kind of an older post, so I don't know if I will get any advice, but I'm trying anyway! I have had my green cheek, Miller, for about 12 years (got him when he was a baby.) We have always been well-bonded. About 7 years ago, we adopted an Indian ringneck. It took Miller a while to get used to him, but eventually he tolerated him well enough and they actually share a large cage. The ringneck is obsessed with Miller and only wants to be with him. It has turned out well bc I have had 2 children during then and now and have also been a full-time caregiver for my mom. I was glad Miller wasn't without a buddy to keep him company while I was very busy. I still interacted with him every day, but not the same bc he would go out of his way to bite my kids and my elderly mom. The ringneck is very affable, sweet, and friendly to everyone, so I don't worry about my bond with him. But since having kids, it has been hard to have the same connection with Miller that I used to have. I completely understand why, and I'm not surprised. But I don't know how to fix the bond with the ringneck involved. I feel like Miller is half bonded with me and half with the ringneck (whose name is Jr. by the way). But he is not sweet with me anymore, he bites me all the time. It makes me sad and I want to put in the work to fix it. Should I separate them when I take them out of the cage to spend indovidual time with them? Jr. screams the whole time when he can't see Miller. Any advice appreciated.

Thank you! my conure enjoyed watching your content :) If I have a 2 year old, do you think its to late to introduce a second one? Sometimes i wish he had a friend to chat with and groom.

My Conure is pineapple, when I sit in my chair. Attacks my mobile if I’m looking at it. Or bites me, when he wants attention 😂

Hello looking forward to learning along with u! Question what size make model etc are those bird cages?

[Tater]

I made the mistake of rewarding mine with strawberry. And he's now a strawberry addict in just 2 days. So I've got to cut out the strawberry and try and find another kind of healthier treat

Just adopted a bonded pair that needed a rehome due to the owner working more hours and noticed behavior changes like the female starting to bite ears after Years of being a comfy shoulder rider so they were put up for re home. I was very closely bonded to a sun conure I had before she passed away whom I had since she was a baby. This pair is 5 and younger. Hoping to moderate the ear biting as fhays not a fun negative behavior.

Hi! I’m enjoying your videos.
Quick question, do you recommend a corner blanket inside the GC cage? I got my GC and he has one in his cage that he loves and sleeps in.

Thank you so much for this video. I've had a Patagonian conure (just found out their breed) for about 4 years now. I've been looking for a video like this for a long while. I'm glad i found it. Obviously if i want to get to where you have with your birds its going to take a while. How would you suggest getting them out of their enclosures without forcing if they don't know the step up trick?

I got a year old green cheek conure and I have had him for a month now and I can do pretty much everything except petting him he is scared of my hands I have tried everything to bond with him but all he does is groom me and porch on me what can I do differently?

[wordvomit]

I just rescued a Conure he has been traumatized and very timid! I have had him now 7 days ♥️ my boy wants out but I can't get him back in cause he is not hand trained. Any suggestions?

Okey so I got a 7-8 month old green cheek and he’s super scared of hands and humans in general, I’ve let him settle for about 2 weeks and he’s still scared of me any advice?
(Ps. I let the cage door open all day until bedtime and I close it) please help
Thanks:)

I have had 2 green cheek conure and both the same in the nippy department it gets better and when there babies like I have they nip a lot more learning what they can get away with and what to hard an both of them kinda oit brew it although they still nibble on me all the time but it doesn't hurt they learned what's to hard except of you got a scab or something omg these little guys will bite it for sure

[eggxellent]

I have a question, my conure’s head is full of pin feathers that it never seems to grow out of and it’s usually around the same area. What can I do? Bathing it doesn’t really do much and I can’t help it cus it doesn’t allow me to touch it most of the time.

[IamNotANumber]

Can I ask a question. I was talking to a friend who has cockatiels because I was thinking of getting a Conure, and she said they are really dusty birds. I have quite severe allergies I'm allergic to furry mammals so thought a bird would be ideal, but now I'm not so sure!

[jennaemattson]

Hi my conure is a rescue and I’ve been struggling to get him to trust me for over a year now, i talk to him daily and live my life near him every day but he still won’t let me get any part of me closer than a foot or 2 away from him, in or out of his cage:( any advice for me?? He sees me pet my other bird on the occasion but he still won’t trust me😢
