What can I give my conure to play with?
Foraging toys and puzzles are popular because they encourage parrots to work for and play with their food. Vegetables and fruits can stimulate and entertain your bird in a similar way. They can be hung on the side of the cage, hidden inside one another, or skewered together as a kabob.
Do conures get attached to one person?
Both sun and green-cheeked conures want and will demand your attention. These conures are more likely to be family birds, not as likely to be bonded to just one person, so there are many situations where that is a positive trait. Conures have “big bird” traits and personalities in small bodies.
Where do conures like to be petted?
The best places to pet parrots are their beak, head, and along their cheeks. More trusting birds enjoy being rubbed down the back of their neck and along their chest. Some parrots will even let you touch underneath their neck.
What is a conures favorite food?
Conures enjoy a range of foods, including pellets, commercial birdseed, fruits and vegetables and occasional treats. Pellets should make up 80-85% of your conure’s diet. Feed your conure dark, leafy greens, squash, berries, melons and other brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Offer birdseed as an occasional treat.
Why do conures bob up and down?
This is thought to be associated with courtship. Although not as elaborate as a boinging caique, some conures have been known to hop up and down when excited. This can be put on cue for an entertaining trick. Conures will also sometimes bob their heads up and down as if they are nodding “yes” or dancing.
