The more Conure moms I talk too the more I realize this too☺️ conures are ice creams🍦😅

My sun conure lets me do that too lmao

LOL like a gremlin😆 Mia does this too sometimes! Some nights she chatters more than others. Parrots, like many other animals, have certain routines or rituals they follow before going to sleep. Chattering or vocalizing can be part of this settling down process. It may help them release excess energy, establish a sense of security, or simply be a habitual behaviour that brings them comfort.

Lol. Mine talks to herself when she's covered up for the night, or when she climbs down into my shirt. It's hilarious.

Yup. Same here LOL

​@PoodlesandParrots Mine has to crawl into my shirt to settle in, and then off to the cage when he's relaxed. He can't just go to his cage. First in the shirt, then the cage where he can grumble himself to sleep LOL

Yes, they can talk pretty well. Mine says "Give me a kiss" and makes the smacking noise. One time she was on my shoulder and decided to bite my ear lobe. I yelled OUCH and she said, "that's my ear!" So plain. Oh, I forgot. She says "I'm itchy" a lot and I'm certain she associates that with getting her head rubbed.

My Sun Conure coo’s like a pigeon, did I miss you saying some like this?

Mia's favourite way to nap haha

You're most welcome! 😍 That's so cute! Baby conures melt my entire heart! Baby birds will flap their wings are they start to use them more this is usually not a hormonal flapping (conures start hormonal phases around 2 years of age). Chirping and grinding her beak, she is likely content💛- this blog may also be helpful! ;; poodlesandparrots.com/blog/posts/signs-that-your-parrot-likes-you 😊

💖💖😊

Talk to your conure like you would a person. Tell the bird what you're doing so that their brain can make associations. If they are going to talk, I think that's the best way to teach them.

💛💛💛

Glad you like the video!😊

I’m so glad!😀☺️

That's amazing! I love hearing about the conure that are talkers! I would love for Mia to learn a phrase or "MAMA":)

I agree 🥰😍☺️

they are very much like flying toddlers😆

It sounds like separation anxiety, I would recommend The Parrot Podcast and episode 14 we chat about separation anxiety and Courtney shares some really great info including on screaming kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqhoodFnm86wdIU.htmlsi=qk0AQeDMxanlKLqA she has a lot of great detailed videos on her channel as well🫶🏼Flock Talk🫶🏼

@@PoodlesandParrots really appreciate this , i will definately check this out . much appreciated :)

Hi 👋 if your dog is not trained with birds than until it is I would keep the 2 pets separate. You want to make sure you keep your bird safe in case your dog pounces, bites, etc or can be dangerous. This video might be of help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aL6IqdKTnNWqlmw.html

Conures are good at that☺️ surprisingly our birds have never been too keen on our plants so I haven’t had an issue with that and we also have a lot of faux plants 🪴 🙈 so it makes it a lot easier > poodlesandparrots.com/blog/posts/safe-and-unsafe-household-plants 😊

We have a lot of bird friendly spots around our home as well like ropes and swings and tree stands with toys so there are funner things to do that get into the plants. This helps!💚

I don't have any plants in the house. As for fear, mine is terrified of balloons. I've told my kids not to bring any balloons into the house.

Mia does this as a first sign that she is angry about something. So your conure is communicating that something is making him angry, this can also be followed by beak tapping repeatedly or the wing flutters. As you can see at that point she was angry with the camera - she doesn't always like it but depends on her mood or the light - and then she lunged to bite the camera; I wanted to get the video as an example. poodlesandparrots.com/blog/posts/my-parrot-is-biting-why-and-what-can-i-do I would recommend looking at what happens before the behaviour to understand the context and see if there is a pattern. A good way to do this is to video interactions so you can review it afterwards. i am constantly learned about these beautiful birds but I'll be doing a video soon on resources for where to turn to when you need help with bird behaviours and more! Cheers!😊

@@PoodlesandParrots thank you for the response! I appreciate it :)

Parrots make all kinds of sounds naturally, but we can teach talking through training, repetition, + capture training. Conures are better known for mimicking - Mango mimics a lot, whereas Mia also mimics a few things but had learned to say her name from hearing it all the time! So we captured with positive reinforcement, and now she says her name all the time, especially when she wants some attention 🥹🥹💕I always try to film it, but she stops as soon as I get my camera 😆

Oh my gosh! I can’t remember I’m sorry! I think it was either Amazon or a local online parrot store but if you find something similar you can also get shredded paper to fill it 😀

I can't say for sure because it depends on what the wings are doing and other behaviours, so it could be attention-seeking could be hormonal;- Wings are not always meant for flying; they often are used to communicate. ie. Wing flapping, or flying in place, is used as exercise, to get your attention, or just to display happiness. Or wing flipping has several meanings, too; Wing flipping accompanied by hunching of the shoulders and head bobbing is attention-getting and often means that a bird wants to be fed. Flipping may also be a mating behaviour. To get to know more info on parrot hormones, check out our blog :) ; poodlesandparrots.com/blog/posts/hormonal-parrots-triggers-signs-tips cheers!

@@PoodlesandParrots that was actually really helpful, thank you! :>

🥺🥺🥺 All birbs deserve a chance❤️ > kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZh_hJNk0JbGcn0.html this video might be helping for bonding. I also have a video on biting, how old is your sun Conure?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr2PeMuZyL-xmZ8.html > for biting / aggressive behaviour

You've only had them a month, give it time... They maayve had a mean prior person?

It’s not guaranteed! Sweet calming music do help mine to be quieter though 🙃

Hi! Please be aware you SHOULD NOT PET YOUR BIRD ON THEIR BACK! Occasional touches are okay (getting something off their back, them leaning against you, kisses, holding them like how she is..) but petting them on their wings, chest, back, etc. for conures means that you LIKE like them! Conures preening other conures (or any other bird for that matter) on areas they can preen themselves means they are their life partner and will eventually want to mate with them. Which unfortunately means petting them there is sexually stimulating. Please only keep to head and neck (and I believe feet is okay, too.)

@@mayhemreign6132 thank you for saying that

Is it happening consistently?

I recommend going through our videos and the parrot podcast!🙌🏼 lots of great info and tons of videos loaded with info, there’s one on biting as well; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr2PeMuZyL-xmZ8.htmlsi=liH6ST8NPuNrtwn0 work on building trust and bonding, going at the birds pace🫶🏼

Montana cages

Both are so cute! It really depends on you! I have a video coming soon on how to know if a GCC is right you🥰 I’m biased because I love conures but they also match my personality really well🤩

@@PoodlesandParrots Just put a down payment on a high red yellow sided GCC! We held a bunch of different birds and it was between a dusk conure and the GCC. Both were very snuggly. Granted they are only 4 weeks old but ended up picking the GCC in the end!! The breeder says we can come in and handle the bird as much as we want until it's ready to come home in a few months!

@@scupking oh my goshhhhhh🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 baby birds are my obsession! And congrats on your new family member❤️❤️

The pineapple green cheek conure is the quietest of all conures all so quieter than the cockatiel

Oh thank you!😆

It's a Montana cage - they are awesome! I actually have a video coming out this week on where to buy the cages and everything else for parrots. 😊Stay tuned 😀

☺️🥰

How do you get them to let you hold them mine will step up and let me pet her … is this a with time thing? She’s 17 weeks old I’ve had her just over a month. ❤❤

It just takes love and patience lots of patiences

What do you mean? This video refers to Conure sounds - all conures 😊

If you are looking for differences check out; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aph1mqqg08mtaGw.html

i have a turquoise blue conure but i want to know that blue conure and turquoise blue conure are same or different?

your MIA is turquoise blue or blue conure?

@@Mypetsworld-iz1hd Mia is a yellow sided turquoise green cheek Conure. There are turquoise green cheek Conures and their different variations (like yellow sided, etc) and blue crowned conures, the look and size is a bit different.

I try to get video footage of as many things as I can but I don't always get the opportunity to get everything on camera but our Poodle & Parrot Pals know I try!🙂 Conures can growl in a variety of situations, and the pitch and intensity of the growl can give clues to what the bird is feeling, this is why I mentioned that context is important! A high-pitched growl can indicate fear/distress/worry/nervousness, while a lower-pitched growl may actually be a sign of relaxation, contentment, or curiousness. By paying close attention to their body language, vocalizations, and behaviour, we can develop a better understanding of our own bird's needs, preferences, and emotions.😁 I'll try to get a few clips of Mia's growls to turn into a YT short!

Not every bird will like being held this way they are all individuals and it may or may not be something they will feel comfortable doing, tune into episode 21 where Mike and I talk about this on The Parrot Podcast!

Awwww!!! So adorable!🥰💕💓 yay!
