I had a NanSun for several years Sunny loved to dance. He could talk but you had to pronounce words as he was learning them. His favorite word was "What" but he didn't pronounce the "T" at the end. I ended up emphasizing the "T" at the end of the word. He eventually understood and if I did not pronoucd the "T" at the end he would come from wherever he was and climb up to tel me how to pronouce it. He would do this with just about anyone if they said what and didn't pronounce the "T" at the end. His favorite game at night after the lights were out was to growl. Who could growl the longest. He came up with that on his own. I would growl back and he would wait until I was done and he would try to out growl me. We went back and forth often before going to sleep. I am now geting a pure Sun Conure and I think Sunny helped prepare me for one. Thanks for the video. OH, sunny loved boxes. I would make boxes with various levels for him and cut holes all over for him to stick his head through. We woud play and he would go all through the box as if I had to find him. They are great girds.

To all those people wanting to get a bird (Please do research before owning ABY type of animal. There is no such thing as a "starter animal" or a "beginners pet" This applies for all types of birds If you are in school/work consider these things - Are you not gonna be around it for more than 8 hours? If yes then don't get one unless you get two or provide them with A LOT of toys or activities and people who can keep them company to keep them "social" If no and you will be home all the time after school/work hours then getting one is fine and toys can be moderate. Some in cages and some outside. Since you are around the bird you can keep it company and socialize with it. This way the bird will be happy and socialized so that it will not attack strangers or run from strangers (as in guests or friends) - Are you able to keep up with the birds costs? If no then don't try to even get one. Birds are costly and their vet bills are also expensive. Not to mention their cages, toys and food. Everything about owning a bird costs more than hundreds. Maybe you are able to moderately get everything but unless you can give them a proper life, don't get a bird. If yes then go ahead. When you first get the bird, get a checkup to ensure that they have no disease or problem. Provide lots of toys for enrichment. A cage bigger than their wingspan and proper foods such as pellets, seeds and fruits. Lastly, can you commit? Birds are a lifetime commitment. They bigger they are the longer they'll live. Are you gonna care for it for years to come? If no then please don't get one. There are so many birds up for adoption because people lose interest in them. Please don't buy on impulse because you think they are cute. When you get a pet, you do not own it. It owns you ;)

a tip to people who want a sun conure!! buy a tamed pet as they will probably be hand reared like this one in video so you can handle them straight out of box. if you buy a aviary bird it will take u maybe 1-2 years to get it to this level but remember you need to spend alot of time with it and also depends on the nature of the bird. and sun conure will NOT live around 25 years unless you feed them a balanced diet of fruits and seed. normally they live around 5-12 years just on nuts and seed. and finally if you want to get a another bird to accompany the sun dont get the same species as they will start ignoring you if you want a tamed bird. this is good if you work long hours as they will play with the other one. finally they are LOUD SCREAMERS!. i can hear my ones from outside my house and this may be bad for neighbours.

TheTriggerFingers I appreciate the concern but we're very conscious of potential safety issues for our bird. We don't keep anything with loose threads or anything that could be swallowed in his cage. We also keep his wings clipped, so when he tries to fly he can't do anything but flap to the floor.

I gasped when I saw the ceiling fan. I agree that the fan should not be on when the sun conure is outside the cage. No matter how careful you are even with wings clipped this is risky. My friend’s sun conure was injured by a ceiling fan. I have had my sun conure for 15 yrs and my rescued sun conure for 10 years and she is almost 18. Personally I wouldn’t have a ceiling fan on in my home.

@@user-qp3pu5yv1e I agree! You cannot fully bird-proof a house, but you must try your best to. And train your bird to not go to or touch things that might be dangerous. I've had over 13 years of experience with birds and one thing I've learned is, disaster strikes when you least expect it. Coward man's right! These are hazardous things that I noticed as well. And even if you've had your bird for a long time, there's still plenty to learn! That's why I enjoy birds so much, you'll learn something new every day! That happy hut is not a good idea, and neither is keeping the fan on, plz do take our advice.

Hi! Thank you for your video! My husband and I want to get a bird. We have always had parakeets but now we are looking into buying a bigger bird. We are looking for a cuddly bird. After doing some research we were determined on getting a sun conure since all the reviews said suns are known to be cuddly. However, we have been into a few bird fairs and every single person we have met have told us that the suns are too loud and the most returned bird 🙁 My husband now is not interested in a Sun. We are doing our homework before buying a bird because we want to make sure we give the bird the family it deserves. We know these birds can live for 30+ years so we want to be responsible. We never had children 😞 so this is going to be our forever baby 🤗 We are very excited!! I'm still in love with sun conures, my husband is in love with the other types of conures but now that I've been looking at videos and reviews about caiques I am falling in love with them....🙃 ah! Decisions!! What would you recommend us as new owners of a bigger bird? Which bird or birds do you think we should focus on?

Makita Sakamura I own a sun conure and he used to scream a lot but if you start playing with it more it won't scream they are cute and fluffy birds they need a huge cage to play around if it's a baby buy some chewing toys for it and if it's 6 months then buy it some Hanging toys and some rope and give it apples 1-2 times a week they can speak but only words like kiss-kiss and something like cookie my bird is called cookie. but if you don't spend time with it they will become angry so don't buy it unless your home a lot

Hello there. Beautiful bird. Thanks for such informative video. I inherited my Sun Conure from my cousin (She has a small child in the house and can no longer care for the bird), for almost two years now. I need to go out of town for almost three weeks. Can you please suggest what to do to prepare her to be with someone else. She is rarely inside the cage with me, but no one else is going to keep her cage free at their home. I am afraid my bird will die of anxiety staying caged for that long. Please help
@RedSoxChic193
@RedSoxChic193 6 жыл бұрын
If at all possible, bring your bird over to the home she'll be staying at a few times before you leave. That way it won't be an entirely new and strange environment when she goes to stay there, and you can reduce some of the stress on her. Bringing LOTS of toys for her to play with is also a good idea. And even if she won't be let out a lot, have the person watching her be around and talk to her as much as possible. Social interaction even through the bars of a cage is much better than no socialization. I hope everything works out well!

Our sun conures love nibbles are becoming aggressive seeming somehow. His feathers are coming in alot more and he's a month or so old. Hope it aint hormonal. Lil dudes been over the past few days becoming curious in the biting category. Like biting and tonging my finger. Its just nerve racking sometimes because how he looks when hes doing it. Sometimes he'll grip harder tho but, never to the point it actually hurts. He's only bit once painfully but, it wasnt me and it was after the family left for the day with him in the cage. He literally cried and bit my mom when she took him out. It was sad. Now he keeps opening his mouth and running towards me from his cage going at my nose. Not sure if its its something to worry about though because he aint tryna be aggressive when doing it. He just stumbles his way in my direction with his neck all stretched out tryna reach like he would to nibble my finger and do the weird licking thing or something. Its just he's so young I ain't sure if he's gonna suddenly start becoming mean or something and these are signs 😭 need to stop him while he's young if so

I am a year late, I might not help you at all, but just don't be scared. It doesn't hurt, sun conures can cut your skin, but minimally. I have sun conures for years, they never bit me hard enough for me to actually cringe from pain, unless i grabbed them (selling reasons). Most of the times when they do bite, they are just showing their confidence - they grab your finger or grab and squeeze, then it hurts a little, but not more than a bee sting. It's just a second of happening. After that it doesn't hurt at all. Also, you can learn something about their body language and biting, one example, if they wanna bite, they open their eyes widely and press their feathers to skin.

Ideally you should bring your bird for vet check ups once a year, and any time you have health concerns of course. And usually if you want to know the sex, you'll have to get genetic testing done. Either that or wait to see if it lays an egg!

Phoebe Zertuche if you live alone then that schedule might not be ideal for owning a conure. Parakeets and smaller birds usually don't need quite as much attention so that's something you could consider. That's just my advice but I would research as much as you can before you buy any bird!

It took awhile and I never forced her. Just sat there and waited. Now she insists on taking one daily lol. It just took time and also she will only take one while attached to my hand she doesn't walk on the bottom by herself and I let her move herself around. I literally just sit there till she's done and climbs back up my arm.

Tessa Gray My first bird was a cockatiel and I think they're fantastic for first time bird owners. In my experience they're not quite as high maintenance as conures. Conures have very big personalities (and big mouths, they're very loud lol) which can be a little tricky for first time owners. But both birds are affectionate, entertaining, and great pets :)

Dear RedSox, I have a 4 month old sun conure, and I love her to death. My whole family does. We all thought that we knew everything about these birds, and did our research about them. But in the morning, it seems to be a problem. She squawks and squawks like crazy! It starts at about 8 am and doesn’t stop till I take her out. It’s the summer so I don’t have school, so that means I spend lots of time with her, but that also means I sleep in. Not too late though. I think I’ve made a mistake with taking her out when she squawks, so I’m trying to correct that. But my family can’t stand it. My little sister goes and eats breakfast in her bedroom, and my dad has to go in his office to watch tv, because he can’t watch it in the living room. My mom even takes her out of the cage in the morning sometimes to stop her from making noise. My dad is at his wits end, and he says he can’t stand having that thing squawking when he is at work (he works from home) or in a meeting, and he could get fired. I love my bird with all my heart, but I don’t think things are going to turn out well. My dad feels bad for buying me the bird, because we have bonded, and now we might have to get rid of her if this still keeps going on. We’ve tried many different methods like putting a blanket of the cage, and not taking her out when she squawks, but nothing is working! We live in a very hit state, and he said that he will start putting her outside (with the cage) in the mornings, and it’s REALLY hot! Do you have any advice on how to get her to stop squawking? I don’t want to get rid of her, but we might have to.

Get another Sun for companionship. She might uncomfortable about something such as lack of free flying time /exercise. Change the diet to a well balanced one. Also have plenty of toys in and outside the cage. Make sure you have a radio playing soft music while away.

Each bird is different so the time it'll take for them to get comfortable will vary, but usually a week is enough time to give a conure before you start bonding. In my experience birds are usually more willing to be scratched or pet outside of their cage rather than inside. If you haven't already, try to start taking her out of the cage and training her to step up onto your finger.
