Back in 1999 when I was a teen I found a semi tamed conure in my grandfathers mango tree one day and tried to befriend him and fed him mangos but he was skittish and took a bit but he took some mangoes from my hand. Then when I was going to leave him and head back into the house he flew onto my shoulder and became my best buddy after that. He looked like a green cheek conure but had a little bit of red around and on his tail feathers. He was such a derpy and fun feathered friend. And I’d take him outside all the time to eat mangoes and fruits from my grandparents trees. The instant I called him he would fly right back to my shoulder. His name was “Buddy”. I miss that little dude. He passed of old age I believe, had him for over 8 years and I assume he was already pretty old when I first found him.

My beautiful pineapple green cheek named peach recently passed away, she was such a sweet girl and is missed greatly. In memory of her I rescued a Jenday conure yesterday. He was abused by his previous owners so he’s still really scared but will take treats from my hand and accept head scratches. His name is mango 🥭

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Awww💕 bless your heart! So sorry for your loss of Peach 😥 & welcome to a better home and life Mango, hope my video are helpful for you! Cheers💖

How could someone abuse a conure? Send me their address, I’m gonna give them a piece of my mind 👊🏻

Recently, one CARELESS friend of mine bought a Pineapple Conure as a baby and now is not able to give time. So gave it to me, as I am an animal person. But I had experience with rescuing local birds which I released after they grew up. Which I couldn't with conure because they are from South America. I already have a cat and tortoise. Not to mention I have a small apartment. I don't want to keep a bird in an apartment for his life time. And life recently got a little busy. I want to ask, if you or anyone from South America wildlife that could help me.... I know it is a big ask, but can any animal enthusiasts be able to take him from my country and maybe release him in the South American jungle or at least give him a better life.

I adopted a conure named “Peaches”. She’s super feisty but loves me most of the time (not everyone else). Still learning to gain her trust, but every now and then she bites me 😢

[@nexusfairy3038]

If I held my conure like that, I'd for sure be attacked lol.. my conure, Tiki, is my best bud. I can't even imagine life without him ❤️💛💚

I have a Pineapple Conure named Louie - but I mostly call him Buddy. He has some curious behaviors for sure. He dances around my Keurig with his tail feathers spread out when I make coffee in the morning. He can say 'Hey Cutie! and usually says that when I take him out of his cage in the morning. He's a GREAT companion as I live alone but I work from home so he gets a lot of attention. He was quite nippy when I first got him about a year ago, but he is slowly outgrowing that. Love your videos!!!

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Aww, it was actually a pineapple conure that made me fall in love with parrots! 💖😊 Louie sounds like a cutie himself!! Thanks for sharing ☀️ & for the love! 🥰

[@Melan1e4ever]

To be aware: Stores like PetCo will sell something called fancy green cheeks and me and my parents bought the conure and named her kiwi. When I took pictures of kiwi it showed her as not a green cheek conure but a black capped conure (aka a rock conure status: endangered) which means that she is not a green cheek but she is indeed a conure. Make sure to do research and maybe look up conure type lists if you are confused of the type of the bird

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Thank you for sharing, it’s good to research the types of species as you mentioned because petsmart does the same thing they label them as “fancy” and will sell you a green cheek, black capped, crimson bellied or sun conure as “fancy” 😔

[@viagraREAL]

Please help me with my Conure green cheek. I've tried a lot of ways to get him to step up on my finger or arm. He runs from me if I attempt. He gets happy when he sees me , he was In a pet store for 6 months before I bought him. I don't know what to do to help him trust me? Any suggestions would help so much. Plus I can't get him to eat or even try veggies

[@PoodlesandParrots]

You need to respect your birds boundaries and not force step up. I included more in my other reply but here’s also a video on how to get your bird to eat more veggies : kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3jcf2d8bdiMZ9Usi=ap2KdPv4kfmSEBrc

I just bought a green cheeked yesterday, and I am so in love with this bird. I had one in the past a couple of years ago and we had an unbreakable bond. Sadly she passed when I went on deployment. 😢 Here I am 10 years later with my brand new conure, and I plan on breeding and pairing her up with another conure.

Did you get baby birds

[@tomikola1864]

I just got a baby cinnamon conure. He's all over me I've had conures before so I was aware of that. He eats with me and loves bathing. The only thing with conures is that they are very nippy. Especially young. Right now I have marks on my neck ears, and of course fingers. Any tips on how to get him slow down with this habit ?

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Nipping is indeed a common behaviour in young conures... a few quick tips would be positive reinforcement, gently redirecting his attention to a toy or activity, consistency, avoiding "rough play" or overly stimulating your conure, watch for triggers, socialize your bird, be patient and build trust! I have a whole video dedicated to biting I recommend!☺

I bought to conures a male and female. They love socializing with all. If you pick up one you get both. I’m trying to socialize . They are 3. They love each other. They went t In heat and he turned on me, sharpened his beak fluffed his feathers and would jump out and bite me And mean it! I took out the box and seemed like a black bean was in it.maybe his baby. Chewing the housing boo. Mia.more my female likes to sit on my cockatiels cage.. harharmlesslee. Can they be friends. The cocktail would rather bite me know one ever worked with him. He lost his other male mate after 10 years. Trying to work with him. Can this work with my female contour.

[@driz40]

Poodles and parrots! I have a big question.. I'm currently buying all the necessities for my soon to be pet Conure bird! The person I'm trying to buy it off keeps saying that all the cages I've found are no good to a small / medium sized parrot like a Conure bird. He is insisting I buy a 50cmx50cmx70cm cage of him with 1.5cm gap spacings. In the situation I'm in, I understand he is the professional, but after all the research I've done I feel like I'm getting scammed? The cages I've found are 65cmx65cmx80cm with 1.3cm gap spacings. I would rather put my trust into you because you are someone I look up to. So where am I going wrong? Or am I being scammed..? (both cages are stainless steel)

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Sure! Let me start with suggesting this video I talk about the cage brands and some places to buy good cages from kzbin.info/www/bejne/imOtoGR_ar2Jhtk usually when someone wants you to buy something they will tell you what they need to so that they can convince you! If you don't feel good about it's probably not a good option - trust your gut!! I would always recommend the bigger one with the small bar spacing. Our cage for reference is 10mm/1cm bar spacing and the size is 96 x 58 x 167 cm. We worked our way up to this size but started with what our budget allowed for with the biggest we could get. Conures are very active and need to space to play, climb, stretch, explore. Hope this helps you! I also have a blog on this; poodlesandparrots.com/blog/posts/tips-for-choosing-the-right-cage

I have two budgies Lemon and Blueberry that are absolutely adorable when they're being naughty. They're currently shredding a tp role tube making a huge mess under their play gym lol. I love these little birbs. ❤️ Someday I'd like to expand my flock to include a green cheek conure or two perhaps so I'm researching up on them too. In anyone's experience with these birds, would you recommend always getting them in pairs, or is it fine to have just one bird to bond with? Keeping budgies I've always kept multiple because they're just so social and prefer their flock with other budgies. I just don't want him to feel sad or lonely if I get a green cheek in the future. Someone help she'd some light on this is much appreciated. 🥺

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Those are really cute names!🥰 if you’re thinking about expanding your flock I don’t think you HAVE to get them in a pair but if you would like to; you can! A green cheek Conure could bond and flock with your budgies as well. I’ve seen many flocks in homes with conures & budgies - you could also check out Elle and the birds (she also has both plus more!). We don’t find that Mango or Mia have ever displayed behaviours of feeling sad or lonely, they also spend a lot of time with us 😀🥰 hope this helps!

We have two budgies and a conure They just love to have fun all together Flying through the house together But definitely the conure is different in character She imitates my chuckle and laugh The budgie imitates the conure call She insists on joining us for mealtimes and eats also from the male budgies mouth God's blessing in these birds characters who just love to love
