    conure vs. cockatiel?

    Thanks for the good advice! I tried taking him out of his cage right now and he bit very hard. I put my hand in a fist so he couldn't really grab anything and left in there in his face and said "no" sternly until he stopped biting. Hopefully he will get the picture soon!

    conure vs. cockatiel?

    Hi! I have an issue with my new conure and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts! Everyone has their own opinion on how to stop biting so I was wondering what yours were. Sometimes when I go to take him out of his cage and he doesn't want to go he starts to bite, and he is starting to bite...

    conure vs. cockatiel?

    I'm not worried about noise. They can be loud. Now my question to all you conure pros is.. Is it smarter to get one just weaned or a 2-3 year old who's already tame?

    conure vs. cockatiel?

    Everyones info is so helpful! Thank you. I went to the bird farm today and there was a baby jenday conure. How different are these from sun conures? I tried to look it up but they don't really seem to have much different other than color. Also, the bird was a female and I want a bird that is...

    conure vs. cockatiel?

    Thanks for all the good info! It helps:) I'm going to be going to school in the fall, part time.. Will a conure be able to handle that? Maybe 2-3 days a week. All the other days I will be home, and it will be given plenty of attention. When i'm not home, a family member will be home though. And...

    conure vs. cockatiel?

    I do love sun conures, beautiful birds.. Do they whistle like cockatiels do? One of my cockatiels would whistle theme songs and things.. Thanks for the quick replies!

    New pigeons, need some advice

    Hi there, They are way too young to be a mated pair. Probably a pair of siblings though! Also, I don't see their fantail? They are not eating on their own? If they aren't eating on their own they should not be taken away from their parents just yet. They seem to be old enough to eat on their own...
