Kiwi the Sun Conure

[Therther48]

@newzealandnz I have a Sun Conure named Kiwi! But I live in California........

[newzealandnz]

Kiwi look pretty! Glad to know I not the only kiwi with a Sun Conure in New Zealand

My father's sun does the same thing with the toys he has in his cage, except he's a lot louder while he's "fighting" with them.

[LyricalShowtime]

lol. My Sun, Fonzie, just loves watching Kiwi. :) She's adorable.

You should buy the biggest cage you can afford, The minimum cage size for this bird is 20 inches long by 20 inches wide by 24 inches tall with bar spacing 3/4 to 1 inch.

@OapJo what's wrong with the cage they have?

[ASPunisher12]

I work at PetsMart and we have had a conure for quite some time due to the price. But hes is the greatest bird ever. Yes he is loud, but only because he wants some attention. Sadly we can't let birds on our shoulders anymore due to a new rule.

Anyways, do you mind telling me a decent sized cage you could use for a Conure? I thinking about buying him but I don't know what kind of cage I should buy.

You shouldn't let them on your shoulder. If they're on your shoulder they get it into their heads that they're the "dominant" bird. They're really beautiful though :)

[ASPunisher12]

Well that isn't the reason, sadly it happened at some PetsMart where they had a bird on their shoulder and it fell. Then a dog came around and picked the bird up.

Sad story.

[56animallover]

@ASPunisher12 Did the bird get like chewed up or something?

[56animallover]

@VioletRaiyne exactly

[56animallover]

@ASPunisher12 The largest you can afford.

[jeffameleon]

i am thinking about getting one but could you tell me if they are loud?

[OapJo]

Yes

[jeffameleon]

hmm alright ill still look at it

[watdowehavehere]

they are very very loud when they want to be, but if you can put up with it and have A LOT of time to spend with it, then they make fantastic companions. mine is currently sitting on my shoulder preening my neck

[CutlerBeckett]

Mine is sitting on a play gym right beside me. He usually sits on my shoulder when im on the computer though.

[56animallover]

@CutlerBeckett keep them off your shoulder.

[CutlerBeckett]

@56animallover Why? He doesn't have any behaviour problems.

[56animallover]

@CutlerBeckett because he will soon learn that he is dominant if he is ever allowed above your head or at the same height. That can result in SERIOUS problems!!

[CutlerBeckett]

@56animallover Don't worry, he's really small---i'm really big. He's been sitting on my shoulder for years, he's not even eye level to me. He knows that he's not dominant.
