As long as you give the bird time when you get home, you should be ok..... more time, better pet!! Also, make sure he has plenty of "bird toys" to occupy his attention while you're gone! If you ignore him, he'll tell you all about it! LOL!
I am considering a sun conure as a pet for a single person household. And need to know, are they a breed that stay tame if bought as a hand tame chick? I'm out of the house 10 hours 4 days a week for work.
And I just had to part with a Indian ringneck because he was too aggressive.
Your sun conure is more red than mine, and my conure is nearing two but he has green spots on his wings that a lot of other sun conures I see don't have. Some are very yellow and he doesn't have quite so much., (you can see vids of him on youtube channel if you want.)
Sun Conures are awesome.They are,in my opinion, the gentlest parrot to have.I have a Sun (Kiwi) and his buddy (Peanut,a peach front conure) sitting on my shoulder watching Utube videos with me.They are so smart,but I have to say the Suns make the most annoying sounds.Repetitive sqaucks,it drives me nuts !
hi is it usual for a baby green cheek conure to have bald spots on their head? i got two today and im worried something is wrong with them.they are old enough to eat the seeds them selfs.im just worried
Actually a great video - But did you know it takes Sun Conures 3 years before they have their "adult" colors? My baby Shilo went through quite a transformation from 2 - 3 as well! Enjoy your baby, I adore Suns!
BTW, Jupiter became even more pretty on his 2nd year. After the first year I thought Conures couldn't get more pretty but they do. Wish Youtube would let me edit this video with a 2 year shot, lol. oh well.
I adopted my conure at 5 years old from a woman who couldn't give it enough attention (She had a special needs child) And even though I didn't have him from being a baby, he is so faithful and loving to me! And protective. :p
Thanks for making this video. It's nice to be able to see how they change as they age. Also, your still pics really show the color arrangment at every angle. So pretty!
Wow! Jupiter is so amazing! Good job doing the video. I was wondering if you knew any tips that would make my sun conure more comfortable perching on my finger?
yes. its a marvelous thing to watch.. my conure is two now and shes is sooo gorgeous. and i love when she stretches her wings. the blue is just awesome. :) thanks for sharing the transformation.
You're welcome. Jupiter has become more beautiful since this 1 year mark - he is bright and georgeous, I wish I could update this video with a 2 year update clip, because it seems that Sun Conures get more beautiful with age. What a fun journey we get to have with our Conures :)
So amazing! Our conure is definitely going through his teenage looking years...feathers sticking out all over the place, mismatched. I know he'll be beautiful though!
aww how adorable! my sun conure is 9months. her colors are still changing, but her tail she only has 2 long ones that look like their gunna break. its normal thoo. shes soo pretty..soon she will look like yours :) how gorgeous!!
I love your video! I just got a sun conure and he is so sweet! I can't wait to see his transformation...I can already see his colors coming through. He is 5 mos. old :)
do you know how i could get my conure to eat veggies ive tried everything but hejust won't eat it, and i heard they live long IF they eat lots of fruit, any edvice or tips that i could get him to eat
No, there is nothing wrong with your Sun. This video follows my Conure's transformation, but generally speaking a Sun Conure plumage can develop faster or slower depending on various factors. I usually get emails from Sun Conure parents wondering when their green plumage will come out and if they can make it happen faster (or if there is something wrong with slow plumage bloom), which isn't a problem for your baby. Congrats!
Sun conures are not easy to care for & i advise you to consider it carefully. They require lots of attention and get VERY LOUD if they dont think they are getting it. The best thing to feed is a ballanced pelleted formulae.Its important to give fresh fruit and veg. DO NOT GIVE LETTCUE. Theres lots of info on the internet, but i recomend talking to a breeder. When purchasing your bird make sure s/he has been weened onto a pelleted formulae and was hand raised.Seeds do not provide enough nutrients
Yes, I completely agree. A Sun Conure is a wonderful pet if you can provide the attention they desire (which is considerable). Jupiter is very loud when we are not in sight, so this is not a parrot for apartment living. Being the most educated you can be about this species will help create a loving enviornment with little surprises regarding Conure behavior.
i really want my conure to live very long, so i heard they have to eat fresh veggies...but my sun won't eat ANTHING but his seed diet, what should i do?!?!?! D:
I wouldn't worry, Sun Conures have a 3 year old mentality and energy, they are very curious, and can grow to like new things in time. I would offer veggies anyhow, even if he/she won't consider them now. Allow your bird to watch you eat them, Jupiter is a big sucker for that. If I'm eating it, he wants it too! Continue to have gentle patience with your bird and know that they change like us and with gentle persistance, may come around to love the veggies you lovingly provide. Good luck to you.
omg i luv u !!!!! that is the most beautiful compile i ever saw..........omg u r great...im breeding deep color suns, fancy cockatiels (white)silver whiteface,(pearl)..no pieds from that yet, and real crazi uniformed color parakeets ..i loved this video i subscribed to u... maybe we can talk one day.......god u made my year with this video...i love u ..thank u...~~keri~~ caaaaaaaaaaaaan i put my email here??? i dont think so :( haha seeds in my keyboard lol ooops lol

yozo2424, they should learn how to fly themselves. It should come naturally.
I have 2 baby suns just 5-6 weeks old. And the older one can fly at very short distances already.
1 year and not flying at all is a worry. Are its wings clipped?
