Pompeii the talking Conure

[crazyanimal]

It saddens me that the birds were separated and the poor baby had to leave what he knew for so long.

[spiritum77]

oh such a cute bird.. :D

I bought mine not more than 2 months ago, and he is 7 months now and im allready his 4th owner.. he is thrusty tho and started to barf up food for me :)

He aint leaving me even tho he bites a lot.. guess thats just for fun cos he got my laugh when he does it hehe.. and he loves to laugh.. even when ppl on the telly laugh he laughs :D

Whats Up With The Bird At 1:20. Pompeii Likes Saying Da Vinci

[OverTheRaynbow]

Da Vinci is his old life partner. The people surrendering him kept Da Vinci and gave up Pompeii because he talked to much for the husband.

basically he was jealous because his wife loved the bird i got the impression so he told the wife pick the bird or me you can keep only one.

She kept the quiet one.

@OverTheRaynbow

that is insane and sooo sad :( how can people be so dumb... it is good to hear that Pompeii found a family that appreciate his/her talking.... :)

[zuriko]

What a sad story. He's adorable.

[izzylovesbirds]

I wonder what significance Da Vinci had to him, hehe. And I love how the birds are enjoying bath time!

[OverTheRaynbow]

Da Vanci was his life mate! Later I discovered he was Morning him, but there was nothing I could do legally. he was a surrender because he spoke to well, from what I was told.

Pompeii was adopted to people that loved him. They spent 40 hours bonding with them at FCBS before they brought him home for adoption.

He was such a good bird!

:-)

[captainkegelt]

Da Vinci! Love it!

[eminemlover321123]

hey i was thinking about geting a conure and was wondering if there hard to take care of ive never owned a bird before so i was jw thx

[banarabbyt]

Yes they are hard to take care of. It's like having a baby. So unless you are prepared to spend most of the day with your bird then don't get one. I have two and it's a full time job. As soon as I get home it's about changing their food and water, chopping up fruits and veggies, playing with them, cleaning their cage, etc.

[Chastronaut]

Check out the way my conure bathes! They love water!

[itsmyhannah]

Ok I Will Post A Video Response Will That Help?

[OverTheRaynbow]

Possibly , possibly not . but I have figured out maybe 300 reasons they pluck. I think I did a video on plucking a while back also.

[itsmyhannah]

I Have a Blue Crowned Conure But He Plucks His Feathers Out and He Wont Stop. Do You Know Why Or How To Stop It? P.S. he Has Been Like This For 20 Years

[OverTheRaynbow]

Yes there are LOTs of reasons why they do it. Its your job to find out why.

Without being there I can not possibly guess.

[benjiyareli]

que bonito video me encantan los pajaros

[jjjazzycraig]

i was given a blue crown conure recently...i know little about bird care...but everyday is a joy with my new feathered friend.

[RockClimber62]

my parrot loves to take a bath... in his water bowl he wont go near a shower and hates it when we try to spray him with some water is there any good and easy way to get him to like showers?

[OverTheRaynbow]

Great Question! All birds are different like humans, & ALL birds need to bathe. Open drinking water can germinate potentially terminal illness bacteria withing 4 hours after changing. Especially for food dunkers, making it unsanitary. We use water bottles. (different topic) converting to a water bottle. Bottled water stays basically Bacteria free for up to 4 day but you loose the mineral benifits after 2 days so it should still be changed every day. and remember often that it isn't clogged.

[OverTheRaynbow]

We offer a shallow dog bowl or a little box for larger birds with slightly warmer water than room temp in the winter and a little cooler in the summer. Splash your fingers so they can see you playing and that should attract their attention.

Remove the bathe after they are done. Don't leave it for their drinking.

[OverTheRaynbow]

For birds scared of the shower... There is a GREAT product called the EASY MISTER. It is silent and NO TRIGGER that birds hate. We add a little of a product called AVIAN RAIN to the water, that's very healthy for birds.

Use it until the bird is soaked avoiding the face of course. This will add moisture to the air and help the birds respiratory health.

Birdie should start flapping its wings and side stepping and act generally excited. They will enjoy the attention also, and look forward to it.

[OverTheRaynbow]

I take showers WITH the bird beginner if I have a skiddish one. The shopwer MUST be on MIST, and must in no way resemble a typhoon or hurricane to the bird. Invest in an energy saving shower nozzle. They can be found at Lowes or Home Depot for about $3.99.

Never leave them un-attended. Sneezing is normal. Continuous sneezing is NOT. If in doubt remove them.

Showers are like therapy for our birds here.

I hope this helps. Consult your vet if you have any doubt to my advise please.

My BCC Sunny tried talking to Pompeii and preening him. What a great talker!

[jstwantU2noMe69]

glad to hear it!

[jstwantU2noMe69]

[OverTheRaynbow]

Pompeii has found a permanent home. Summer 2007

[Nova5202]

Cute, we have a Blue-Crowned too named Patrick. He's a riot. I want to film him but he doesn't like the camera and starts squawking really loud.

[Jet206]

Awesome. It looks like your sanctuary takes great care of your birds. If I weren't a bit far away in Virginia I'd probably be there volunteering! Skyler the BCC says hi to Pompeii and hopes he finds (or has found) a great home. :>

[MOGcrazy4birds]

do u have ne sunday conures? and i have no clue where u live

[OverTheRaynbow]

I have 4 Nanday Conures available. None for breeding however. We are located in North Carolina. You can go to our website posted at the top if you like for more info. Thanks.

[demon476]

i have one oof those its a female there cool

[ProudParront]

My BCC, Morgandy, and I watch this video so she can see that not ALL BCC's are scared of humans. She's come a long way since I rescued her last Christmas!Tell Pompeii that he is being a GREAT role model for a scared little BCC in AR!

[Peepuff]

Five star rating for the video and another 5 stars for your rescue efforts and helping parrots in need of a home! Very noble. This video touches my heart. I have rescued/adopted parrots in the past. Your video is on my homepage...in the front!

[OverTheRaynbow]

Thank you. I am so happy you enjoy them. Our sanctuary is open to the public by apointment. We have a wonderful program.

[scorpism]

You Guys are amazing ...

[july7nyc]

There is nothing cuter than a wet bird! I love how they're all in there with their eyes half closed just loving it. It cracks me up! I love them!

[FeatherDiamondz]

What you guys do taking care of unwanted ir neglected birds I think you guys are amazing. If only my budgie is as cuddly and trusting as your!Best of luck you guys -kirsty

[OverTheRaynbow]

Thank you :-)

[madamerotten]

Could you possibly find a MORE ANNOYING piece of music to accompany this video? (With all due respect to the great Ernest Evans.)

[JenniferHollidayxxx]

god bless you guys! he's beautiful, I hope he finds someone who'll take him home and love him unconditionally!

[johanness72]

did the bird say any thing here ? what the hell what up with that song in the back you can't hear what the birds sayin .

[OverTheRaynbow]

Yes hes saying Hi Pompeii. and Devinchi

[OverTheRaynbow]

P.S. If you watch some of my other videos you will see how sad some of them are. I have spent many a day crying over some of these rescues. make them as well as possible and then have to adopt them out and say goodbye. So when there is an oppertunity to make something pleasant I go for it. And Pompeii is a very healthy happy bird.

[dancingsprite]

what a cutie! It's sad when someone has to give up a birdie they love :( And If I see video is unavailable one more time on YT I'm going to scream! So I better log off :P

[klwess]

I have a Blue Crowned Conure named "Roxie"... they are the best. Very smart, sweet natured and excellent talkers. Silly little birds with infectious personalities.

[jaymedecas]

Pompeii is a sweetie. I know he'll find a good home!

[amd79745]

i love pompeii. are you advertizing him for adaption? i have a DYH amazon who used to have a blue crowned friend in the pet shop. I know ginger would love pompeii too.

[OverTheRaynbow]

Yes he will be adopted only through our volunteer program so he can get to know you, if you live locally.

[amd79745]

i do not live localy. But it just as well i know Pompeii is and will be in the best of care.

[Jcadig1]

Another lovely bird. Another great video. You do great work Catherine.
