Where do you reccomend to get a conure from my petsmart sells them and they are hand fed and look very healthy should I get them from there?where did you get your conure?

@DaxonizAmazin I wouldn't recommend getting one from petsmart, honestly. Find a reputable breeder of them. The birds from Petsmart (as well as other chain stores) come from bird mills, and live in bad conditions. They are also very overpriced. I got my GCC from a breeder about an hour away from me. He cost $225 (where he would cost $400 at the petstore), I got a health guarantee, and it was nice to know exactly where he came from. She took amazing care of him, and he's been a wonderful pet! :)

thanks for the video, wich species of parrot would be the less noisy for a apartment from you own opinion ?

[chinniebaby]

@tirvonum Green cheeks are known as good apartment birds, but in my experience they can get pretty loud (but they are still much quieter than other parrots). I have heard pionus parrots are pretty quiet and great for apartments as well (and a larger bird as well). Just do a little reasearch and I'm sure you'll find a good fit. :)

Cute!!! Love Cody! But uhhh.... You said the word ''um'' about 41 times... I counted...

@1234wallawalla lol, sorry about that. >< I tend to do that when I'm nervous. :P I've never done a youtube video before and I was a little nervous about getting everything right.

@DaxonizAmazin That's great! I do have to say though, a pet store bird may take a little time to get lovey and snuggly ..but it can be done with persistence and patience, I can vouch for that. Green cheeks have so much personality! I'm sure whatever you decide..you will make any bird in need of a home very happy! :)

[DaxonizAmazin]

@dgross563 I am so tempted to get a bird from the pet store! They look so healthy and my petsmart loves their pets! Trust me though if there were smaller birds for adoption close to where I live I would defiantly get one! I do have one bird and I adore her! I got her from the breeder and I want to get one from her again.

@dgross563 Also, the Teske's pet store we have here gets theirs from local breeders and does not outrageously over price their birds..and some pet stores do treat their birds very well, I can vouch for the petsmart here, my daughter took care of the birds there so I know their routine..and Teske's also is pretty good, but i can't say the same for petco at all.

[dgross563]

@DaxonizAmazin I know you asked this along time ago...but I did get 2 of mine from Petsmart...and they have turned out to be so amazing, and are now on their 3rd clutch of babies..I wouldn't trade them for the world. Overpriced...yes..but pet store birds need good loving homes too...

great vid!

@tirvonum yeah, pionus parrots... all the way! They are very gentle quiet birds. I never have to cover up my pionus parrot or close her up in her cage, and she never bites. Green cheeks are cute and cuddly and worth it if you have the time to give them interaction, but as far as noise if that is your concern, get a pionus, but all birds need time and care and a little know how. Pionus are a little hard to find is one problem.
