Comments: we acquired "Aruba" -Sun Conure, about October. I have had other birds, dogs, cats, animals, all my life and NOTHING prepared me for ARUBA. She looks like the cover of the Sun Conure Book -beautiful! And that she can be loud does not quite cover it! She can make your ear drum vibrate when she is displeased. She is spoiled and demanding and thinks she is a human....say a human 2 year old. My two year old baby. She has initiated an interesting behavior as to rolling over on her back when she want to play. Then she wants her tummy tickled, and hang upside down, even hang by one foot. (I keep my other hand about 6-8 inches under her in case she should fall or she reaches for the other hand when she has had enough aoerobatics for the day. About 10-15 minutes of this high-wire play time is all she wants. The biting, will start with her working on a mole, or skin tag, and keeps working it. Or if she has just been out of her cage a short time, say for housekeeping reasons & I have to go to work that day. She will express her displeasure in being put back in by nipping. She is sleeeping right now, on my shoulder, just under my jaw line. It surprises me that she would sleep on my shoulder instead of a cage. The one line you wrote, that was most comforting, is that a Concure needs 12 hours of sleep a day. I don't get much house work done as she always wants to be with me 24 hours if she could. Not afraid of vacuum sweepers, or hand vac's. Loves people. Loves being the center of attention in a group of people. Will go through her "begging" to be picked up, nodding "yes" that she's a pretty bird, yes to all kinds of compliments. She's at home in the middle of a party. She doesn't know a stranger, but takes to women quicker than men. Will shake her head vigiously "no", when I'm carring the parakeets. Sometimes vigiously "no" when she's been the center of attention and it's time to cover her. You gave me some pointers which I will try. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Comments: I enjoy your webpage and I learned a lot. I have a Sun conure that is almost one year old and your hints were valuable. I learned a lot since this is my first experience with a conure. I love pets (we have three dogs and a hamster). Previously I have parakeets, a parrot, lovebirds and cockatiels. But we better have one bird since they request and take too much time. My conure name is :"Bonita" Beautiful in spanish) Thanks for your information Take care, Martha from Puerto Rico

Comments: I have a one year old blue crown named "Harley". She is the the sweetest bird. Quite a vacabulary as well as her personality. I was doing a little research on conures. I have to take her in to 4 different science classes today for "show and tell". Our family enjoys her tremendously!

Comments: Is yours a one-bird household? I've been going to a lot of bird shows and keep falling in love with Amazons. I have a 2.5 year old Timneh Grey at home and was wondering what your thoughts were on multi-bird households. Is there a chance that the two might become friends? The last thing I would want is to have two birds who resented each other. I've worked hard with the Timneh (a rescue bird), and he's become happy and confident and a moderate talker. I wouldn't want to jeopardize his progress by introducing another bird, and I wouldn't want to neglect the Amazon by trying to overcompensate with the Timneh. Do you have any practical advice?

Comments: Thank you for allowing James Allen's "As a man Thinketh". You know, everybody is invited, just now, to a party, where is a table with everything one could possible desire.One only have to take it ! "Ask and you shall receive".I can take the thought that makes me happy.And I will receive its form or likeness. That's just simple. How much time and effort spent trying to visualize what I desire AGAINST what I really think and feel. Do you agree ?

Comments: I am very grateful for your info. I am researching all I can about my new Sun Conure who asked to go home with me last week when I was in the pet store getting cat food. Imagine my surprise when I went in for a can of cat food and came out with the most expensive item in the store! I am in the process of getting certified in Professional Pet Assisted Therapy and was wondering if you thought conures would be suited. Frances (after St. Francis, patron saint of pets and animals) is only two months old now but we are having fun together.

We convinced him to come down by pouring his Nutra-Berries back and forth into his food dish. Your site is wonderful. Hope this tip helps someone, even though I hope they never need to.

Comments: I also copied the book into Microsoft Word, making sure I got each italicized word accurately. The book is also published by Peter Pauper Press in Mt. Vernon NY. They sell it for $7.95. My much older copy origianlly sold for $1.00. It has no print date on it, so I can only go by the fact that it is yellow and brittle. I agree that it is one of the most important books ever written. Oddly enough, some of his quotes come from the Roman slave Seneca. It's strange how truth has always been around and just keeps bobbing up from time to time!

Comments: We got a conure 14 years ago from a garage sale.Go figure! he was already 6 years old at that time and now he is 19 years old. This morning I gave him-Freckles-is his name, a shower as I always gave him. After I got up stairs from the basement ,he because real limpy,unstabled on his feet,not to much life in him. I was wondering 'What the heck?' I took a warm clean towel and wrapped him in it to keep him warm. It almost looked like he was going into shock or something. This has never happened before. I held him for at least 10-15 minutes and then he slowly started to lift his head, but he sure wasn't himself yet. He even allowed the boys to pet him and touch his head. Now it is mid-afternoon and he is eating,drinking etc. He usually screeches or squacks,he sure isn't making to much noise. In all these years he was just an aggresser,biting with limited handling because he'd always bites. I just figured I write to you and see if this has ever happened to your conures? I did call the vet on this matter. I will just keep an eye on him. Thanks! Oh yeah! Enjoy your website on conures.

Comments: I was very happy to find your page as I did a search on James Allen. My father who passed away in Sept. at 81 lived by As A Man Thinketh. Ever since I was a little girl (I am now 40) he would share passages and thoughts from this great book. My father was very poor as a child and from nothing became a leader and innovator in the insurance and Mutual Fund Industry owning one of the largest Broker Dealers in the country for the last 20 years of his working life. He attributes much of his success in business and in life as a loving, caring, ethical person to the inspiration he received from James Allens writings. Thank you for putting together this tribute!

There's an adorable green conure with a black head at my local PetSmart, and I'm dying to get him (nevermind the fact that he's tamer than my current budgie, who was wild for a few months before I caught him.) How well do conures deal with being left alone during the day? My last budgie was ok with the TV on, but very happy to see us. Also, I'm wondering about biting- does it really hurt froma beak that big? Thanks a bunch!

Comments: I came across a snippet of "As a Man Thinketh" when I was in my late teens; I'm now in my 40's. It was the part, "Man is made or unmade by himself...maker and shaper of condition, environment and destiny". At that time, I didn't know who the author was but since that day, those words have lived in my heart. I've always felt an awe and a great appreciation for this unknown author (because I didn't know who they were was until today), who so eloquantly expressed how I felt about "thought". Today, I surfed the net just for the heck of it because I couldn't quite remember all the exact words and to my great surprise and delight, I came across this website. Thank you! I will share this site with my friends. Deb

Comments: A very close friend of mine had purchased "The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn", the four complete books in one copy, and read it. He had felt that this book would help me move forward in my life since I had many changes that recently taken place in my life. I read this and now carry it with me most days. I say my affirmations daily and have found a transformation of my philosophy, life and general well-being. I have now purchased several copies for my friends. What a chain effect. I have found so much inspiration from this book and from her teachings that I thank my friend often for his wonderful gift.

Comments: James Allen's writings are profound indeed. It should help the reader to prepare for the unique time in which we all live, and a unique Work with which to surf through it. I am refering to 'The Grail Message,'In The Light of Truth' by Abd-ru-shin; if you have not already heard about it. It is the Work for which writings such as James Allen's prepare the human spirit! Thank you very much for sharing 'As A Man Thinketh', and the brief history of James Allen's life. Wole Alade

Comments: I just purchased a pre-owned conure (Corky). I was told the previous owners could not keep him because they were moving out of state. On Friday the first day he was loving and sweet by Sunday night he started biting me. He is ok with other family members. At first he would just bite and hiss when I tried to take him off my shoulder. He was still loving would cuddle and kiss me. This morning he was also sweet at first, then all of a sudden he bit my lip. Do you have any suggestions?

I am used to finches, quaker parakete, cockatailes and a newly aquired Fischer Lovebird. The lovebird is the only one I have right now and learning a lot. I've always heard the exotic birds are quite demanding on time and attention, thus my research prior to purchasing. My husband and I breed paint horses, English Setter and Schipperke dogs. Just a little on the animal side and really enjoy it. Thanks for having me and it's been a pleasure vising your website. We have one too, www.bnbpaintranch.com, Sue -n- Bill Bates. Thanks Sue

She got loose from someone and flew into a friend's hair and a year and a half later shes a wonderful addition to our family. Although we had tried to locate her previous owner she has happily "trained" us as her newly adopted family. Any advice you might be able to share regarding biting is gratefully apreciated. She has quite the personality and "Tude". Reminds me of how much I miss New York actually. New York now is never more than a screech away for me. You can email me at the above address.

Comments: I just got my first conure. Chia is a gold crown and a little sweetheart. She (?) is four months old and so affectionate!!! I can't resist her and am constantly checking on her and playing with her. She has taught my quaker (Herbie) manners and he is adjusting well! They seem to be becoming great friends. Although in separate cages they like to sit as close to each other as possible. Chia is too "new" to play outside on the playground with Herbie but I don't think it will be long before they can. great site, Louie sounds like a real sweetheart!

Comments: Your page was quite helpful. I was just given a 20 year old bird, because the owner and he had become intolerable to each other. He was on a total diet of sunflower seeds and since reading your page he has been switched to a beginning diet of the kaytee food. He has also been tried on everything from carrots to cheerios. Willy seems to be settling in nicely. I had a small fischers love bird years a go and missed having a bird in my home. Willy is Green with a red head and redorange tips to his wing arch. He is gorgeous and well on his way to being a spoiled old man. Thank you for your conure expertise sharing. Linda

One is a dusty I thought she said and you had Dusky. The other is a cinnamon. She is really tender, the other still real nippy, My son Jaron is 6 and he is crazy about them. I considered letting a friend buy the other and he started crying, so I'll do my best with my little biter. I'm ready to be patient. He is just bossier to the other one but they are close. It will be a long learning process but I'm on my way. Thanks again, Cindy

I first adopted the Jenday and CB was sold twice to two more bad homes and then I was offered him when he was so mean, he was going to be destroyed. One day they recognized each other and have been best buds ever since. I never knew what to expect from them but the Jenday was close to me from the beginning. It has taken 3years for poor CB to be my friend, but he is now the comic of the family and a very special love. I thought I was the only person in the world with 'birdclothes' and nap partners!! Nice to know I am not crazy alone! I was tired of explaining to non bird people. Thank you so much for insight. Bonnie

Comments: We have recently reared a Green Cheek and it's now about 6 weeks old. I must agree, what characters. We've called ours "Cheeky Bird". He loves apple, loves bathing in the kitchen sink, loves snuggling up on your lap or palm of your hand flat on his back and will go to sleep like this. He (not really sure of sex) does tend to throw a bit of a tantrum sometimes but I've noticed that this is when he's ready to snuggle and go to sleep. Is this common and do you think it will pass? We are now raising a "Princess's Parrot" this is a new learning curve altogether.

Comments: My newly (6 weeks ago) acquired boy (?) "Ramesis" is already a part of the family. He is an adorable loud and demanding creature, full of personality and attitude. He spends a few hours in the cage when we are at work and he's out the moment we are back until we go to bed. I wish I knew why he attacks my husband so viciously. In spite of that we both enjoy having him so much, the pain/gain theory, you know, that not only he's always out, we cannot find it in our hearts to take him to the vet and have his wings clipped. Congratulation on your fantastic presentation. margarita

Comments: Hi Linda. I just stumbled onto your website. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it.I have been researching different types of birds because I want to find one that is just right for me. A week ago my best friend,Max passed away. Max was a Lorie and the best companion you could ask for. Although we have other pets, the house seems empty without her. Thank you so much for your stories. You made me smile. Have a nice day. Larry Clarke (Bristol Wisconsin)

Comments: Great information. I'm having problems with excessive screeching (due to being extremely spoiled) and will try covering his cage until he stops the screeching.

Comments: I have a nanday conure. His name is Charlie. I love my bird so much and do not know his age. I am curious how to determine an approximate age. I did read on another site that as they mature, their feet become blackish or darker in colour. Is this true. Charlie cannot speak yet either but he does TRY. The pet shop where I bought Charlie told me that he was about one and a half years old. When can they begin learning speech? Do you know? I loved reading your information. Also, would you know how to toilet train your bird? I keep a receiving blanket on my shoulder to catch any droppings, but I have heard that conures (Charlie is a black masked conure/nanday) can be toilet trained to go in their cage. Is this true? Charlie is VERY loving. He always gives me lots of kisses (he licks me) and he grooms my long hair! He makes a running water sound whenever I take a sip of coffee and he will make that pretty bird whistle sound only when I do not ask him to. If I want him to whistle, he will not!! Very stubborn I guess...or maybe he just wants to listen to ME whistle!! Any help with my quetions on age,toilet training, or when speech can start would be greatly appreciated. I enjoyed your site and your pictures of Louie/Louise!!! Thank you

Comments: I can't express how nice it is to hear (read) of someone else who has their heart stolen away from them by a bird! lol :) I have a sun conure as well-'Pretty Girl'- who was given to me as a cage/show bird. Now, after lots of love and trust, on both parts and about 6 months later, we are the best of friends. She (He?) has become my little shadow while I am home. (But I am not complaining...heeheehee) One of the cutest things she will do is actually crawl in my shirt and sleep! (Or, she will-after puncturing my shirt with lots of holes, put her eye up to one of the holes and just watch the world go by in the safty and warmth between my shirt and body.) I actually miss her when she is busy playing oh her own. lol However, I have come to a concern... While giving her her normal rub down that she loves so much, I noticed an air-filled like buldge just below her rectum... (her poopoo hole) Sorry, I don't know the "correct" wordage for that area...lol I am wondering if it could be gas or something serious. She is still as lovable and sweet as ever, but like you said on your web page, birds tend to "cover-up" any illnesses and such. Have you ever heard of anything like this? It may just be normal as well, and I just now noticed it... I'm not sure... If you have any ideas or feedback I'd be more than happy to hear from you! Hope you and yours are doing great!! I enjoyed reading your web site and found it to be most informative! Take care and God bless.. :)

Comments: Hi,Linda! It's so nice to be a guest in your hut! I feel, as a tired rambler, it is a very good place to have a rest for a while. And, it is so clean and cozy and full of beautiful decoration( I mean the excerpts) that I just forget to leave:) To be frank, there is a bit of shame for me that I can appreciate little about the themes of some articles(especially to those poems) as I am a chinese and know little about the background of the works. So, could you be so kind as to inform us some background knowledge of the works or just tell us why you like it? So far I want to know most is the poem of Christopher Logue--Come to the Edge. I have the foggest idea about why you appreciate so much? As far as I can see, he tended to tell us that we shall be brave to face the unknown or the to stride forwards as a pioneer just like the poet--Guillaume Apollinaire. Did I get the grip? Again, thank you for your great effort and expect to find in your room as many beautiful articles as possible. Best regards, yours Terry

I have cleaned my kitchen floor more in the past 4 days than I probably have in the past 4 months! He's a messy little guy, but a real sweety pie. Thanks for all your information!

Comments: Hello, I had a nice time reading your wonderful stories with your Conure. I have a Quaker that has been with me for about a month now, and he/she (Jade) is a wonderful friend. I have been interested in purchasing a Conure, but I am not sure how it would work out, now that I have a Quaker. I work from my home and Jade stays in my office with me and I'm not sure if he would become jealous with a new friend in the same room, (seperate cages of course). Do you think that they may have a screaming contest? All of my time is spent with Jade since he/she is in my office while I work, and he has become very attach to me. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Lynette

I then printed all chapters of her books and have been waiting for the final chapter. Today I decided to check to see if there had been an update and could not find your web site until I looked on my print outs and found the name Conure's Home and from that I was back home.

Comments: Hi LInda, We just got a Sun Conure at home. It stayed for a couple of weeks in the store(33& Bird in Manhattan) before we were allowed to bring it home. We are very excited but also a bit worried because the bird's breathing is a bit heavy, especially when he is out of the cage. Tomorrow we will take him to the vet. I liked your page very much and will keep on logging on to it; Rob.

Comments: thanks for some really great info. I bought a 9 month old hand raised conure about 3 months. she bonded really quick with me and likes to sleep in the same bed. I have put a sock in her cage that she crawls into at nite to sleep in. This weekend I was cleaning her cage on our open deck and she got loose. Flew over top the house and was gone but I could hear her sqwauking. I ran through the garage to the front lawn but still couldn't see her. Meanwhile my husband ran out onto the deck and saw her sitting about 60 feet up in a tree overlooking the deck where her cage was. We tried for six hours to get her to fly down but the two times she tried she slipped off the tiny branch she was on and scared herself and flew higher. During this time we tried food, treats, toys everything. Nothing worked. Finally we got out a 30 foot ladder, mind you she is still up over 60 feet in the tree, and put it against the house. She tried again to come to me only she slipped and scared herself again. This time she ended up facing away from us. There was a dead tree about 15 feet away from the tree she was in. We propped the ladder against that tree and up I went, and I'm scared of heights. I had a plastic bucket of her favorite treats, little round seed balls. I was about 20 feet lower than her but facing her and across from her. I called her and sure enough her little wings started flapping and shw was quivering back and forth trying to get up her courage to fly. It took her about 2 minutes and she finally launched herself towards the tree I was in. She landed on a branch about 10 inches from me. I extended my finger to her and told her to "step up" and sure enough she did. I then grabbed her securely and with my other hand dumped the bucket of seeds,(unfortunately on my husbands head) and stuffed her in the bucket and put the top on. Raced down the ladder and into the house. I consider it a miracle that we got her back. We call her Bubbles or Skwauky depending on how loud she is and she gotten in the habit of trying to eat anything that I eat and stealing from my fork as I try to get it into my mouth. They really do have strong personalities and she has still not forgiven my husband for yelling at her when we first brought her home. She is very protective of me and has divebombed assistants working in the vet's office when they got too near to me. She's trying to help me type right now. Again thanks for the web site Debbie Hegeman
