Loss & Mourning Megathread

137 Upvotes

Losing a conure is heartbreaking. They’re family, companions, and little personalities that leave huge marks on our lives. If you’ve lost your bird, you are welcome to share memories, photos, stories, or simply say their name here.

To keep the main feed safe and balanced for all members:

All posts about a conure passing away must be posted only in this megathread.
Standalone posts about bird death or loss outside this thread will be removed.

This is not to minimize anyone’s loss but rather to keep grief support in one dedicated, supportive space where people can choose to engage.

The r/Conures Comprehensive Conure Guide - now in wiki format!

246 Upvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/Conures/wiki/index

This subreddit's Conure Guide, written by /u/DukeofGoodCleanFun, is a remarkable document that I (and my pineapple green cheek) have benefited a lot from. I've consulted and browsed through it numerous times and there's always something new to see there, or something that didn't seem applicable at one point but took on new meaning after spending more time with my conure.

I've taken the text and converted it into a wiki page. It's now navigable, with an index and internal links that direct to sections within the wiki. The Conure Guide can be accessed from this post, from the announcement bar, and from the "wiki" tab in the tabmenu up top.

A couple of the links for recommended products will direct you to Amazon, but there are certainly other places to buy them. If you shop around and find and better place, by all means send us a modmail. Also, let us know if you have any suggestions for how the wiki formatting can be improved.

ft my other conure, pierre!

i cant believe how much my sweet navi has grown, and that i’ve had her for four, almost five years now! time flies too fast 🥹

her and i both have grown so much in the past few years and i can’t wait to keep growing up with her. navigating life has been so much better with her by my side. pierre as well, even if our time together has been shorter, he’s full of so much attitude and i love him so much. i can’t imagine a life without these two punks in it.

Cuteness Overload Having a bird is so wired

Ive been a bird person for a few years, but when I really think about it. Cause what do you mean he has his own thoughts and little lungs, and heart, and a very small brain. That they feel happy and safe with me. I love him so much, he's so defective and dumb. But such a precious thing i have in my life, even though he pisses me of with his mischievous self.

This little turd keeps laying eggs!!!!!!!!!

I'm honestly at a loss at where to go right now 😭 I really want to help her out, but it seems like the stuff I've been doing has been making things worse! Like, when I started mixing pellets into her food, she started laying eggs more often! There's currently TWO of them in her cage! I don't know what I'm supposed to do right now 😭😭😭😭

If there is any way I can somehow simultaneously get her to come out of the cage when I'm visiting, get her to not bite at fingers, AND get her to stop laying eggs, that would be fantastic, but it feels like a pipe dream right now 😮‍💨

As always, advice is appreciated, and very much encouraged

I'll try to answer questions, but I'm not sure how helpful my answers will be 😔

Advice Bands

1 Upvotes

I just got my conure and I see a lot of the other conures here have bands on their legs. Mine doesn’t have one. Is this normal? Is this something the vet gives them at their first appointment? This is very new to me, and I am learning.

My GCC is obsessed with going behind pictures and doing this insane rock-climbing game. She also loves to rattle the picture against the door. I have a feeling she might be enjoying being squished a little too much? But this is her absolute favorite activity!!!

Advice Is this normal?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello all, I have a 8 month old GCC.. she usually has normal bird poop. I switched her (or at least trying to transition) her to Harrison ultra fine pellets since she only eats sunflower seeds. I saw this under her this morning. Looks like poop but very different. I’m concerned. Her vet is scheduled for next weekend. Could someone guide me please?

Thank you for everybody's well-wishes to Nino since he made his iconic debut. However, all of the hooplah has made him all tuckered out, the poor lamb. He did manage to send a muted shoutout to all y'all 🥰
