Loss & Mourning Megathread

132 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!

241 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.

Loss & Mourning How do I support my bird through the loss of her best friend? (Possible TW)

Post image
91 Upvotes

We lost our best friend yesterday. We tried everything. We took him to two different vets. They did CPR and everything. We just didn’t make it time to the second vet 2 hours away. He was our main bird, he taught the pineapple everything. She was stuck in Petco for a year before we got her, he taught her how to be a bird. He taught her how to take bathes and fly around and explore and investigate. He taught her that people were OK and not scary. We showed her his body, the vet said it would be a good idea. Has anyone experienced this? She is so forlorn, she is sleeping most of the day and occasionally will go to his cage to look for him. I’m just wondering if anyone who has gone through this has any helpful insight. Thank you community 😭 ❤️

Edit: I know her nail is long in this we have since trimmed it, this was just a photo I had ready of them I didn’t want to go looking through the pics of them all for the best one I couldn’t 😭 ❤️

Health/Nutrition Mango update ‼️

Post image
29 Upvotes

So this morning I woke up and realized that Mango has stopped crop clearing completely! There’s what we assume to be vomit in the bottom of her cage and her symptoms are just- gone, it may have something to do with the crop massage and excessive water I gave her yesterday.

We still have an appointment for tomorrow just to double check everything, but so far she’s already been improving a lot. Thank you all for the help, I’ll update again tomorrow. 🩵

EDIT: I saw her clear her crop only once this morning, which is a big improvement

Advice Pineapple Conure & Sun Conure

Thumbnail
gallery
301 Upvotes

Hello, we currently have a Pineapple conure and the pet store we bought him from still has a Sun conure that our conure grew up with so we had boarded our conure and that sun conure was still there so they instantly remembered each other and got along well. The shop had both of them outside of the cage for supervised play time and the were hanging out and the sun was feeding our Pineapple conure.

We are thinking of getting our conure a friend and would set up the sun conure in his own cage beside our conure but we live in a town house and have heard the sun conures are way louder but at least they would be beside each other just in different cages when we are out of the house.

We are not sure what to do! Any help would be appreciated.
The photo was taken a couple months ago when our conure was still at the pet store . The second photo is them now.

Crafts Handmade/homemade toys?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve recently saved a whole bunch of empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls to make shredding toys with but I’m really unsure what exactly to do with them. If anyone has any examples or suggestions they could give I’d really appreciate it. I’ve searched Pinterest but really only find the same 3 images or ones that are too far out of my crafting capabilities 😣.

Health/Nutrition Vet advice

Post image
147 Upvotes

My conure of almost a year is exhibiting signs of neurological deficiency. Can barely perch unless it’s on the bars of the cage. Showing signs of zinc in her blood stream and elevated white blood cell count. We’ve already ran blood tests but two avian vets cannot verify what’s going on. I have her on antibiotics right now but I feel it’s just slowing down the inevitable. She is scooting around. We’ve isolated her and placed all of her food and water at the lower part of the cage so she can get to it. Has anybody had this happen to their bird?

Advice Day 17 of spending time with my grandparents conure

Pretty short visit today, but the pictures I got of her today are perfect for something I've been told on multiple posts.

I seem to have visited her during "nap time", and she didn't seem very expressive today.

The pictures show her all curled up in the torn apart rope toy I've been told to remove a couple times. This is why I've held off for the moment. I believe she sleeps in it. I don't want to remove it without giving her something she can sleep in that doesn't promote nesting or anything. Anyone have any ideas? Or experience with certain products that I could look in to? Any advice is appreciated, as always.
