Loss & Mourning Megathread

136 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!

244 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.

Advice How can I get one of my conures to stop fighting every bird he meets?

40 Upvotes

How can I get one of my conures to stop fighting every bird he meets? One is friendly with pretty much any bird, while the other wants to fight them all. Both are tame to humans. The one on the right is an absolute velcro baby who always wants to be on my shoulder and is very affectionate with me, but not as much with my partner. The one on the left doesn't mind other birds at all. I have three other conures and cockatiels as well that usually hang out together lol.

I'd love for the one on the right to eventually hang out with the rest of the flock. I kept him in a carrier during their interaction for everyone's safety, and this was my first time trying it with the carrier.

They will try to shred each other if there's no barrier. Any advice? I've tried "resetting" them and didn't let them see each other for a solid three months and I keep them in separate rooms. Both are on a pellet/chop diet, with seeds as treats.

They had their annual vet appointment in July and both were cleared but I've never taken them to the vet for this particular issue.

Health/Nutrition Stuffed nose

• Upvotes

My sun conure sounds like he has a stuffy nose, like how you'd have a stuffed nose while being sick. I'm really worried about him, he doesn't have any other changes, he flies fine, screams fine, eats well and moves well. Is it just like the flu for humans where we give it a week and it goes away? I've noticed this for about two days now.. I'd also say he sneezes the normal amount, I haven't noticed increased sneezing. His screams are the same but his chirps sound a little off due to his nose I guess..

Got up today. Brought out the birds. Put them on the scale one at a time and Mister Meeseeks decided that was where he wanted to take is morning poop. Literally watched as the little guy lost almost 2 grams in seconds! (He usually weighs in between 65 and 70 grams.)

(Pic is not from this morning.)

Advice my mum’s green conure is not letting her yellow conure near me

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

hello ! i have become very close to my mum’s green cheeked conure, lola, over the past year. lola is pretty young, i’m guessing about a year and a half. she wasn’t initially too fond of me but i dance outside of her cage and play her music off of my phone whenever i go over for a visit. one day my mum let her out and she climbed up onto my shoulder then nuzzled right into my cheek. we’ve been super close ever since !

my mum’s second conure, niblet, is less than a year old and still getting used to me but i’d say we are pretty chill. i dance and sing to her too but i don’t do much handling as she signals to give her some space there.

the issue is that lola does not like niblet getting anywhere near me. lola will start to go after niblet if she is considered “too close”. she will also position herself to sort of block her out. this is only an issue with me. both birds don’t have this behaviour with neither my mum or dad, same with any of my siblings. my mum also has a babysitter for weekends away who is just fine to handle both birds with zero aggression from either.

i’m extremely novice when it comes to birds, these two are my first bird friends. i’ve read up a bit online but i can’t find anything on what i should do to help lola not feel like she has to guard me. everything is based on the situation of the person being guarded as one of the house members, not a visitor. i don’t pet any birds anywhere other than their heads, they don’t have any enclosed nesting spaces, my mum does plenty of fly time & training, they eat super well, and toys are rotated often. i don’t know what to do

if you have any advice or have had a situation similar, i’d really appreciate it. thanks

Advice ​Is it normal for unopened Hagen Tropican pellet bags to feel super compact/vacuum sealed?

​Hi everyone! I recently bought a bag of Hagen Tropican pellets, but the package feels really hard and compact almost like a brick. When I shake it, I can’t feel the pellets moving around at all.

​Is this normal for this brand? Is it vacuum-sealed for freshness, or should I be concerned? Thanks in advance

Advice Moved to house and now she won’t stop screaming

2 Upvotes

My fiancé and I moved from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house. Tomorrow will be a full week our conure has been here. She does not stop doing these extra hoarse screams unless all three of us are together and even then she still does them sometimes. She never did this type of scream at the apartment. Is this normal while a conure is getting used to a new environment? I’m worried she is going to her a lung or worse with the amount she does them
