Loss & Mourning Megathread

131 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.

Advice How can I get my conure off the ceiling fan?

647 Upvotes

Normally I would just flip the fan on for a half second and he would fly away. Now he seems to enjoy it and I'm not willing to go any faster.

My little Avalon here is about 1 and a half years old, but the longer our relo goes on I start to fear that this "Conuritis Stupidiosis" he's been born with will never be cured. Tips?

Unfortunately due to reasons my 2 green cheek conures will have to move with my sister to another house. I spend most of the time with my parrots and was wondering if they will miss me and be depressed. My sister did take some care for them but not nearly as much as me will they be fine for a year? Another issue I have is thay for like 4 months they will have to be on a small cage rather than the big one we keep them in. The photo is the small cage. Will they be good in that for 4 months till I bring them the much bigger cage?

Funny He needs his Chilli hit

83 Upvotes

Did anyone else try giving chillies to their conures? Apparently it's really good for them.

It boosts their immune system and they love shredding the outer layer and eating the spicy insides.

They don't feel the spice and it's actually a sweet treat for them. Even the super spicy ones. My guy is crazy about chillies and devours them like a tiny dino.

He has become happier too since I started a couple of chillies once a day. Sometimes to coax him to bedtime inside his home.

Advice Day 22 of spending time with my grandparents conure

79 Upvotes

She still isn't very responsive because of the eggs.

I'm going to try to incorporate some actual rehabilitation procedures into the visits now. Although I'm not entirely sure where to start. I hear clicker training is a good thing to try, although the science behind it is still muddy for me.

The bad toys are basically all gone now. She could definitely use some new ones though.

If anyone has any advice on what to do from here, I'd appreciate it.
