i have a new conure what can i do
Congratulations on your new bird! Conures are wonderful pets and can be lifelong friends. I'm not sure exactly what kind of advice you're looking for based on your question, but I'll try to give you my general new-bird-owner advice in hopes that it will help. If not, please feel free to post a more specific question. - Be sure that the cage for Felipe is not only secure, but large enough to allow for his complete wingspan and at least a little bit of flight. This is especially true if he will be spending a lot of time in his cage (like while you're at work). - Psychological stimulation is very important to conures - they're like toddlers. Offer several toys in Felipe's cage. Commercial bird toys are usually great, and you can find lots at your local pet store, or a big-box store like Petco. They love to tear things up, so paper to shred and cardboard boxes can be great, cheap toys for them as well. - If you're offering water in a bowl, you'll need to change it at least once daily. Mos

The girl I'm dating owns 2 Sun Conure parrots and she plans on bringing them over. What is the best way for me to greet them and make sure that they like me and that I do not pose a threat etc.? They are very close to her and very protective of her.
If your girlfriend knows what their favorite treats are, stock up on it! You'll want to begin slowly, and if at anytime the birds become stressed, take a break and let everyone relax. You can start by just offering them the treat by tossing it to them or their cage, until they are comfortable with you around. From there, you can work on offering a treat by hand, or letting them sit on your hand (most birds will bite if they come up on your shoulder and aren't used to you, so keeping them on your hand can help everyone feel comfortable!). As they get used to you, continuing to offer treats and just interacting with them can help you to bond. If they become stressed, bite, hiss, etc, placing them back in their cage and giving them a break, and then returning back to the previous step they were comfortable with is best.

So I got my new bird this for now. But I'm confused. Should I not feed my bird seeds and feed it pellets or is the feed ok that I have? What else should my bird have? Can he have fruits?
Hello again! These items look great for King, but the bag is correct - generally, parakeets and parrots should be fed a pellet-based diet to avoid fatty liver disease. Seed diets are high in fat (even without the sunflower seeds), so should be given as a treat supplementally only. Millet should also be given in moderation. Your bird can definitely have fruits, but include some veggies, too! Grapes, apple, banana, broccoli, kale, green beans, and peppers can be great for birds. Avoid avocado, apple cores/seeds, cherries (with seeds - seedless are ok) onion, and garlic. Dried fruits are ok too, just avoid the ones that have added sugar. I hope this helps! Good luck with King!

My Conure today has had watery stools a few times. He started having watery stools a couple hours after bathing and having blueberries. I recently started giving him fruits because I haven’t had him that long and just got him use to eating them. I al
Fruits and new food can definitely be a cause of watery stool, especially if it started after all these changes. I would remove any extra treats for a few days and only feed the new food to see if that helps settle his stomach down. Once he's settled in, you can then add in treats one by one to see how he does. If the loose stools continue even after a few days on the diet with no snacks, or he shows any other signs of illness, a vet visit is always best.

My green-cheeked conure is fine with me touching her unless she is somewhere higher up than me for instance, her cage or my shoulder. How should I correct this behavior?
Birds can sometimes considering being higher up than another object as "being above it" in a hierarchical sense. Interacting with Kiwi while keeping him on a lower perch, or encouraging him to step down lower with a treat prior to interacting may help reduce any aggression or biting behaviors while perched higher.
