I bought mine at a pet store, I believe he had previous owners that gave him up becausei noticed he has abandonment issues.He only wants to be with me, and screams as soon as he hears my voice. Makes me tear up, I’m unemployed right now so we spend most of the day together. He’s going to be so sad when I get a job 😭😭😭. But I have a big family to keep him company!
Any issues can always be worked on through training, all it takes is time and patience with our little feathered BFFs! It's great that he has you and your family :)
Every sun conure I have ever met acts like they have abandonment issues.. they just always want to be with you for everything.. If I gave my sunny 24 hours 7 days a week he would start to get upset that he didn't get 8 days a week. They will adapt to your lifestyle. Just give it time
I lost my heart and soul after 19 years . I miss her every day . She was beautiful, special . And life without her is horrible. I love you Paco till the end of time .
Oh my goodness! That’s a long time! I’m so sorry for your loss🥺❤️🩹😢 I can’t even imagine how hard that is, they stay with us forever and we are forever changed🤍🤍🕊️ sending love
mine is missing and i can’t find him. he has food right in front of him everyday. can he find food himself? i’m worried. also what should i do? i searched for him around the neighborhood 3 times.
I'm very fortunate to share my life with a gorgeous Gold Cap Conure. He can get loud. I use a light blanket over his cage when he's constantly screaming. The covering quiets him down. I make sure that I remove the blanket when he's quiet, and that seems to work. To me, his loud vocals are WHO HE IS, and because I love him, I definitely accept his loud vocals. Conures are everything you described, thank you so much for your video. I would love to see your tips for quieting things down. Thanks again.
yes, my sun conure darwin when he starts biting and screaming and chewing on our walls. we put him in his cage and put the blanket over. he starting not to bite and chew because he knows what will happen
This is true... somehow we didn't know this until we made them an Instagram account. Many suns are Mango or Sunny! haha Oh well, it suits them very well!
I got Skittles in 2011. He was 1yr 2wks old and had been to three different pet stores. He basically chose me as I was not in the market for a new bird (I had a cockatiel at the time). When I first saw him in the display case he came down to see me and was 'hopping' up and down with excitement. I'd never seen a bird hop and I gasped. A lady nearby heard me and came over to see. So I stepped away so she could see him. He totally ignored her and went up his tree perch and began to preen himself. She made a snide remark and then walked away. Before I left, I went to say goodbye to him and he came right back down and did his hopping thing and rolled over. I wanted to buy him then and there but the clerk talked me out of it when I mentioned I live in an apartment building. For the next four days I could not stop thinking of about him so I did a ton of research about them and decided I had to have him so I bought him. He is VERY loud and for the first two years I had him, he was impossible to deal with. But that was because I wasn't setting limits and was basically spoiling him rotten. So, I retrained him using timeouts and I am CONSTANTLY enforcing boundaries and now he is VERY obedient (for a sunny anyways, lol, mischief is their middle name). I lucked out because he was potty trained by a lady in the pet store and I didn't realize this til he kept flying off my shoulder and pooping in his cage or on the playstand and then flying back to me. He was also taught to make 'kissy noises' by that clerk. Long story short, he is MUCH quieter than he used to be. I enforce boundaries BUT I also had to make a LOT of changes to my daily routine and also make numerous sacrifices to accommodate his needs. He's free-flighted so he gets PLENTY of exercise and is quiet most of the time. In fact, the only time he screams now is to 'alert me' to danger (or perceived danger) or to point out something (like his food or water dish is empty) or he wants a bath or wants to go bedtime. While I would never recommend someone getting a sun conure if they live in an apartment, I made it work for me but I'm more an exception than a rule. I should also note, I'm disabled so I am home 95% of the time. I go out maybe 2 to 3 days a week or about 2-3 hours each time. So he doesn't spend much time in his day cage. This has a lot to do with him being so quiet. I don't have company often (in fact, the only time people come over is usually maintenance or pest control during the day). If I have company over, I wait til after he goes to bed. He's not properly socialized because I'm pretty much a loner. So the down side is, I can't let him out with other people around. If they get within 6 feet of me he will attack them and he's REALLY nasty about it too. He's a sweetheart with me, but he's Hitchcockian Hellbird to other people, unfortunately. Just to show how jealous he gets, if I want him to come to me and he doesn't want too, I will talk sweet in my 'birdy voice' to the remote or the pillow or whatever and he'll crap a brick and fly right over as if saying "oh, hell no. you do NOT talk to ANYONE but me in that tone!" But I love him dearly and he's now 11 years old and we've been together just over 10 years. I feed him organic pellets, so he's well cared for.
Aww, that's a love story! You 2 were meant to be together💛💛💛 very lovely to read about how you and Skittles have grown together over the years. He is very lucky he found you and that you found him! Sun Conures tend to be one person people and you are his person so it is natural for him to be jealous or protective, Mango can be the same way! But we have been working on socializing him more and more🙂 Skittles is in good hands we see and well taken care of, well done! Wishing you and Skittles a pleasant day! Cheers!!
I just found your channel looking for advice and info on sun conures. We just got ours yesterday (8/27/23) & we absolutely love her! Our son is 11 & has had a lutino cockatiel (our very first bird) since March. We were at a bird supply shop yesterday to buy seed and toys and saw that they had LOTS of birds for sale that are all hand raised by the owner of the store. We ended up with a 4 month old female (she was hatched on April 1, 23) & our son named her Salsa, (our cockatiel's name is Chip & our son loves Mexican food so we now have Chip & Salsa😂as pets)
Lol! I find it funny how my parents’ Sun Conure got her name. Her name is Cuddles. And man, she is annoying! Yet she loves listening to my piano playing. Even when I was little many years ago, she kept watching me when I was playing with my toys. Nice to see Mango though. Kind of did not have a choice as a kid when getting adopted to a family who already owns Cuddles and previously had two love birds.
Good thing i found this on my recommendation cause my cinnamon cockatiel died yesterday... and i was thinking of getting a conure and yes i did sob for 5 hours straight i felt guilty for some reason so i made a promise to myself to get another bird and to raise it till it ages out.❤️ so thank you so much!!❤️✨
Please let me know if vitamin supplements is very important to birds over all I think my daughter did not know about it that is why my peach died yesterday am so sad,sad because I always look forward to touching the door and call out peach it's me Jay and there goes the noise is up until I let her sees me and it tone down kisses was not too much for her I loved my peach bad she dances responded to my voice with sound ,music an moves to it
Hi, I love this video. I have a sunny and everything you said about them is accurate and simple. I just send this video of my friends who’s learning about my Sunshine. I’ll give you a feed back once my watches this. :)
As soon as I heard the name mango I almost started tearing up, I had a bird named mango I loved him with all my heart he was everything but he had an accidental but probably painful death I hope to meet him in the afterlife one day😢
My Sun Conure, Skittles is very happy and as you said, vocal. He talks sometimes he say’s “night night” “Baby baby” “Skittles” and “Hi” we also taught him to wave Hi
Mango is adorable!! I've had my sun conure, Lester, for almost 4 years now and he's a handful, but I absolutely love him!! They are incredible animals and I could cuddle him all day! lol. What veggies do you use in his chopped up mixture? Lester isn't super crazy about veggies, but he loves fruit! Watermelon and grapes especially. Of course though I want him to eat me veggies, so I'm curious what you use. Also, quick tip, make sure Mango has more than just round perhes to perch on. Having different textures, shapes and sizes is not only good for them, but its necessary. If they only have round perches, it'll end up hurting their feet. You may or may not already know that. You're obviously a wonderful, loving and educated fur and feathered momma! lol. Its amazing what these birds are capable of and all that they teach us. To those who are thinking about it. They're very time consuming, but if you have the time and are ready to make a HUGE, long term commitment, then they're also super rewarding!! 🦜🤗🥰
Lester sounds very cute!! Mango eats all his veggies I make him chop - sometimes I make my own recipes but usually use the birdtricks cookbook birdtricksstore.com/collections/health-and-diet/products/natural-feeding-system-digital-download?rfsn=4048129.56de1 and answer how to get your bird to eat veggies in a recent video th-cam.com/video/qOZXqaGYMEY/w-d-xo.html :) hope this helps! && yes Mango has many different perches I am aware of how important it is for their feet and foot care health :) thanks for all the love!🤗🤗
I used to feed my conures grapes until I discovered that grape skin holds pesticides more than any other fruit. Organic?? Perhaps, but do you really want to take the chance of poisoning your baby? I feed mine bananas, apples (no seeds!), watermelon, blueberries, canteloupe, pineapple, strawberries, and craisins.
So, I got my Sun Conure from a local breeder in 1996, Baby was hand raised and hand fed. Wife drove, and baby just crawled all over me on way home. Don't know why, but just knew it was a female bird. Laid some eggs around 7 years old first time. Had to let her sit them until she lost interest otherwise would start laying again. Loves to get in water and things she shouldn't, so like a toddler, have to be aware all the time. If cooking something wet like soup or have water in the sink, have to close the cage. Loves crawling down my arm to get into about an inch and a half of water in the kitchen sink and splash all over for about five minutes than enjoys a bundling in a cotton towel for another five minutes. Loves to get near the edge of my dinner plate and pick and choose. If we have a salad, have to set one for her also, else can't get near my own. Absolute favorite in the salad is the tomato, followed by cucumber and any fruit. Attacks bananas, tears the peel to pieces ferociously, but likes the banana. At around 15 years old, figured how to flip open the sliding door to her food. The cage was outside and of course she flew away. Just left the cage open and out and a tape recorder on endless loop. She was returning to the cage to eat and then leaving for about a week. Stopped putting food in the trays and started eating outside by the cage at dinner. She finally flew down to me, gave me a screech and started in on my salad. Put her in her cage and no problems since. She is twenty-six now but still active. Got a quaker 3 years ago, they get along pretty good as long as not in the same cage.
I'm glad u mentioned "sanded perches" sams nails r super long and sharp so I been trying to figure out what to do about it. But he doesn't like new stuff in his house. We just got him a few months ago and he is 4 years old already. So it's just kinda testing the waters so to say with him so far
Whenever the nails get too sharp I go for a nail trimming with our avian vet. To keep the trimmings to last longer it helps to have a sanded perch in a short term perching spot only** and you can also train your bird to do little nail files at home. Episode 25 of the parrot podcast talks about it!😀
I’m getting a conure in a few weeks. Thanks for the great video and would also appreciate the video on how to stop them from being loud in case that would occur. Thank you again 🦜💚
I have a Sun Conure, an Indian ringneck, and 4 cockatiels. The ringneck has taken to be his mother she loves him and he loves her. He also loves me and doesn't like other people trying to pick him up. He loves cuddles and playing a lot. They are the sweetest.
My sun conure is very loud n trainable, my daughter said quiet n he stop til around 5p.m, he start getting loud letting me kno time for bed, so smart n beautiful birds.
I had one for 20 years passed away now have my 2nd one for 8 years. Mine is quiet when I work and then on break gets loud. He is funny and loving and affectionate. He does talk alot. Says hi wheres mama ok yeah. His name is ren and says rennie rennie ren. And when we leave says bye rennie. Also a watch bird and tells you everything and watches and joins in with dog.
Aww! They are great companions :) Their personalities are so fun! We love Mango so much! I haven't met any sun's that can talk that much so that's amazing! What a cutie :) Thanks for sharing about Ren
Im going to move to protrico soon we have a green check conure and i want one for me 11,12 or even 13 birthday or a Christmas so i want to make sure sun conure is the right bird for me
I shared a few videos that might be helpful to learn more about conures/sun conures. Feel free to look through my videos and see which ones interest you 😊😊 cheers!
I have a Sun Conure and she/he is soooooooooo smart and loves me. My Sun knows when i get home from work and loves to fly on me when i walk in the house and gives me kisses. Very very smart bird and loves people!!!! great bird but LOUD hahahahah, but love it!!!
We had a sun conure surrendered to my pet store that could say hello, good morning, good night and mimic a human laugh. His name was petey pablo, and his favorite food/treat was red pepper and sunflower seeds.
I have a sun conure,,, Sam,,, I would love to see a video of how to train him not just to be a lil quieter but to say a few more words also. I'm gonna follow ur videos so maybe I can catch that video. Thank you for sharing.
I have a video on that: th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zjDUJIcpRiWqzkED and for learning new words the best advice I’ve received from guests in @theparrotpodcast is talking to them a lot and repeating words a lot too! Hope this helps☺️
I just got my 3 month old sun conure yesterday. His name is also mango 😂 He is starting to get loud. He has lots of green feathers but i see some yellow. He even eats from my hand.
🎉I have a Sun Conure he is 3 years old and he sleeps with me, he loves meeting people but if I tell Zuce no he lessons to me the when I go to the pet store to get anything and I handle other birds there he seems to know that and he won't come to me but when he does he really gives me a lot of kisses
My mom got a female sun conure named her Skittles, looks just like Mango. She is definitely loud, set off their home alarm system by the chirping. I'm a dog guy, have a 10 year old german Shepard, never thought much about birds but the sun conure is very cool. Lots of personality. It flew over to me inside the house and landed on my arm, shocked me at first lol but very funny bird.
I had a Jenday.Conure named Cookie.. she was playful, fun , energetic, smart. She would say "Vicki Vicki G'day mate !" She loved to fly. She loved her ladders and wooden exercise gym. Conures are the best . Cookie lived to be 27 yrs old.
Hello, I am your new subscriber. I am going to get my first Conure tomorrow and my kids are excited to have this beautiful bird. This video was very informative👍
@@PoodlesandParrots My Conure is now almost of 2months and we are enjoying this amazing bird. We are feeding him/her (not sure about the gender) formulated food with the help of syringe. We named the Bird SUNNY (quite obvious) and now SUNNY is our family. We have not kept any cage for SUNNY and the bird is living in my kids room. Should I keep any cage for the Bird or let it move freely in my home? Please suggest. Thanks
@@FISHONWHEELS Sunny is a happy bird I’m sure! I would recommend my other video th-cam.com/video/lmG1z9Vvc3c/w-d-xo.html and I would also suggest getting a good sized roomy cage or aviary for your bird. It’s good to let them be free and exercise while spending time with their human flock everyday but you want to have a safe space for them. You want to have them in the aviary for sleep time (12 hours) and whenever your bird is not supervised - if your busy or going out.
@@FISHONWHEELS additionally a cage is good because it will have perches where they can perch up and have their own toys to destroy. Plus they can poop in there without a mess all over the room.
I'm nois sensitive and I got a sun conure four years ago, I hand reared her and at first she was extremely loud but after about a year she seemed to quiet down a bit and now she doesn't make that much nois but I think I just got lucky
Maleah Maleah I have a 16 year old Sun Conure. When he was younger he would never shut up. Now he almost never screams unless there is something sincerely wrong he is making me aware of. It took many years before A). He mellowed out and B). He developed the presence of mind and knowledge of what I want form him. whenever there is a nice quiet moment where both of you are sitting there relaxed and your conure closes their eyes.. Tell them how good they are for being quiet. I learned from my father to constantly reinforce how good and sweet they are being when they are quiet and presenting desirable behavior. Telling them they are bad for being loud makes a young bird feel like they are being attacked and they dont learn anything. You need to slowly teach them by rewarding those calm moments with words like good or quiet so that they actually understand the terminology and what you want from them when you holler back at your bird to be good, or quiet down.
@@maleahmaleah7865 your conure wants to please you.. sadly it can take years of repetition before they really learn what to do and avoid to make you happy. It's well worth the effort considering how many years we get with them.
How often they poop if kept inside the house ? I am building my first Aviary for love birds and along with it would love to have a cuddly bubbly lovely sun conure that can live inside the house.
Parrots poop on average every 15-20 minutes. I would only recommend housing birds together once you know they get along well and there won’t be any issues. Sun conures are a bit bigger than lovebirds and you want to ensure safety for each bird🫶🏼 every bird also has their own personality🙃
@@PoodlesandParrots thank you for the prompt reply. How do you manage it while the bird is inside your house, without making the furniture and all dirty?
Had a ring neck as a kid. They are ridiculously noisy with that piercing scream they do and sun conjures are supposed to be worse lol! Such a beautiful animal!
I don’t know how loud ring necks are! If they are similar to a sun Conure they must be loud but these training tips helped us with these gorgeous birds😍🙂🙂
Thank you 💛 - I have a recent video on bird chop: th-cam.com/video/0nh9tW0SAR0/w-d-xo.html - you can freeze portions or keep it fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days
They're definitely loud and poop constantly but I've had mine for about almost a year and she's very cuddly and bites way to much on stuff . But i definitely love her we have another parrot but I'm not sure what type of parrot she is
I just got my bird s few days ago and EVERY TIME I get it out it flys to my fan I have 2 and they flock together if 1 flys to the fan the other flys do you have any thing to help?
If it’s a standing fan you can move it if it’s a ceiling fan I would always keep it off and create a bird areas in your home, incorporate more tree stands and other areas for them to have for perching and hanging out instead of the fan. Tree stands with toys and fun things to do like foraging! Hope that helps and I have several videos on ideas for foraging etc 🙂
I think the first thing you need to know is that you miss them terribly when they are gone. I lost my beautiful Mango last month after 22 years together. I have a number of other birds, but he has left a huge hole in my life. People used to see me walking in safe areas of the countryside with him and would ask "do you know you've got a parrot on your shoulder?". He occasionally flew off a short way but always came straight back or sat and waited for me to collect him. I don't think you've really lived unless you've shared your life with a Sun Conure. They are endearing, loyal, funny but extremely loud.
so I've owned budgies and now many many.. many years later I would love to own not one but two Sun Conures but I don't a couple as I don't know what to do with the babies afterwards lol how do I know if they are males? I'm looking for the biggest cage I can find too as I do want them to have their space not like the bird version of a Japanese apartment hahaha. I am planning on letting them fly around too.
He drives me nuts! But than he starts to cuddle and be cute and he steals my heart
They do that but they always know how to win you over #smartbirbs
Our sun conure, Carlos, can say: night-night, thank you, bye-bye and recently he has started saying..hi baby. Carlos is 12 yrs old and is the perfect traveling companion in our motorhome. He loves it!
Wow that’s wonderful! You are lucky you have a unique sun conure💛😍 I hope Mango will say MAMA😊 cheers!

LUCKY
Where did you get urs ?
Ours flew in to our business. 😳 He’s still kinda scared but now gets on my arm. And slowly building trust.
Flew in! How did that happen! Hope all is well!
Hi, I love this video. I have a sunny and everything you said about them is accurate and simple. I just send this video of my friends who’s learning about my Sunshine.
I’ll give you a feed back once my watches this. :)
Thank you! That's wonderful to hear!😊
LMFAO , 5:24 IS AWESOME WITH THE FOREST BACKGROUND!
thanks :P:P
As soon as I heard the name mango I almost started tearing up, I had a bird named mango I loved him with all my heart he was everything but he had an accidental but probably painful death I hope to meet him in the afterlife one day😢
My Sun Conure, Skittles is very happy and as you said, vocal. He talks sometimes he say’s “night night” “Baby baby” “Skittles” and “Hi” we also taught him to wave Hi
Aw, what a cute name! I love it! What a good and smart boy Skittles is; well done! 😊💛
Love this video!! I have a 2 year old sun conure. Love him so much!! L.P.
That is awesome! So glad!❤️
My Princess is so sweet!! Thank you for the info
i love this parrot ❤😊
I have a conure she is so smart, yes she cuttles on me and talks ,sings with me she also plays with me she is adorable. I LOVE HER
Aww adorable! Those are all signs that she loves you tooooo😍💖💖poodlesandparrots.com/blog/posts/signs-that-your-parrot-likes-you
Mango is adorable!! I've had my sun conure, Lester, for almost 4 years now and he's a handful, but I absolutely love him!! They are incredible animals and I could cuddle him all day! lol. What veggies do you use in his chopped up mixture? Lester isn't super crazy about veggies, but he loves fruit! Watermelon and grapes especially. Of course though I want him to eat me veggies, so I'm curious what you use. Also, quick tip, make sure Mango has more than just round perhes to perch on. Having different textures, shapes and sizes is not only good for them, but its necessary. If they only have round perches, it'll end up hurting their feet. You may or may not already know that. You're obviously a wonderful, loving and educated fur and feathered momma! lol. Its amazing what these birds are capable of and all that they teach us. To those who are thinking about it. They're very time consuming, but if you have the time and are ready to make a HUGE, long term commitment, then they're also super rewarding!! 🦜🤗🥰
Lester sounds very cute!! Mango eats all his veggies I make him chop - sometimes I make my own recipes but usually use the birdtricks cookbook birdtricksstore.com/collections/health-and-diet/products/natural-feeding-system-digital-download?rfsn=4048129.56de1 and answer how to get your bird to eat veggies in a recent video th-cam.com/video/qOZXqaGYMEY/w-d-xo.html :) hope this helps! && yes Mango has many different perches I am aware of how important it is for their feet and foot care health :) thanks for all the love!🤗🤗
I used to feed my conures grapes until I discovered that grape skin holds pesticides more than any other fruit. Organic?? Perhaps, but do you really want to take the chance of poisoning your baby? I feed mine bananas, apples (no seeds!), watermelon, blueberries, canteloupe, pineapple, strawberries, and craisins.
Thanks for your video. My female yellow bird is 18 yrs old... I Had no idea until recently they do tricks.. Im excited to try n work with her..
So beautiful bird
So, I got my Sun Conure from a local breeder in 1996, Baby was hand raised and hand fed. Wife drove, and baby just crawled all over me on way home. Don't know why, but just knew it was a female bird. Laid some eggs around 7 years old first time. Had to let her sit them until she lost interest otherwise would start laying again. Loves to get in water and things she shouldn't, so like a toddler, have to be aware all the time. If cooking something wet like soup or have water in the sink, have to close the cage. Loves crawling down my arm to get into about an inch and a half of water in the kitchen sink and splash all over for about five minutes than enjoys a bundling in a cotton towel for another five minutes.
Loves to get near the edge of my dinner plate and pick and choose. If we have a salad, have to set one for her also, else can't get near my own. Absolute favorite in the salad is the tomato, followed by cucumber and any fruit. Attacks bananas, tears the peel to pieces ferociously, but likes the banana.
At around 15 years old, figured how to flip open the sliding door to her food. The cage was outside and of course she flew away. Just left the cage open and out and a tape recorder on endless loop. She was returning to the cage to eat and then leaving for about a week. Stopped putting food in the trays and started eating outside by the cage at dinner. She finally flew down to me, gave me a screech and started in on my salad. Put her in her cage and no problems since. She is twenty-six now but still active.
Got a quaker 3 years ago, they get along pretty good as long as not in the same cage.
Very loud sound ang very energetic
How can I train them to be less noisy? Do you have a video that shows this? Thanks

I'm so greatful 💛 🙏 for you 💓! I just got Charlie, my sun.....I'm so in love
Thank you!😀 Hope my videos help you!💖
I just got my sun Conure like a week ago!! I love Tango my sun Conure!! But my green cheek is so sweet too…I love himmmmm too
Aww so sweet! 🥰
I'm glad u mentioned "sanded perches" sams nails r super long and sharp so I been trying to figure out what to do about it. But he doesn't like new stuff in his house. We just got him a few months ago and he is 4 years old already. So it's just kinda testing the waters so to say with him so far
Whenever the nails get too sharp I go for a nail trimming with our avian vet. To keep the trimmings to last longer it helps to have a sanded perch in a short term perching spot only** and you can also train your bird to do little nail files at home. Episode 25 of the parrot podcast talks about it!😀
I’m getting a conure in a few weeks. Thanks for the great video and would also appreciate the video on how to stop them from being loud in case that would occur. Thank you again 🦜💚
It will definitely occur with any conure!😆☺ th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c0-uVUejrpRTTTNh
I have a Sun Conure, an Indian ringneck, and 4 cockatiels. The ringneck has taken to be his mother she loves him and he loves her. He also loves me and doesn't like other people trying to pick him up. He loves cuddles and playing a lot. They are the sweetest.
Awww so many birdies😍😍 thanks for sharing❤️
My sun conure is very loud n trainable, my daughter said quiet n he stop til around 5p.m, he start getting loud letting me kno time for bed, so smart n beautiful birds.
Smart good birb ❤️😊👏🏻👏🏻
Mine can poop on command i will use this against my enemies
*He has gotten too powerful*
I just say "bathroom" and mine flies back to his cage and goes. Then, he flies back. Very few accidents happen. Best bird I've ever had.
I have one that poops at almost 90 degrees 😆
He’s too dangerous to be left alive!
@@lizr9894 I have a quaker that does that. 🤣😂
Funny my wife and i are interested in adopting a sun conure in my area and his name is mango too! We hope we can get our own Mango!
I had one for 20 years passed away now have my 2nd one for 8 years. Mine is quiet when I work and then on break gets loud. He is funny and loving and affectionate. He does talk alot. Says hi wheres mama ok yeah. His name is ren and says rennie rennie ren. And when we leave says bye rennie. Also a watch bird and tells you everything and watches and joins in with dog.
Aww! They are great companions :) Their personalities are so fun! We love Mango so much! I haven't met any sun's that can talk that much so that's amazing! What a cutie :) Thanks for sharing about Ren
Thank you. This was great.
🙂👍🏻💖
Im going to move to protrico soon we have a green check conure and i want one for me 11,12 or even 13 birthday or a Christmas so i want to make sure sun conure is the right bird for me
I just have plan to adopt one in the future 😊 they are beautiful ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I have a Standard Poodle, Macaws, a Jenday Conure, and a Cockatiel, the most beautiful, humorous, and intelligent lifetime friends imaginable!
What beautiful friends❤️❤️

I shared a few videos that might be helpful to learn more about conures/sun conures. Feel free to look through my videos and see which ones interest you 😊😊 cheers!
I have a Sun Conure and she/he is soooooooooo smart and loves me. My Sun knows when i get home from work and loves to fly on me when i walk in the house and gives me kisses. Very very smart bird and loves people!!!! great bird but LOUD hahahahah, but love it!!!
That's so cute :):) sun conures are very affectionate.. I love that about them!!
We had a sun conure surrendered to my pet store that could say hello, good morning, good night and mimic a human laugh. His name was petey pablo, and his favorite food/treat was red pepper and sunflower seeds.
Did he find a good home?
I have a sun conure,,, Sam,,, I would love to see a video of how to train him not just to be a lil quieter but to say a few more words also. I'm gonna follow ur videos so maybe I can catch that video. Thank you for sharing.
I have a video on that: th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zjDUJIcpRiWqzkED and for learning new words the best advice I’ve received from guests in @theparrotpodcast is talking to them a lot and repeating words a lot too! Hope this helps☺️
Yes please! Teaching to be quiet!!!

I just got my 3 month old sun conure yesterday. His name is also mango 😂 He is starting to get loud. He has lots of green feathers but i see some yellow. He even eats from my hand.
🧡💛💚 More Mangos 🥭😍🥰 Sun conures are one of the loudest of the conures - he will probably get louder & more yellow will come through over time 🙂 enjoy!
Another mango here, is pretty common name for sun conure, I guess 🤣
🎉I have a Sun Conure he is 3 years old and he sleeps with me, he loves meeting people but if I tell Zuce no he lessons to me the when I go to the pet store to get anything and I handle other birds there he seems to know that and he won't come to me but when he does he really gives me a lot of kisses
Nice ❤ and Interesting ❤❤ video
@@cyberdyn1 thank you!😊
I just got mine! He's almost 4 months!
Awwww 🥰😍 what's his name?!
How can i tame my sun conure
My mom got a female sun conure named her Skittles, looks just like Mango. She is definitely loud, set off their home alarm system by the chirping. I'm a dog guy, have a 10 year old german Shepard, never thought much about birds but the sun conure is very cool. Lots of personality. It flew over to me inside the house and landed on my arm, shocked me at first lol but very funny bird.
That's awesome! Sun conures are such vibrant and lively birds but they can be very loud! I can't believe the alarm got set off with the chirps😆
Hi I’m from Australia and your doing great
Hello! Thanks so much for the feedback! :D YAY
I had a Jenday.Conure named Cookie.. she was playful, fun , energetic, smart. She would say "Vicki Vicki G'day mate !"
She loved to fly. She loved her ladders and wooden exercise gym. Conures are the best . Cookie lived to be 27 yrs old.
Aww that’s so lovely!💞 & what a fun name, Cookie had a long wonderful life😊😊❤️
Hello,
I am your new subscriber. I am going to get my first Conure tomorrow and my kids are excited to have this beautiful bird.
This video was very informative👍
Hello and welcome to the channel!😊 Congratulations they are great companions with lots of TLC😍 thanks for the positive feedback!
@@PoodlesandParrots My Conure is now almost of 2months and we are enjoying this amazing bird. We are feeding him/her (not sure about the gender) formulated food with the help of syringe. We named the Bird SUNNY (quite obvious) and now SUNNY is our family. We have not kept any cage for SUNNY and the bird is living in my kids room. Should I keep any cage for the Bird or let it move freely in my home? Please suggest. Thanks
@@FISHONWHEELS Sunny is a happy bird I’m sure! I would recommend my other video th-cam.com/video/lmG1z9Vvc3c/w-d-xo.html and I would also suggest getting a good sized roomy cage or aviary for your bird. It’s good to let them be free and exercise while spending time with their human flock everyday but you want to have a safe space for them. You want to have them in the aviary for sleep time (12 hours) and whenever your bird is not supervised - if your busy or going out.
@@FISHONWHEELS additionally a cage is good because it will have perches where they can perch up and have their own toys to destroy. Plus they can poop in there without a mess all over the room.
MY CONCURE TALKS AN KISSES ME AND PLAYS WITH ME AND SINGS WHEN I SING SHE IS VERY SPECIAL I LOVE HER DEARLY
They can be so loud and so annoying! But when my Chiquita gives me cuddles, it makes up for it.
They can definitely be loud! I can always recognize the sound of a sun Conure 🤭 but their personalities are exquisite🥰😍🥹
Cordelia the green cheek conure says hello, rainbows should stick together.
HELLOOOOO❤️🙂😊
very informative
I absolutely adored my sun conure. He was the sweetest little guy ever. I miss him 😞❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Omg 2:15 the third picture of him napping 😂
☺️☺️☺️
Your baby is beautiful. I have a pineapple . He is been mine for almost 17 years ❤.
Thank you💛🧡 awww that’s a long time how beautiful ❤️
My green chick says hi TooRuk which is his name and he says stop and mimics my laugh too and my kids laugh!!
Very cute! Mango also mimics my laugh and my sneeze 😂
I'm nois sensitive and I got a sun conure four years ago, I hand reared her and at first she was extremely loud but after about a year she seemed to quiet down a bit and now she doesn't make that much nois but I think I just got lucky
That is lucky because it’s not common for suns 🙊🍀
Awwwww igual a mi sun conure , Imita mi risa , mis besos y trata de decir cosas jaja lo amo 🥰
Beautiful bird 🦜 and beautiful woman
Thank you!
I’d love to see a video on how to teach my Sun Conure to be quieter!
:):) th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.html
Maleah Maleah I have a 16 year old Sun Conure. When he was younger he would never shut up. Now he almost never screams unless there is something sincerely wrong he is making me aware of. It took many years before A). He mellowed out and B). He developed the presence of mind and knowledge of what I want form him. whenever there is a nice quiet moment where both of you are sitting there relaxed and your conure closes their eyes.. Tell them how good they are for being quiet. I learned from my father to constantly reinforce how good and sweet they are being when they are quiet and presenting desirable behavior. Telling them they are bad for being loud makes a young bird feel like they are being attacked and they dont learn anything. You need to slowly teach them by rewarding those calm moments with words like good or quiet so that they actually understand the terminology and what you want from them when you holler back at your bird to be good, or quiet down.
@@anthonykryzak273 Thank you! I will use your suggestions!
@@maleahmaleah7865 your conure wants to please you.. sadly it can take years of repetition before they really learn what to do and avoid to make you happy.
It's well worth the effort considering how many years we get with them.
All of that is correct ✅
Nice video and good information
thank you!! :)
Yes please make a video to get my sun conure to be less loud
th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1DpPnOMq3Zh1Oofz
My sun conure CoCo had several words and a few phrses she appropriately used , "daddy loves CoCo Coco sweet, " and more
What a smarty feather pants!🥰😊😊
How often they poop if kept inside the house ? I am building my first Aviary for love birds and along with it would love to have a cuddly bubbly lovely sun conure that can live inside the house.
Parrots poop on average every 15-20 minutes. I would only recommend housing birds together once you know they get along well and there won’t be any issues. Sun conures are a bit bigger than lovebirds and you want to ensure safety for each bird🫶🏼 every bird also has their own personality🙃
@@PoodlesandParrots thank you for the prompt reply. How do you manage it while the bird is inside your house, without making the furniture and all dirty?
Yes I would like to train my Gumbo to be quieter, he's only 5 weeks old
They aren't quiet pets, that's for sure! But these tips might help th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xC3qJHkArYRXOGaF
I just bought a sun conure 2 days ago. It’s gorgeous don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl but I also have a blue quaker
Thank you so much for the video ❤️
Aww you're most welcome! ❤️
@@PoodlesandParrots ❤️😄😊
Had a ring neck as a kid. They are ridiculously noisy with that piercing scream they do and sun conjures are supposed to be worse lol! Such a beautiful animal!
I don’t know how loud ring necks are! If they are similar to a sun Conure they must be loud but these training tips helped us with these gorgeous birds😍🙂🙂
Hi, I would like to know how to train the Sun Conure to be more quiet.
Sure thing! I will make a video on this topic next!😊😊
Video is coming this weekend💜
My sun conure is my alarm clock. As soon as the sun comes up my girl is going “EEEEE EEEEE” she’s so much fun though and loves to cuddle
In my opinion the best kind of alarm clock😊 so cute!
Yes please do a video how to train them to be a little more quite
:) Check it out here : th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.html
I love Sun Conure
They are so beautiful!☀️
i have a sun conure named darwin, he can say good night, kisses, and actually started saying my name.
Cute!!😀😀😍
Great information. Thanks for sharing. I don’t think Mango made a peep.
How do you keep the chop salad fresh and for how long?
Thank you 💛 - I have a recent video on bird chop: th-cam.com/video/0nh9tW0SAR0/w-d-xo.html - you can freeze portions or keep it fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days
Please send me the video of how to train your sun Conyer to be quieter‼️❤😂
th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sIAcP0L9wKfNCsG6
Very nice beautiful
Thank you 💛💛
They're definitely loud and poop constantly but I've had mine for about almost a year and she's very cuddly and bites way to much on stuff . But i definitely love her we have another parrot but I'm not sure what type of parrot she is
That definitely sounds like a SUN CONURE :):)but they are lovely birds and great companions
I have one conure I love ❤️ him
Hi I have Sun Conure bird, His name Mango.. .. so funy and smart, very noisy 😁😁😁. Your Mango also so cute... ♥️♥️♥️
Aww it's a very popular name haha - cuties pies they are! Thank youuuu 😁😁

I NEED a video on how to teach my sweet Gavi to be quieter! I don't mind it so much but the dogs and especially my husband fiercely disagree!
We have a video on that too :) th-cam.com/video/KQlxZifw2Ag/w-d-xo.html
Give hubby his marching orders !!
I just got my bird s few days ago and EVERY TIME I get it out it flys to my fan I have 2 and they flock together if 1 flys to the fan the other flys do you have any thing to help?
If it’s a standing fan you can move it if it’s a ceiling fan I would always keep it off and create a bird areas in your home, incorporate more tree stands and other areas for them to have for perching and hanging out instead of the fan. Tree stands with toys and fun things to do like foraging! Hope that helps and I have several videos on ideas for foraging etc 🙂
Ok thx
She is so funny
what is the name of the song with the parrot at the beginning
The pellets fresh from the bag always smell like it's a pastry.
I have a sun conure named mango 2 years
🥭🥰💛💛
there birds reminds me of the carolina parakeet
My bird is named Mango too! :D
I think the first thing you need to know is that you miss them terribly when they are gone.
I lost my beautiful Mango last month after 22 years together. I have a number of other birds, but he has left a huge hole in my life. People used to see me walking in safe areas of the countryside with him and would ask "do you know you've got a parrot on your shoulder?". He occasionally flew off a short way but always came straight back or sat and waited for me to collect him.
I don't think you've really lived unless you've shared your life with a Sun Conure. They are endearing, loyal, funny but extremely loud.
Mine is loud is 2years old is my husband love
Mango will be 2 years old in July :D
so I've owned budgies and now many many.. many years later I would love to own not one but two Sun Conures but I don't a couple as I don't know what to do with the babies afterwards lol
how do I know if they are males? I'm looking for the biggest cage I can find too as I do want them to have their space not like the bird version of a Japanese apartment hahaha. I am planning on letting them fly around too.
The only way to truly know the gender is to do a gender test with your avian vet!
im adopting one of these today and his name is mango as well
Congrats! It’s a very popular name 😊
