- For everyone that is curious what it is like owning a Conure, in specific the Sun Conure. I go into great depth in this TH-cam video on what my overall PROS and CONS of owning a bird like the Sun Conure and whether or not I think they are the bird for you.

i just adopted a sun conure and he’s 5 months old, he was extremely shy and scared the first day but by the second day he was yelling at everyone in the house haha
Has he improved cause I recently got one and he's yelling a lot at me idk if it's normal tho lol
@@jeri7888 its very normal lol
Its quite normal but can also be a sign you don't have enough enrichment in the cage for them, so just make sure you have plenty of toys to keep them distracted throughout the day!
I met one in a pet store once. He was among the most beautiful, engaging, friendly birds I had ever seen.
To this day I want to adopt one!
Just buy one. I highly doubt it’s easy to adopt parrots
@@nightsphenom7122 All parrots are adoptions because humans have human babies ;)
@@nightsphenom7122 I adopted my sun, he was given up because his owners thought he was too loud.
@@nightsphenom7122 same thing,
Edi6: atleast in this situation
My conure says random words when he feels like it lol. He also laughs when someone on tv laughs 😂
My female Sun Conure is soooo loud especially when I’m across the room and she wants to be with me!!
yes!! lately my sun conure has been extra loud lately and i think it’s because i’ve been spending a bit too much time with her and she got super attached
Maybe think about allowing her to fly. Having a flighted bird is very fulfilling & recall training is a lot of fun.
Same. I have two😂
I’m male bird (sun conure) is super attached to me. I can’t be near the door or he screams
@@NancyH25 Yes it is.
My Sun Conure is 21 years old. But I still haven't clipped his wings since I had him. He likes to fly around the house and stare at the mirror.
Lmaooooo I clip my conure wings. He was madd at me for a year .I couldn't touch him more. We good now thow.💯
@@willcool24 thanks
@@willcool24 People like you shouldn’t be parrot owners
I have the vet do it during the warm months the same time I have his nails trimmed. If I didn’t take him outside I wouldn’t have his wings trimmed.
I have a Sun Conure, he is 2 years old
and so far my experience: it is a very special pet. They are usually very close to you, they become so attached to you that it influences them psychologically above all (in a positive sense). It is the nice thing of these birds that they never are going leave you.
Agreed. Been around all kinds of parrots for four decades but I've owned and raised Sunnies over the last six years and absolutely adore them. Sunnies are a lot more "snuggly" than most parrots because in the wilds of South America the entire flock will roosts in a hollow, unlike most parrots which roost on branches and only use hollows for breeding. Which is why Sunnies love to dive down the front of your shirt and press themselves against your body - they have evolved to feel safe and secure in warm, dark places, plus the bond with their humans is basically the instinct they would have in the wild for their life partner (like most parrots they are monogamous) so two innate behaviours combine to create a companion parrot that is more loyal and affectionate than most.
Agreed‼️ I love my little sunny‼️
Reminds me of a Mango lol 🥭
I have a sun conure
Oof my sun conure is named mango 😅
I really want a sun conure it’s my fav type of parrot
That’s what i named my sun conure
We just got one his name is mango habanero
Beautiful Conure! 🦜🙂 so colorful.
That's a macaw emoji idiot
@@highping5137 no it’s not idiot do you even know what a macaw looks like🤦🏻♀️
Brazilian birds are all beutifiul 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@@delilakolasinac6722 lol I have a blue and gold macaw and my grandma has a scarlet and a military macaw.
@@highping5137 gfy
Huh, I’ve never heard someone say “conure” out loud. I always read it as “con-URE” rather than “CON-yur”
Wow that’s a beautiful bird! He’s so colorful!
Bought on today.$80 here in Thailand.
As an ex breeder of Ring Necks,Cockatoo and Budgies, I am looking forward to the future.Thank you for your advice and info.Subscribed
Great video, Aaron! Really informative. A lot of great advice.
awwww your conure is so adorable, made my day!
Thanks for the info on feeding costs! This was actually a really good video on what to expect with a conure if you have experience with parrots! Your conure looks so happy with you!
Thanks heaps, I am glad it helped you out!
The bond with a sun is amazing. Love my baby. ❤️
It’s so odd to me the you have not heard one talk mine talks all the time he says: shut up, stop it/stop that,step up and that sucks. I find it funny how he knows when to say these words lol
im 11 and i have been saving up alot. im excited to get one and your video was really helpfull!
Nice video, you left great information and great suggestions on buying a sun conure :)
Great informative video. Arlo is very cute. My sun conure Echo loved watching as well 😊
I have a sun conure and he’s 19 months and my brother named him Sunny (very original). We don’t actually know if it’s a boy but from what your saying in that video with the differences between male and female I definitely think he’s a male. He also can talk he says “good boy” “kiss” “stop it” “happy” he can also laugh like a human and at the correct timing as well. He’s got the biggest personality and before we bought him we did a lot of research on which bird would be best for our family and he definitely is loved by everyone who meets him. He will go to anyone for a cuddle and a kiss 🥰
Do they sing also?
Great video, and very informative learned everything I needed to know
Thanks for this, great overview!!!
Thank you for this video! I’ve always loved sun conures and always wanted them, I love “personal facts” videos, this really prepared me for possibilities, like I wanted a male but now I’m thinking female !
I definitely prefer females in the bird world, in my personal experience they are quieter and if you can tame them they can be so much more loving!
Once again this is just my personal experience...
Love this info. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful video. Thank you very much.
I have had several tiels over the years and also been around cockatoos and macaws. We even had a full size toucan once, which I do miss. I now am the proud owner of a beautiful sun conure. You were spot on. They always have to get the last word in lol. Mine likes to chew on my fingers and take a good bite out of me if he doesn't get his way, but I love him and wouldn't trade him for anything. One should have parrot experience before getting one though. Learning to read their body language is a must.
I have 2 conures, and I love them so much
I"d love a sun conures, but they are to loud for my 80 sq m apartment. Thanks for the info - beautiful birds.
That's my same problem. They're so pretty though.
try african grey
@@vimalancocoa they are $1500-3500
Thank you so much you've helped me alot
I heard the bird say uh oh!!! So neat! very nice and helpful opinion! Thank you!
Thanks heaps!

My cousins own a Sun Conure named Mango, he's the sweetest bird I know. Just so friendly and cute.
I love Sun Conures so much!
They can be friendly but some can be territorial of their owner and become quite aggressive to other people.
Ive had a sun conure for 16 years but still watch video's like this. They are smart, affectionate, and beautiful pets. The only downside is that they are loud and willing to bite in order to communicate. When I was 8, my parents bought me one with a care book. Honestly, they need a lot more research than an outdated book can give.
Omg I have a sun conure too!!! They are amazing 😍
Amazing but loud!
I have a little sunny too and I think you’re spot on as far as their disposition they grow very attached to one person and yes, they’re very comical never a dull moment‼️ and my sunny is probably 14
years old now‼️🥰
14 years is such a great age, keep up the great work Sandy!
I can’t wait to get mine! I have to wait 6-8 more weeks 🥰
Good luck!!
Was it a hatchling?
Is that MJ in the background? I’m distracted by it and the legos stuff on your desk. Love! Your bird is gorgeous!
I got my Sun Conure wings cliped one time and the Vet told me not to so I never did again, my Sun Conure sleeps with me the second night that I had Zuce I opened the cage and he came and crawled in bed with me and he has slept with me ever since he loves it and I love it he loves getting a massage with his belly and wings getting rubbed at the he same time he also loves getting a getting a drink of ice water from my mouth he is my best buddy I got Zuce as a companion after my mini stroke
2:59 he agrees that he is a very destructive bird 🤣
He knows how destructive he can be ahaha!
This is kind of sad, because my dad didn’t like how my sun conure was too loud. I went to my grandma’s house because she was sick.I came back to the news that my father sold my bird away and it’s just disappointing. My father didn’t buy any toys and my bird was just bored.
This happened yesterday, I will miss u birdie, hopefully ur next owner will treat u like a queen.
Wow, you're dads a piece of shit no offense.
Yeah it’s not cool to sell a family member’s pet without telling them. I would move out of that house. That’s an unforgivable offense in my opinion.
arlo is so beautiful! my husband really wants a son conure but the noise though😅
Hi I’m thinking of getting one , I don’t mind him being loud in the morning but I just want to know if their loud during bed time if they hear noise that somebody is awake. Cause my mother in law wake up at 4am
I have mild allergies is the conour bird the better choice to keep for allergies if i want a bird
My cockatiel does climb up shirts to be close.. I love my shadow 🥰
My conure started screaming as soon as he heard yours
Thank you!
Aaron, I've got the same bird with more green wings, i have no idea about taking care of it, it has no feathers on the head, neck and chest, it's getting some but slowly.
the problem that it starts screaming or calling like 5am every morning, i don't know what to do and no birds experts in my town in Thailand, it feels scared every time I change the water or give food.
please advise
I own a sun conure, and the cons definitely outweigh the pros.
When your conure chirped my bird chirped too 😂
(Ps mine is not conure tho it’s cockatiel)
I love conures I really really want one … and ima name him either tango,mango or zuko
I am thinking of getting a sun Conure. I already have a 1 year old Quaker parrot. Would that be okay to get a sun conure?
I taught my sun conure how to rap and sing some bomb asf songs
Uh okay...
Hes now known as lil uzi vert
great video
I love your handsome sunny!! So cute omg 💕 thanks for this vid.
My sun cunure LOVES pistachios. When im open any type of Bag or eating bread or something like that she will click her beak wanting some of it and it’s so hilarious and cute
We have a sun conure and a pineapple green cheek conure. They are amazing birds. Very friendly
I love my Sun Conure, super friendly and playful!
2:19 I had a cockatiel and it did the same thing. Climbed up my sleeve and cuddled under my chin or next to my neck.
Our Cockatiels are super friendly and will hang out on us no issue 😍 we got them as babies
Cockatiels are super cute, I have 3 females now!
i currently have a green cheek conure, he is very messy as well, i did some research and what i got from it is that the reason all these guys, along with other large birds is because in the wild, smaller birds like my budgies will scavenge for the food they throw on the floor or in the wild the ground. its just their nature. really very interesting to me to be honest.
It is quite interesting actually!
Did you know that my cousins wife found a Sunset Conure in her yard? She lives in Vally Stream. In Vally Stream, theres lots of adorable parrots!
My sun conure recently lost her best friend a 22 year old love bird. Today she is like trying to hurt herself by flopping around on the floor. When I pick her up she is fine until I put her back on the cage. What’s happening?
Bro is that berzerk music in the background? 😂 interesting choice but I’m for it
my sun conure was aggressive, bossy and would rip my earrings out of my ears and crunch them up. But he was also very cuddly and would hide in my dressing gown sleeve and if i made an arch of newspaper he would rush up and down through "under the bridge"..and i loved him.
They are a beautiful and fun bird to have, however they are an extremely loud bird too 😅
My comet is the definition of clingy he follows me everywhere all I have to do is take a step in the direction opposite of him and he comes 100% like clockwork.
He's the sweetest birb loves alot of people. Hates alot of people too. I just love having a birb like him.
I have a question, are the females and males the same size or is one bigger? And do each female and male live the same age?
Have you had any diagnosed issues with health? My niece is beside herself and vet is involved but looking for any advise.
I used to have a male cocktail named Cherry 🥰
He was very tame, I could put him in my shirt and give him kisses 😘
As for his brother Paco, he was a little more wild, not as tame as Cherry, I think it depends on the personality of the bird as well as the breed
That's so sweet, my Cockatiel love sitting on my shoulder while I do stuff around the house!
Hello. What is the difference between your bird and a high red suncheek?
hey! they are not destructive. that's pejorative. they are just super aggressive product durability testers. mine eat zupreeme for $4 per lb out of the bins at the pet store, and veggies (cucumber, colored peppers, cabbage, carrots, celery, tomato, etc.) and bits of tree seeds (mine adores pistachios and can open them himself). not expensive to feed. and bits of fruit, no more than a tsp of fruit per day. too high in sugar. mine seem to have a definite preference for bananas for some reason. I don't get it but I'm not a bird. cages you can get off fb marketplace. my conure flies over to my shoulder all the time and says several different words, such as hello, step up, kisses. you do have to vet them 2x per year, that's the most expensive part of owning a conure
Hi! Where did you get Arlo? I really want a Jandaya Conure but a Sun Conure is really cool too!
I got him from a breeder off Gumtree, he had an amazing setup with all his birds!
the very first thing any sun conure owner will tell you is they are LOUD!
listen to this guy!
My sun conure doesn’t like to be held. I always see people holding their green cheeks like a little ice cream cone, but I cannOT put my hand on Rocket’s back. He’s a rescue and I wonder if that is common with all sun conures or if it’s a previous abuse related fear. Also, what cage do you have for Arlo? Rocket has a big cage but he chewed through one of the bars and I need a new one. Awesome video!
My sun comure was abused and I can’t lie her on her back either. She also can get quite nasty during the spring time with giving me nasty bites. She loves to be pet in the head though. She is 18 years old. I have had her 17 years.
So CUTE
For their food what is best to keep out 24/7 I also gives fruits and veggies in the morning and night
I’d recommend just leaving there pellets out in there dish and they obviously just there fruit and vegetables daily! 🥬🍎🍐🍊🥕
My sun conure can say the word "kisses" and laugh. He is fiesty as much as he is affectionate.
should i get a sun conure of a african grey parrot can you tell me
I have a two and a half green cheek conure who is extremely loud and very intelligent, says lots of words and short sentences in the right context. I think it’s a male, because it is extremely loud and has only bonded with me and hates men 😅 but I got it when it was very young and sweet, was only 12 weeks old and I called her Lailah. I can’t bring myself to change her name now, plus she knows her name and spends most of the day calling herself 😂😂😂 but I am super convinced Lailah is a male. By the way, whilst playing your video Lailah kept replying to Arlo ☺️ Arlo is so beautiful 😍 Sun conures are my favourite birds, I would love to have one.
I have a green ring coner he super friendly and loves to be pet and I just got my sun coner mango there both boys they are ok with each other but they can use some work
First 🧡
Came for Arlo, stayed for Arlo
You are so sweet, one of my least favourite viewers :D
@@AaronLewisOfficial I watch these on mute, less distracting 🥰
Oh btw does Arlo do autographs?? What about Isla? 😍😍
@@kirrilynewman6541, not for you....
SORRY
@@AaronLewisOfficial you gonna lose a sub Mr, give the people what they want!
My local PetSmart has a sun conure for sale and s/he thought my fingernails were tasty lol. S/he also seemed to enjoy hearing me talk to him/her. Makes me want one again.
I have a sun conure and cockateil and theyre good friends.
My sun Conire doesn't like peeing pet on his back but is very social and will go to anyone! The only toy I found that lasts is a little metal bell with a metal chain to hang it from lol
Beautiful conure I will be getting my baby soon can’t wait and on another note dude sounds like Stewie from family guy 😬
I want to buy one right now!
VillageMacaw And Lucky The Dog same
Would you say from your experience that the green check conure bites more than the sun conure? I have a yellow sided green cheek conure. He is 2 years old and he bites frequently.
Jeanne Okerlund, definitely! My Sun conure never bites...
@@AaronLewisOfficial bummer!
Wow really?? I’m used to cockatiels so the sun conure was a bit of a shock! I’m surprised yours doesn’t bite you? If I do much as take something my bird wants to climb on he’ll tear into my hand. He’s been getting better but my god are their breaks strong! Is this an issue with my training?
Never had a green cheek but I have scars from my sun Conure. Her bites were quite bad this year as it is spring time aka hormone season.
@@t4u112 I totally hear where you are coming from. I have an 18 year old Sun and an 18 year old Quaker. My sun can do wasaaay more damage than my Quaker. When gives a bad bite she will hang on and not let go. Again these type of bites typically happen in the spring.
I'm thinking about buying a hand raised breeding pair of sun conures and also a green cheek conure female
I have a green cheek and he loves to crawl in my sleeves. My budgies and African Ringneck do not. My hubby wants a sun conure to add to our bird and human family.
Wow sun conure😀😀 i only have two tame lovebird
I have a sun conure and green cheeked conure and Indian ringos and budgies
I really want a sun conure. Ever since a few years ago when I found out that they existed I wanted one. I will name is either Piper, Parker, Skittles, or Mango.
They are noisy little birds!
I named mine skittles
How do you know the difference between the male and female? I lost my Sherbert about a month ago and he was very loud. I miss him and love him so much. He would've been 14 years old this June. He had my heart and I'm not sure if I want to get another one because I don't want to feel like I'm replacing him. He was very territorial but very loving and so sweet. I don't know what to do without him
Sun Conures can't be sexed by its looks, you wont know 100% unless you get it DNA sexed!
What happened to your green cheek conure?
How did you train your so well mine gets pretty mean sometimes she like has a bipolar personality and will be lovey-dovey or wanna bite your finger When she’s making you think that she wants on your hand when really she just wanted to let you in that she’s really nice and stuff but I can’t flip upside down her belly like you do and pet her
Getting a bird on their back takes a BUNCH of trust from the bird. I’d definitely work on building a stronger bond with your bird and I’m sure she’ll let you in the future!
How similar are they to cocktail? I really wanted a cocktail but the aquarium my mom works at is adopting us a sun conier.
Well for one, you can’t drink them and they won’t make you drunk.
Cockatiels are more tame then Sun conures, i used to own one and he enjoyed singing and dancing but he wasn’t very clingy and he didn’t like more then 3 toys in his cage. But that’s personal experience
out of all the conures sun conure are more prone to talking a general rule of thumb is the louder the bird the more prone to being able to talk they are but that doesn't mean all sun conures will be open to learning to talk they may mimic some sounds but that's usually where the cut off is for most of them as far as conures go.
How often do you feed him
Nice sun
Bro violated siri
I’m sorry for your loss I’ve lost two of my Green cheek conures 😢how old was piper when you first got her?
She was about 11 weeks I believe, she was still a little baby!
I will forever miss the bond I had with her.
Where can I get one
