Personality: Conures are active, playful, bold, and affectionate. One minute they'll be acting the clown, climbing on their toys and screaching in mock anger, the next minute they'll be curled next to you, begging for a scratch. Hand-fed conures are real sweethearts, always begging for attention. They're great at learning tricks; many will lie on their back and "play dead", and hanging upside-down from a finger is an easy one. Some conures are are one-person birds, others more out-going. Regardless, he'll probably pick a favorite person, and they'll be some liberties he'll allow only that person. They can be moody, but in a good way. Some conures can be nippy, especially with people they don't know, but a little careful training can rid most of the problem. Overall, conures are affectionate clowns who are a whole lot of fun to own. Compared with other birds: Conures are more rambuctious than cockatiels, and demand more attention than a parakeet. They're more "happy-go-lucky" and babyish than Poicephalus. They're not as prone to behavior problems as the larger parrots. People suitable as conure owners: If you're thinking about one of the Aratinga conures, or one of the other louder conures, you may want to think twice if live in an apartment or have close nieghbors. Other than that, you need to be able to put up with a rambuctious, sometimes pugnacious, bird who knows it's mind and isn't afraid to show it. You'll need to be able to put up with the occasional ear-splitting screech (especially painful when the bird's sitting on your should!), and possibly the occasional nip. Many conures make fine family pets, as they do well with kids (with supervision); however, this is individual and some conures will not tolerate children and may bite. If you want a sweet, adorable, affectionate bird and don't mind noise, take a closer look at conures. |
