Skysuits wrote:Hi everyone! I don't have a bird yet but I will be getting a Green Cheeked Conure soon!🐦

I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions on toys, treats, cage items or any other things I should get for my bird! Also what kind of fruit and veggies should I try giving to them?

Thanks!


that is nice that you get a bird :)
but should you not know this thing about this breed, from this breeds Forum pages, you even can get some ideas in this pet bird Forum... or breeder from whom you get the birds..?
this are normal things you already Need to know bevor you even try to get birds....

-> also do you have a vet who can work with birds, or a vet who only works with birds....
do you know how to take care of a slightly sick bird, see when it is not well, when it Needs bether Food or mineral-vit powder-juice....

there are also real nice book about this birds breed, what to feed birds, how to cook for them, and great diy bird sites, then how to welcome them, how to train them...

but one thing i hope, i really do hope, that you did mean that you get two birds....!!! please get two, dont do this to a bird to keep it alone ;) :!:
how big is the aviary or large cage and the bird play gym outside of the cage?
for this a large bird you need atleast a 1x1.80x1.80/1x2x2m Cage.....

4-5 different size perches...best is natural wood from a tree that is safe for birds , some toys( 2-3 + other whom you can change out every other week to make it interesting) stinless steel feedeing-water bowls( toys should be too when they get metal on them)
you need a water spay bottle to spay down the feather each or every other day...or you can train them to go under the shower...


and so on and so on...
---> bevor you get this 2 birds....please make some list for good fruit and vegi, good plants and such....but also for all the bad things they should not eat.!!!
-also about there dayly care, feeding how how much how often, how you see if the bird is sick, then how often to go to the vet in a year or every other year....and so on
--> best places to put the aviary, as they Need enough true sun light, but not all the day, to draft or bad air,not dark and not to cold or hot...and so on.....
Please klick them or they will die°°!!!

Well...guess who's getting two new birds! My boyfriends mom works at an apartment complex and a tenant has to rehome his birds. She knows I already have one and asked if I'd want to take them in. I talked to the current owner and he was really cool, he found them a few years ago after someone abandoned them and had been taking care of them since, but was getting a new demanding job so he had to rehome them. One is a bourke and the other is a budgie. He's offering them for free, plus they both have really nice cages, toys, all that good stuff. It was kind of impulsive but I have the time, finances and attention for them, plus I'd been thinking about getting another bird anyways. Plus if I didn't take them in who knows where they'd end up, there aren't any bird rescues around here and even if they ended up in one, it scares me how easily people adopt birds and then just cast them aside. If I take them in I know they'll have a loving and safe home.

I'm picking them up Monday and I'm so excited, ugh. Between me and my Grandma there will be four birds in our household, lol.

My zebra finch just passed away unexpectedly. He was young and had everything he needed, so I want to quarantine his mate. It has been about an hour and she is frantic. She is calling and searching for him. She has a mirror, a swing, and a bell, as well as a foraging box. Is there anything else I can do for the bird? Would she like being in a more active area? Right now she is in my bedroom and I just care for them and try to make sure they were happy, and that was what they liked. Me popping in and filling the food dish and drinking tube, cleaning the cage every other day, watching them quietly, and singing with the printer when it alerted us it was out of paper. Obviously I failed at keeping them in good health. But what can I do for her? She is quite sad, and I just got her to stop plucking her mate, so I am afraid if I do not do something she will pluck herself.
