Loss & Mourning Megathread

133 Upvotes

Losing a conure is heartbreaking. They’re family, companions, and little personalities that leave huge marks on our lives. If you’ve lost your bird, you are welcome to share memories, photos, stories, or simply say their name here.

To keep the main feed safe and balanced for all members:

All posts about a conure passing away must be posted only in this megathread.
Standalone posts about bird death or loss outside this thread will be removed.

This is not to minimize anyone’s loss but rather to keep grief support in one dedicated, supportive space where people can choose to engage.

The r/Conures Comprehensive Conure Guide - now in wiki format!

238 Upvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/Conures/wiki/index

This subreddit's Conure Guide, written by /u/DukeofGoodCleanFun, is a remarkable document that I (and my pineapple green cheek) have benefited a lot from. I've consulted and browsed through it numerous times and there's always something new to see there, or something that didn't seem applicable at one point but took on new meaning after spending more time with my conure.

I've taken the text and converted it into a wiki page. It's now navigable, with an index and internal links that direct to sections within the wiki. The Conure Guide can be accessed from this post, from the announcement bar, and from the "wiki" tab in the tabmenu up top.

A couple of the links for recommended products will direct you to Amazon, but there are certainly other places to buy them. If you shop around and find and better place, by all means send us a modmail. Also, let us know if you have any suggestions for how the wiki formatting can be improved.

Normally I would just flip the fan on for a half second and he would fly away. Now he seems to enjoy it and I'm not willing to go any faster.

Advice Weird way my conures sleep caused a bald/flat patch

Thumbnail

My conures sleep weirdly together. Mimzy sleeps with her head tucked into Chowder’s head while she’s on the side of the cage. They sort of tense against each other so they don’t fall.. a bit unique, but they’re conures.

Chowder has a bit of a flat patch in that same space. It’s not bald at all but just super flattened. Is this of any concern?

My little Avalon here is about 1 and a half years old, but the longer our relo goes on I start to fear that this "Conuritis Stupidiosis" he's been born with will never be cured. Tips?

Injured Bird Dislocated hip

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently posted a couple of weeks about my sun conure limping. He had an xray today and turns out he has dislocated his right hip. The vet said manual manipulation is almost impossible due to how small and fragile a sun conure is. They said the only treatment options are either leave as and make him as comfortable as possible or surgery. Has anyone experienced this before? I’m very worried and really sad to see him not able to walk anymore. He’s still eating normally and himself but only really flies instead of walking. I’m in the process of setting him up a hospital cage and trying to limit his movement as best as possible. We are still waiting for a second opinion from the avian vet who deals with surgery/ orthopaedics before we finalise what to do next. Any suggestions or information welcome and would be highly appreciated. 🙏

Unfortunately due to reasons my 2 green cheek conures will have to move with my sister to another house. I spend most of the time with my parrots and was wondering if they will miss me and be depressed. My sister did take some care for them but not nearly as much as me will they be fine for a year? Another issue I have is thay for like 4 months they will have to be on a small cage rather than the big one we keep them in. The photo is the small cage. Will they be good in that for 4 months till I bring them the much bigger cage?

Did anyone else try giving chillies to their conures? Apparently it's really good for them.

It boosts their immune system and they love shredding the outer layer and eating the spicy insides.

They don't feel the spice and it's actually a sweet treat for them. Even the super spicy ones. My guy is crazy about chillies and devours them like a tiny dino.

He has become happier too since I started a couple of chillies once a day. Sometimes to coax him to bedtime inside his home.

I’ve been giving my moon cheek chopped veggies and she seems to love them I see videos of people adding grains and cooking them I ordered some but I’m not sure if this is safe for birds or not also it’s a bit pricey so if there’s any recommendations I appreciate them
