They are such fun birds! Do you clip wings or allow free flight? Good points to consider either way.
All my birds are full flighted. We have safety latches on the doors so the kids don’t accidentally let the birds outThey are such fun birds! Do you clip wings or allow free flight? Good points to consider either way.
I lost my first parakeet to an open door. I was 8, and completely devastated. Since then, light clipping for my birds.All my birds are full flighted. We have safety latches on the doors so the kids don’t accidentally let the birds out

Mine were clipped when I got them. I felt so bad for them trying to fly. Once they grew their flight feathers back out, I never clipped them. It definitely makes everyone be careful when the birds are out.I lost my first parakeet to an open door. I was 8, and completely devastated. Since then, light clipping for my birds.
What kind of Conures do you have? I have a green cheek, very sweet birdVery cute trio. My first bird was a parakeet my dad bought me. As an adult had 2 conures and a Quaker. My next bird will be 2 chickens.
I don't have them any more. It was years ago. Oh forgot I had a cockatiel too. All my birds have died or been rehomed.What kind of Conures do you have? I have a green cheek, very sweet bird
Sorry to hear that, My mom had sun conures, they were intensely loud lolI don't have them any more. It was years ago. Oh forgot I had a cockatiel too. All my birds have died or been rehomed.
I had the Nanday Conure. Loud, very loud. I rescued them and then traded them for the Quaker. My Quaker just died a couple years ago. He was 30+ years.
Yeah they are pretty smart, I like to watch them figure new foraging toys outMy wife has canaries and finches.
She used to keep parakeets.
I was always surprised by how truly intelligent some of the parakeets were. But I've never seen any of those "smarts" with other small species.
I bought her one of those Ebay giant walk in 8 foot hexagonal flight cages for her flock. I was hoping she'd get like a dozen parakeets.

Over the years. I've captured 4 parakeets here at my old job. Mostly they were injured by cats or predatory birds. All of them made a speedy recovery. Including an old female we named "lucky". A one eyed. One wing yellow parakeet with many missing toes. She came to me in a shoe box, covered with blood.I lost my first parakeet to an open door. I was 8, and completely devastated.

Kelly found that with all this new space and now 11 birds in the cage (aviary) The fighting she observed with her Canaries stopped.That's a beautiful aviary! I would only have 2 problems. One, no space for it, and 2, my 2 female birds fight to drawing blood. Other than that, I would love something like that!
Interesting thought. I suppose anything is possible.Kelly found that with all this new space and now 11 birds in the cage (aviary) The fighting she observed with her Canaries stopped.
Something akin to tortoises in groups?
