| They love cooked pasta!!! Lots of fun, she's a nice looking bird. We have Parrotts, but not a Sun, we did look at a few, but they don't talk, so we went with the African Greys They talk up a storm!!!! A little to much!!! LOL

We have had several birds over the years we do not own one at this time though. We have had cockatiels's, parkeetes(sp), severe macaw, and a nanday conure. The conure that we had was very noisy and loved water. We left his cage door open quite a bit and whenever he heard water running he would climb down into the floor and waddle through the house to find the source of the water. We took several showers with him. All of mine love many kinds of fruit, nuts, popcorn and pasta. Good luck with your new family member. Make sure he has lots of toys in his cage to keep him occupied, just like puppies they need toys to play with to keep from getting bored. By the way a gorgeous bird. Is it a male or female? Do you have a name yet?

I never really knew either. I was just told when we had our birds what sex they were. I guess you will know if she/he ever lay's eggs. Good Luck.

| We were told that the only way to tell a bird's sex is by a blood test. Some female birds don't produce eggs.

| Sex of a sun conure is determined via DNA test. I had one at one time...couldn't handle the squawking! Sheesh! I called it a she but she was soooo very demanding on time it was not funny. If I walked in the room and didn't pay her the attention she wanted when she wanted it, she'd make SURE of it. That's why I called her a SHE! (She-devil....B*&#@). I ordinarily wouldn't mind but she wouldn't stop until you'd come over and pay her attention and she wouldn't let you leave her until she was finished with you. Pretty demanding little bird....Beautiful, just demanding. Good luck!

| Pretty. Congrats. My advice? My bird got eaten by my Lab a few years ago, so I have none.

| hi I'm new to the forum. I dont' have a yorie now. we are thinking about getting one. Has anyone had any problems with thier yorkie and birds? The reason I joined was to find out how they did with birds.I have 2 parrots now and african grey and a 3 week old greenwing macaw. We had a quaker but my sons dog ate it while we were away last fall. We were told as long as the puppy was young and around the birds from the time they were very small they would be ok..... he wasn't. he even managed to get the quaker out of his cage. We were all heartbroken and dont' want to take a chance without hearing from some owners first. Has anyone had any problems with thier yorkie and birds? |
