Need to rehome Conure

[sweetpeaches]

It sounds like "patience" is the answer as everyone has shared. Four days is really not a very long time, altho, I'm sure the screaming is very challenging to deal with. Conures are pretty well known for their "vocality"..altho constantly wouldn't be the norm. I'm sure he is just scared and needs time to adapt. My caique at times will start a "screaming rant" when we don't take him out of his cage, when he wants out".
So we'll cover him up until he stops screaming, which is usually only for a short time.
I try never to take him out when he's screaming as I feel this is "rewarding" this unwanted behavior. He definetly is getting better now.

It really is all about time and patience, i have had my sun conour for only a couple of months and he is my first bird i have ever owned so its all very new to me, i also did alot of research on the sun before i got him but was still very suprised by how much noise he made and also thought that being hand raised thought he would be more friendly with me. A couple of months later i cant even tell you how much he has changed towards me, everyone kept telling me it just takes time and patience and i honestly didnt really think we would ever really bond, but although i think we still have along way to go we have really started to trust each other, i just spent as much time with him as i could, even if it was just sitting next to the cage and reading to him or playing online, it didnt really matter just as long as i was there right near him. then it got to the stage where i could leave the cage door open and he would come out and walk all over me but still not allow me to touch him, now i can pick him up, although he dosent really like it, and i take him into the bath with me and into bed to have a nap with me, he still isnt to keen on me patting him but slowly we are getting there. Honestly you just need to give it time and be very persistant with her, she needs you, think of her as a child that you have just adopted, she is scared and feels alone and confused, please dont give up on her, 4 days is not nearly enough time for her to settle in, good luck and let us know how you go.

Some birds are screamers, especially if they're used to one thing, and aren't getting it. One of our sun's "Sunae" (her name originally was Sunshine, but it made me cringe lol), is a 6 year old SPOILED little bit... well, you understand. She absolutely hated coming here, hated all of us, hated her cage, the house, the very air she was breathing... all because it wasn't exactly what she was used to.

It took a good 3 weeks for her to settle in, realise she's not the unique little snowflake that she thought she was, and had to adjust to our methods, not hers. Once she figured out her tantrums and attacks didn't get her anything but a time out with a cover on her for 15 mins in a cage WITHOUT toys and food (leave the water in), she started to make friendly overtures.

Now we have less tantrums, far less biting attacks and she actively seeks out people for talking and treats. Whenever we went near her cage, if she greeted us politely, she got a goodie, if she puffed up, bobbed and shrieked, she was told "Not a good girl!" and ignored. Didn't take her long, believe me.

So, yes... 4 days is NOTHING. It's difficult when you want her to be your friend and all she's doing is showing you her beak and lung capacity lol, but it will work out, just grit your teeth and work through it. Do not cave, be firm but loving, but be FIRM. Stick to consistency, reward good behaviour, ignore or discipline (read above) the bad.

Conures are very social birds and there are VERY few that won't give in and seek out companionship with people. A few of my GCC's are long-term breeders that were terrified of people at the start and are now just little attention mooches. One 8 year old male has never been touched, he's parent raised, used as a breeder for his entire life, and in 2 weeks, he's gone from a screaming, terrified, biting crazybird into a gentleman. He willingly sits on a finger for a treat now, though touching him as yet is out of the question. Point is, time and patience and consistency will win out in the end. Stick it out, you won't regret it.

Although everyone has already told you that it takes more time...I felt I needed to add, Please don't give up..I'm sure that with some patience the bird will make itself at home and settle down. Hope everything goes well, Keep us updated.
