hello from northern ireland

[lola31]

hello i'm from county down in northern ireland and am considering purchasing a hand reared conure if my finances will allow. i went into the pet store to buy some fish food and fell in love i visit 3 days out of 7 and each time i go the wee man seems to be getting more used to me and i just hope i can take him home soon.

Hello. Welcome to Bird Board.

What type of conure are you looking at? I have a Sun and a budgie...I hope you can get him. They are wonderful birds.

Welcome, yeah do you know what type of conure? They are great birds conures! I have a green cheek and she is just the sweetest!

[lola31]

thanks for the welcome, as embarassed as i am to admit it i'm not really sure what type he is as i always mean to ask but the staff are always busy and then one of my kids starts playing up or i have to run for the bus because time gets away from me when i'm cooing at the little birdy that i've christened Ike even though he's not mine to name.
i hope i can get him

[Courtzrocks]

That's ok, do you know what colour he is and maybe we can help?

hi and welcome to the forum

I'm gonna call it as being a GCC. They're pretty much standard in petshops that sell parrots over here in the UK.

Let us know soon pleeeeeeeease

i've been in today and he's still there, the shop staff said he is a cinnamon green cheeked conure.

I had a cinnamon, so I'm bias when I say I reckon they are the prettiest. You can expect to pay a little more for him then... I've seen mutations upto around £300.

I hope you manage to get him.
