Buying a Conure

[Monica]

My cherry head, Noel, eats a cockatiel seed mix (no sunflowers), with fresh foods.

Charlie, the mitred, eats Zupreem pellets, a bit of handfeeding formula (he's an adult with beak injury), and fresh foods!

Although both will eat just about anything, Charlie's the one who is more likely to be upfront and take it as he pleases from where-ever, where-as Noel would rather 'eat alone', so to speak...

My GCC eats various pellets as well as fresh fruits/veggies.

He isn't very loud, but loves to be with me. As a matter of fact, he's preening my hair as I type this. He just had a good head scratch and is now returning the favor lol.

Over all, they are great birds. How old is your maroon belly? If they are anything like the GCC, then he will go through a nippy stage at right around 1 year old. But they will get over it sooner or later.

I hope you enjoy your new FID. Post some pictures when you can!
