I’m literally so happy about these YouTubers that do videos about birds thank you!
-
thank you so much for making this. i just adopted 2 rescue conures and didn't realize how much work they will be. I'm determined to make them a part of the family though as they've already been through 3 prior homes that i'm aware of. This was very well done and incredibly informative so thank you!
-
Thank you for sharing your expertise! My boyfriend and I watch your vids together and we enjoy getting informed with all their training tips. I just got my first pineapple conure! She is heaven sent! So playful, super cuddly, curious and noisy during the mornings / whenever people go in and out of the house!
-
Thank you Sophie, you are helping me a lot! You truly are a gentle soul. I wish you the best, God bless you.
-
Why are a lot of people watching this AFTER they get a conure? Do your research beforehand!
-
Thanks for your video. I have a pineapple green cheek Conure. He is 1 year old, full of fun and mischief too. I wanted to tell people just because these birds are not known for their ability to talk doesn’t mean they can’t. My bird already says at least a dozen phrases. He says Treat! Treat! And he knows very well that means!
-
I am saving up for one and I just want to say thank you for your help on what to start with and how to take care of one!
-
I admire your passion. It's very refreshing to see. You clearly love your birds. I have seen individuals on here who do nothing but complain and appear to hate their pets, and I find that quite infuriating.
-
If a conure is biting don't hate him/her, find the reasons why, ask questions like, is he sleeping 12 hours? Am I giving proper attention like playing? Does he have enough toys to chew on? Is he having the proper diet? My bird used to bite but I started feeding seeds like treats from my hand to bond with him, he liked the attention because I was neglecting him, now he has improved the behaviour be patient with the birds, they don't know better until we teach them. From a happy owner of 3 colorful pineapples.

We are adding a green cheek and a pineapple conure pair to our home (names are harley and joker.) Personally as a very hands on parrot owner my cockatiel is probably the hardest of my birds to train cause she is very uninterested in training and I'm so excited to build and branch my experience to a new species. I watched your video on tiels and now I'm excited that I can watch another :)
-
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 it's nice to know they're so well taken care of 🥰🥰🥰
-
I’m getting a conure very soon I’m watching video after video, I have a good cage coming, I’m very excited
-
Thank you so much for teaching me to take care of my conure!😁
-
Thank you so much Sophie for this informative video. I have an almost 8yr old GCC with maroon tail & maroon belly who I have had for 7 yrs and I have learned so much from yours & David's videos. 😊
-
I was recently given a pineapple conure and this video really helped!
-
I just fell in love with a Blue-crowned conure at the store today, I’ve never had a connection with a bird like that and I’d to get him. I’m doing as much research as possible and this video reassured me that he would definitely be a good fit for me :) thanks for helping me get my future friend!
-
Awww the tees are super cute great video
-
i agree, i have two suns (females) that are caged together that are extremely loud. My cheeks are not near as loud as my suns. If the window is open next to their cage i can hear their calls over my riding lawn tractor......lol
-
Hi from a current non bird owner who is looking to get into it i'm glad your channel popped up in my you might like list. Your so passionate with what you do and the hints and tips/ how to guides are brilliant. It is lovely to see yourself and David enjoying what you do so much. hope i got his name right. i was thinking of getting a lovebird but after seeing yourself and another lady in i believe Germany with these i have started to research the green cheek conures for myself. keep up the great work
-
Hi! I really appreciate the advice you provided in this video as im going to buy a conure myself. I would also like if you could do some type of a´cagetour´ video, where you´d show how big are the cages for your birds, how you organise and clean them, which toys your parrots like to play with in them and so on. that would definitely help me a lot. Thanks again for your amazing videos and keep up with the great work! :)
