Baby-Moki-eating_04_14-11-09Small.jpgBaby-Moki-asleep_01_14-11-09Small.jpgI'd like you to meet the newest member of our family Moki!  bear_wub He is a 10 week old Greencheek Conure and such a sweet little boy with lots of energy! bear_grin  We bought him home yesterday and it already feels like he's been part of the family for years. I also bought home a breeding pair of Green cheeks but have been unable to take any piccies are they are spending most of the time in their nest box, the breeder said they were working the nest box to lay another clutch of eggs, so hopefully we will have some little babies come along soon  bear_wub
I hope you like the piccies  bear_original

Oh what a sweetie!  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  And i'm highly amused about you bringing home a breeding pair  who have immediately disappeared into their nesting box - ain't  Nature wonderful?
I'm sure you are going to have lots of fun with your new babies!

As a parrot lover and owner of many years, let me say you have made such a wonderful choice.  Conures are very comical and sweet birds.  I see he is already enjoying family meals.  One of mine has been eating dinner with us ever night for more than 10 years. 

Are you going to handfeed your new babies?

Hi Joanne, We feel we have made a great choice as well, we also have 5 other parrots 4 Indian Ringnecks 3 of which were hand raised and are tame and one Alexandrine who was also handfed and is tame, They are all wonderful birds, but this little guy has a very different personality to the Asiatics, we are over the monn with him  bear_wub  bear_wub
If we have babies I will definatley be handraising them   bear_smile  bear_wub  Two of my ringnecks had chicks a few years ago and the mum didn't know what to do with them so I hand raised them from day old hatchlings, it was alot of hard work but I really enjoyed it bear_wub

Oh my gosh he is adorable!!!!  bear_wub   Good luck with your breeding pair too!  I had a cockatiel  that I got when he was 7 weeks old... and hand fed.  He was such a sweetheart!  When we got our whippets, they wanted to stalk him so I gave him to the daughter of my best friend.  He's still alive today at 19 years!! (and yes, he still remembers me!)

Hi, I love Teddies, Moki is pretty much his adult size, I would say he is similar in size to a Cockatiel with a shorter tail. I have all of my birds on a diet of fresh small parrot mix seed, parrot pellets and a selection of fresh fruits and veggies daily and sometimes they will get cooked rice, chickpeas and lentils.

He is a gorgeous bird!  bear_wub  bear_wub  I love parrots too... I've only had cockatiels and lovebirds, but my sister used to raise some bigger parrots.  I used to raise lovebirds, but it is a lot of work, so now we just have one pet lovebird.  They are wonderful pets!   bear_thumb

Hi Michelle, I'm very new to conures but from everything I have read says that they can talk but have gravely voices that can be difficult to understand. My Alexandrine named Gulliver is a fantastic talker and uses words that are appropriate to what is going on around him, he even puts his own emotions into the words, and he loves to laugh when something amuses him! bear_grin

The first pic is of Gulliver my Alexandrine, the Second pic are some of my Indian Ringencks and was taken a few years ago the Yellow is Lucy, the Blue Pepe, and the two greens are Lilly and Jake, sadly Lilly escaped a not long after this photo was taken and we never found her; the last pic is of George the Indian Ringneck, he is the only one that isn't tame.
