1. What kind of bird do you have?
I have a sun conure.
2. Your bird's gender, age and name.
Soni is an approx. 15 year old male.
3. What is the bird's diet? Any surprising foods?
He eats pellets supplemented by fruit and veggies as we have it in the house. His favorite snacks are raw noodles and shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Is birdie tame? Was birdie a hand-fed baby?
He sent as tame as he used to be, but I hand fed him myself from about 4 weeks, I think. He was still covered in pin feathers.
5. If there are other pets in the house, what are they and how does your bird get along with them? Who's boss?
He bosses the cat around. The cat is scared to death of he bird, even though they've never been out in the same room at the same time.
6. Whats the best and the worst thing about your bird?
He hates men, especially hubby
7. Tell us about notable qualities or stories about your bird.
If he sneaks out of his cage, his favorite trick is to open and climb into his food container.
8. How much time is spent in the cage vs. out of the cage daily?
Sadly, he's mostly in, because of how poorly he and hubby get along.
9. Do you have playgrounds or perches around the house for birdie? Pics please.
Playground on the top of his cage.
10. Are the wing's clipped? If so has your bird ever flown.
Nope. They were from such a young age, he never learned, and once I saw how bad he was even with his flight feathers, I quit.
11. Does birdie have a favorite human in your home?
He loves me the most, and enjoys when my mom visits him.
12. Is birdie friendly with strangers?
Meh, not so much. He doesn't like men, and children freak him out.
13. Does your bird ignore or love toys?
He loves them! He has one in particular that he loves, a small length of chain with oblong wooden blocks on it,with a bell on the bottom. He leans way off one perch o grab the chain, drags it to another perch, and then grabs he top of the bel and just jingles it like a mad man. I think it's hilarious!
14. How often does birdie get a bath?
As needed, since he fits nicely into his dish.
15. Does your bird breed?
Nope.
16. Is your bird being noisy a problem?
Nt often. He likes to squawk when I first walk in the door, and when I'm on the phone. I just walk away from him, or hide in the bathroom. he's usually too busy giving hubby the stink eye to yell at him.
