How Do You Care For A Sun Conure?
The sun conure is known for its vivid coloring of yellows, green, blue and orange. They make beautiful pets and can live up to 30 years if cared for properly. They crave your attention and can be very vocal birds. Purchase a bird cage that is at least 20 by 20 by 30 inches and the bars should be one half to three quarters of an inch apart. Buy a cage with horizontal bars which allows the conure to climb the sides of the cage. Place three bowls in the cage. One bowl should be for water, one for seed and one for treats like fresh vegetables and fruits. Cover the bottom of the cage with an easily cleaned and affordable substrate like newspaper or corn cob. Change out the substrate, water and food daily. Clean the entire cage as well as any toys and perches once a week. Clean them with a diluted bleach mix. Situate the cage in an area of your home away from temperature fluctuations caused by drafts and direct sunlight. Feed your conure a regular diet of fortified seed or commercial pellet.
