How old am I? We are about one year old.

My noise level? We can be chatty and expressive, especially when we want attention or are excited to see our people.

My most annoying vocalisation? Like most sun conures, we can get loud when excited or calling for our favourite people.

My cutest vocalisation? Sweet chirps, gentle whistles, happy muttering, and soft little chatter.

Can I step up? Yes! We both know how to step up and enjoy interacting with people.

When to seek immediate veterinary care


Emergency signs in pet birds can progress from “concerning” to life-threatening very quickly. Birds often hide illness until they’re critically ill, so visible severe symptoms usually mean the situation is urgent.

A bird should be seen urgently if it has:

* open-mouth breathing/rapid breathing with tail bobbing
* severe lethargy (may include drooped wings)
* inability to perch and/or severe weakness
* active bleeding/major trauma
* seizures
* toxin exposure (eg ingested cleaning agents left lying around the home).
* stopped eating

For birds, waiting “until tomorrow” can sometimes make the difference between recovery and death.
It is also vital that you know which is your nearest avian vet (or vet with parrot expertise for those in cities without exotic vets).
Do not hesitate when it comes to medical care.
You can’t ever buy time, but you can ensure that you can afford a vet and/or have pet insurance and/or have funds saved for an emergency.

Please note that we are not intending anything in this post to be medical advice or anything other than educating on warning signs so that you know when to go to the vet.

Vet care is health care!

Adopted! BooBoo found his forever home!


A message from his adopter:

Goeie môre Adele.
Booboo het onmiddelik deel van ons huis geword en word ook lekker bederf.Sy het ons ook beide aanvaar en ons twee word beide toegelaat om haar te cuddle.Ons hou haar ook streng op haar dieet met gekookte vars groete ,hoender mince en haar pallets.Sy word ook met vars pere appels aarbeie koei vrug ens bederf.Wanneer sy natuurlike sien ons eet wil sy natuurlik saam eet en raas dan verskriklik tot ons haar met n neut of ietsie bederf om stil te bly.Sy raak ook soms moeilik waneer sy onder die koerante ingaan en dit in stukkend skeur maar ons laat haar maar begewe en ons glo sy sal met tyd ook dit afleer.Ek ek Lizinda sit nou ook daagliks langs haar hok terwyl ons n 1000 stuk puzzle sit en pak.Dan mompel sy graag binne mond maar saans wanneer sy toe gemaak is vir die koue aande praat sy woorde soos hallo ens.
Sy doen baie goed by ons en nou deel van ons familie.

Thank you for adopting him!
