CathyJr Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 We are figuring out that they are just babies. We rescued them from a FaceBook ad, $200 for the two of them. He bought them for $200 each, wanting to raise babies and he learned they were babies so he gave them up. It took them two weeks to get PEOPLE FRIENDLY, and now they are so lovable!
CLB Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Welcome little ones! I don't really know anything about these birds. I look forward to following your journey and learning along the way.
Jayd Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Lucky you, great little birds. The parent's of these little guys kick them out of the nest as soon as the father says it's time to go, so like other parrots they don't have to be "Hand Fed, their ready to accept a new flock as soon as their forced to leave home. If they are male and female, come breeding time you'll have to separate them as soon as you realize it. 2 cages etc. especially if their siblings..... They like small pieces of walnuts, mostly seeds and a few fruit pellets, no sunflower seeds, and they love "FRESH" Veggies...carrots"..They really like a wide cage as opposed to a high cage, rope perches, vines, tree limbs etc......Good luck http://www.avianweb.com/duskyheadedconures.html Edited October 1, 2012 by Jayd

Greywings Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 They have the cutest little Helium sounding voices when they learn to repeat some of our words. I love these little guys.

CathyJr Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 I love to watch them eat, They take their food to the water bowl and dunk it so it will be soft before they eat , And they go crazy for millit sprays i give them one 3 times a week
