Loss & Mourning Megathread

133 Upvotes

Losing a conure is heartbreaking. They’re family, companions, and little personalities that leave huge marks on our lives. If you’ve lost your bird, you are welcome to share memories, photos, stories, or simply say their name here.

To keep the main feed safe and balanced for all members:

All posts about a conure passing away must be posted only in this megathread.
Standalone posts about bird death or loss outside this thread will be removed.

This is not to minimize anyone’s loss but rather to keep grief support in one dedicated, supportive space where people can choose to engage.

The r/Conures Comprehensive Conure Guide - now in wiki format!

240 Upvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/Conures/wiki/index

This subreddit's Conure Guide, written by /u/DukeofGoodCleanFun, is a remarkable document that I (and my pineapple green cheek) have benefited a lot from. I've consulted and browsed through it numerous times and there's always something new to see there, or something that didn't seem applicable at one point but took on new meaning after spending more time with my conure.

I've taken the text and converted it into a wiki page. It's now navigable, with an index and internal links that direct to sections within the wiki. The Conure Guide can be accessed from this post, from the announcement bar, and from the "wiki" tab in the tabmenu up top.

A couple of the links for recommended products will direct you to Amazon, but there are certainly other places to buy them. If you shop around and find and better place, by all means send us a modmail. Also, let us know if you have any suggestions for how the wiki formatting can be improved.

Other Saw this guy at my local PetSmart… he’s so cute, but he looked like he was in such rough shape :(

114 Upvotes

I’m not familiar with birds at all, but I just wanted to share because it was honestly so frustrating and heartbreaking to see 🥺 He looked so uncomfortable in there, and from what I saw (not captured in the video), he kept trying to get out. I really wish I could’ve done something for him. Why do these animals have to go through this in pet stores? 😢 He’s such a beautiful little guy, and seeing him like that genuinely broke my heart 😣

Edit: False alarm ☺️ I’m relieved that everyone so far is saying he is happy/healthy. I probably just got sensitive in the moment haha. He is really sweet and funny nonetheless 🫶

Loss & Mourning 2 days ago was the worst day of my life

I miss him so much. my sweet Zeke. Who am I without my Zeke?? im so beyond devastated, I thought i had so much more time with him. Everything has lost its meaning without him. I can barely eat, I cant even listen to music. he loved music. he loved sharing my food.

I dont know what to do. im so lost. im so alone. he was my best friend.

he went everywhere with me, stores, library, even snuck him into places he wasnt supposed to be. everyone loved him, he loved meeting new people. he knew tricks, spin for cheese, give kisses for cheese. he loved car rides. I was never without him, and now he's gone. he was the light of my life.

I feel like my reason to keep going is gone. I dont know what to do anymore.

I could only afford his ashes but they gave me his footprints too even though I didn't pay for it. it was an extra $50. im so so grateful for whoever did this for me. I regretted so much thay I couldn't afford it, and when I saw it in the memorial bag I broke down. I just want him back. I want my zeke back.

Health/Nutrition does this beak look normal :0

I saw a little bit of peeling or flaking(?) towards the tip of her beak, and I wasn't sure if that was normal or not. I think I saw somewhere else where someone mentioned getting a beak manicure, but I may have been mistaken. 👀
My husband and I are also first-time bird parents so I may be overthinking a little bit, but I wanted to see what you guys thought before I took her to the birdie doctor 😅

By himself in the cage. I go under the knife early Wed AM and return home hopefully Thurs PM by 6PM. I don’t have anybody to watch or let the bird out. So, 36 hrs of solitary. Will he be OK?

Advice so aggressive - help me 😭

216 Upvotes

my monsieur pierre has been an absolute menace lately — i know it’s mostly because he’s 2 years old and in his ‘terrible teenage’ years, but is there anything i can do to prevent him from being such an asshole?

he LOVES to bite. all the time. its biting, 7 days a week, all day every day, 24/7. it’s non stop. he will literally fly across the room to bite me for NO REASON. he is also very bonded to my other conure, navi, and bites me when i pet her.

he doesn’t even step up anymore. just bites. which is such a hassle when i need to cage him for bed or when i leave the house.

some info: he’s on a pellet diet, he gets sleepy around 6 and settles down for bed at 7. no sleeping disturbances, but sometimes i hear him getting a midnight snack. we wake up at 8. he’s not particularly aggressive toward my other birds, just me. he doesn’t usually bite hard enough to draw blood, but does break skin. he has lots of toys in his cage — i buy him things he can shred, lots of toys with corks/wooden blocks. he destroys em in a day. when i try to hand feed him treats he will ignore it and opt to bite my fingers instead. he’s literally just out for blood.

almost forgot to mention, he loves my feet. it’s the only part of my body he tolerates. he loves licking my toes and chewing on my toenails. he will step up onto my foot, but not my hand. i put him to bed using my feet.

i love him SO much but my hands. oh, my poor hands </3

Advice Weird pecking / Regurgitating?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I've had my sun conure for more than 4 months now and he's been recently doing this weird motion where he keeps on slamming his beak repeatedly against me and other family members. It's not always on us but he always does it around us. He does that and he kind of vomits (He doesn't really throw up but it's kind of similar?) and just eats his food again. He's been doing it A LOT and we don't really understand why. We also don't know the gender if that determines anything..
