Hey guys I thought Id do the Sun Conure version to this video and explain some of the odd behaviours of sun conures that are quite specific to them. I may have missed some and if I did let me know. Make sure to first check out my other video on general parrot body language as I only cover specific behaviours to sun conures.

My sun conure dances for me to show off. It's not aggressive woth my little guy. Or he dances with music he likes and tries to stay with the beat.
Can you also please make a video how to differentiate a male sun conure from a female? I have a 4 year old sun conure which i think is a male but im only 90% sure.
My brother has a sun conure he lives with me has newspaper down and she keeps tearing it up is this ok
Thank you for the info baby Conure new Mom here đŠđ„°
Can you do one about suncheek conure
Is the bird shown a sun conure because mine looks different
Thank you for this information. We have inherited a sun conure. Not sure about age or sex, habits or what the other owner handled this bird. I need all the help I can get.
My mangos do something totally wired he just vibrated his beak only when he snick to my inside of my shirt, not the regretation. I know the difference, like machine gun đđđ wich is realy cute and funny. I think it's a happy sign
Yeah my Sunconure rubs his butt on my controller joy sticks when it hormonal seasonđ
Everything in this video is so accurate lol
Thank you for this!!! â€â€
I actually picked up a high yellow sun conure baby less than a week ago and this has helped me understand her a bunch! Her body language is very different from my indian ringneck and cockatiels.
Bad editing
I barely realized that my sun conure Skittles is a girl from what you mentioned about the hormonal section of the video âșïž
When I open the cage door, and slowly put two fingers inside (I donât try to touch the bird, since she is new) she comes up to my fingers, and sometimes she bites softly and licks my fingers, and other times, sheâll bite softly then gradually increase pressure. Does this mean she doesnât like me, or is she trying to examine me?
My Sun Conure, Mr. Morocco, liked listening to your bird while sitting on my shoulder. He is a sweetie and I hope he stays that way.
Awesome video. Excellent summary of Sun Conure behaviour and body language. The happy thing with the wings is usually called âwing flippingâ btw. Worth noting too that Sun Conures (like cockatoos and cockatiels) use âpowder downâ feathers (feather shafts filled with powder) to condition their plumage (instead of just relying on preen oil from the uropygial gland), which can make them less than ideal for people with allergies.
Sun Conures are famous for being extremely affectionate and snuggly and every owner usually has at least one photo of their Sunnie peeking out from the neck of their hoodie – apparently because in the wild they prefer to roost inside tree hollows instead of on branches (most parrots only use hollows for laying eggs etc but Sunnies sleep in them all year round. Unfortunately this makes them easy to catch which is why theyâre under threat in the wild. every Sunnie Iâve known loves snuggling with their human, and juveniles love being under their shirt, pressed against the skin.
I have COPD (a lung disease) and for years had to sleep on my back with a harness and a board to stop me rolling over – my first Sunnie used to sleep on my chest (do not try this under any circumstances unless youâre physically unable to move in your sleep because itâs not safe for the bird). My one year old, Felix, is just as snuggly but thankfully he now sleeps with his partner at night, but during the day he will come and bury himself under my shirt when Iâm meditating, making little happy noises (beak grinding) and pressing his body against mine. It feels like an expression of unconditional love and trust.
Being so affectionate and bonded to their humans they can get bad separation anxiety. My little guy screams whenever I go out and then waits in the kitchen window until I get home. His exuberance and joy at my return always makes it a pleasure to come home.
