-> I think I told ya awhile ago that I have a sun conure. Everything
-> you've said in description of your green cheek applies to my sun as
-> well. The nips are basically their way of touching and making contact
-> with us. As long as they aren't done with anger and believe me you'll
-> know if one is done in anger. Those little beaks have some power
-> behind them.  Trust me I know. I have the metal grate on the
-> bottom of the cage removed so that Sunny can run around under the
-> paper and make a tent in one side of his cage. Funniest thing to
-> watch. He also laughs his butt off while he's doing this. I guess he
-> just heard all of us.
I think that the Sun Conure is really pretty and cute, but the reason I 
didn't choose that kind is because they are SO loud and I live in a 
condo where the neighbor pounds on the walls nightly especially when I 
play any of the music of "The Doors" (and I don't have it up loud, 
either). So I kinda' figured that Sun Conures and Amazons were out of 
the question. My little Green-Cheeked Conure likes to laugh while he is 
doing comical things too. I never get tired of watching him. He is a 
little acrobat-clown. His nips aren't in anger, and he IS getting some 
better. I've noticed that if it is at the end of the day and he is 
tired he is often a bit more nippy. He does like to cuddle, usually in 
the crook of my neck, or bent arm, or under my hair; and at these times 
he *usually* doesn't nip *much* .  Also, I think he is trying to say 
'hello'. It is in exactly the same way my Grey sais it, only not as 
clear yet. Loki, (the Conure), is not at all intimidated by Gideon, (the 
Grey); even though Gideon is at least 3 times the size of Loki. 
I am not at all sorry that I got a Conure, (instead of the Mollucan, 
that I originally had wanted--I guess I'll have to wait until I get a 
big place in the country for that). I had no idea just how personable 
and endearing that Conures are.
What is your Conure's name and how old is he?
Peace,
Elaine
