Conure Golden Capped behavior

Golden-capped Conures are lovely little birds with big personalities! These charming little pets will easily win even a skeptic's heart!

In the wild, Golden-capped Conures live in forests, which are rapidly disappearing. They live in large flocks, and greet returning flock-mates by shrieking at incredible decibel levels! In captivity, Conures will shriek but may be trained not to. When you come home, the Golden-capped Conure is bound to shriek, and he will shriek if he is scared. In these cases, cuddling and comforting is ok. Otherwise, ignore your Conure's shrieking or he will do it to get attention! Conures also go through several phases when they nip. Simply replace the finger he is chewing on with a chew toy, and if he rejects the toy, return him to his cage. Golden-capped Conures are very smart and will learn quickly to behave. They can also be taught to talk and can learn entertaining tricks! In your Golden-capped Conure's cage, give him a nesting box where he can hide and sleep. A clean cage is extremely important to avoid infection. Conures should have fresh water at all times and should be bathed occasionally; a plant mister will work fine for this.Golden-capped Conures can fly easily, and should not be outside without a harness. They love cuddling with their owners best of all, and need plenty of love and attention. The Golden-capped Conure's lifespan is about 30 years.
