Welcome to the Best Free Peachfronted Conure Information on the Planet

I've lived with Peachfront Conures Aratinga aurea for 30 years. I've bred 'em, trained 'em, even visited Bolivia to observe them in the wild. For more about me, click right here.

know your bird's best diet

From my September 1994 BIRD TALK article:

I want to emphasize that no one seed or seed mix can be a complete diet for any finch or parrot. For instance, my Conures' diet, especially when breeding, begins with a bean mix and an assortment of fresh vegetables that I cook myself. I also offer a variety of fresh fruits and greens in season. My Cockatiels and Budgies eat a much less elaborate diet, with a higher proportion of seed…

Did you catch that? You may be very experienced with feeding and breeding Cockatiels and/or Budgies. However, your Peachfront Conures will need a different, more complex, less seed-reliant diet. Your experiences with the easier-to-keep birds still have value, but you must be open to creating a more elaborate diet for your Conures. Too many vegetables in front of a Cockatiel is a waste of good vegetables. The Cockatiel just won't eat 'em. But your Conures will crave classic healthy foods like veggies, fruits, well-cooked beans and grains. Add a Conure to the household, and you have added a good influence on your own diet.
