I may be adopting a Conure in the near future. I have always loved them and have been researching them for years, and now we may be able to get one. All of my animals are adopted, so I'd love to adopt him too. I have checked petfinder, and so far I've only come across one that I'm interested in and want to expand my search before I choose. If you know of any in the NJ area, I would greatly appreciate it if you let me know. I am partial to Sun Conures, but I am willing to take in others.

Thanks for any help!

I'd be happy to keep an eye out for you.

Thank you! I'm not looking to get one right away, so I will have time to see what comes up.

I just found a sun conure on craigslist!

I emailed the owner to find out her personality and what the adoption fee is.

WOW that was fast

too cute and they just babies, suns are great birds just seriously loud compared to budgies

Well, he ended up wanting more than my parents are willing to pay. I put up an ad on craigslist last night and already got a reply about someone who's aunt is looking to rehome her jenday conure. He's getting back to me with more information. I can't bring him home for another month, so I have plenty of time to find the right bird.

conures are great.... good luck with the search (oh, and buy ear plugs )

Yes yes yes yes yes yes! I just got a reply to my ad! Someone's friend is giving away their 8 month old green cheek, was hand raised, but hasn't been handled very much lately. The best part.... only $150!!!!!!!!!

We called and I got some more information. He's not DNA sexed yet, so I havent picked out a name yet. He's only $175, in the perfect price range. The guy raises cockatiels and canaries and took the conure in from a girl who didnt want him when he was 4 months old. He is now 8 months old and he feels bad that he can't properly train him or give him the attention he needs since he has his other birds as well. He said he couldnt leave the door open because he scared his other birds. He said he hasn't worked on finger training that much, but he is not a mean bird. He has had no health problems since being in his care, and his previous owners took him to the vet before giving the bird to him. He will hold onto him for a month if I put down a deposit, so we're going to go take a look at him sometime soon, probably this sunday before deciding. I have a great feeling about this, I hope we can give him a forever home!
