The Cheeto Incident...

We spend a lot of time with Delgado. He is out of the cage most of the day. My son was eating cheetos, and decided to let Delgado take a nibble and taste it. Delgado took a quick nibble, and then waited. When my son presented the cheeto to him again, Delgado snatched the cheeto right out of Grayson's hand, and proceeded to chow down! Well, as those of you with birds know, birds are very messy eaters!

Since Delgado was on my shoulder, my shirt and the surrounding are was covered in cheeto shavings, so I went to brush some of the crumbs off my shoulder. I sure got yelled at! Delgado screamed at me for touching his crumbs!

Well, that's life with a conure! They have real personality, and can even get cheeky... :)

*Delgado only got about 1/4 of a cheeto...we do not normally give him junk!

The Conure Chronicles: Welcome


Welcome to the Conure Chronicles! I am the proud mama to a 2 year old Sun Conure named Delgado. I adopted him several months ago from a lady who hand raised him, and had to rehome him due to changes in living arrangements.

I'm setting up this blog to share with you what day to day life is like living with a Sun Conure. I hope you get as much joy out of reading as I get from blogging!
