Im getting a greencheek conure in 2 weeks Just wondering what you all put in the bottoms of your cages. I hear some use newspaper and others say sand paper.Also do any of you own a conure if so any tips on how you care for them

newspaper for me or old magazines always have used these all with my birds.

Thanks will use newspaper then

we use newspaper too

We always use newspaper for our birds, although we did use lining paper years back in a cockatoo's cage as he was always getting dirty feathers from the newspaper print.

i use sand paper so can pick sand&grit off..
i also sprinkle grit on sand paper so more fun for them&also helps there digestive sytoms&sharpins claws.thats why i use sand paper&also sprinkle grit all over the sand paper..
i used to have conure..what do u need to no as u asking for advice??

Got my conure on sunday and she is so sweetOnly thing is she likes to biteI let her out of cage today and she landed on my arm then bit my thumb Has any of you had this. Wots the best thing to do if thay bite Alison

as hard as it sounds ya have to let him do it, and when he does push your hand towards him which usually makes them let go. they are like children its all for reaction so if ya say ouch! n jump up n down cos he hurt ya he got what he wanted! they are clever buggers

Ok will give it a goWill try putting pics in pic section soon Thanks Alison

I have a sun conure and he gets nippy sometimes too. On the other hand my 3 yr old and him have quite the love affair and he has NEVER bit him. It is like he knows. Like was said if you pull back and go ouch. They have the upper hand. You need to have no reaction, just a simple. No bite or something.
