The time spent alone with my GCC (Clyde) developed his confidence so when Bertie (SC) joined him, he assumed the role of an older sibling. They sleep together now, Clyde on the perch and suspended inside the arm of a fleece jacket which I made. One morning Clyde was in the fleece tunnel keeping Bertie company. We’ve bonded as a family and Clyde keeps Bertie’s separation anxiety to a minimum when I go out.
Something that helped Clyde when he first came home alone and scared was playing clips of GCC on Utube for him. Within six days of coming home, his curiosity overcame his fear and he climbed onto my fingers (while I pretended to ignore him) and watched the videos while softly chirping. He stepped up reliably by week 3. Bertie mimicked Clyde’s actions and was soon tame. Clyde loves watermelon and Bertie favors any kind of grape. They’ll eat most of the seeds in Volkman Hookbill but mostly safflower shells little the bottom tray. SC loves whole peanuts and eats part of the shell. SC wants to sample every I’m eating while GCC sticks to the basics. Bertie goes nuts for fruit yogurt, any kind of cooked potato, pasta and rice. He’ll even nibble on a little chicken.

I recently received another sun conure 5-6 years old from a friend who received it from a friend of his. I have each conure in their own cage with plenty of room in each.
My question is … The new conure is vehemently biting a long stringed toy. Then he stops. Then he begins banging his beak against the cage. Is this because he is bored?
I tried placing my finger against the outside of the cage and he tried to nip or bite me. Sould I just leave him alone for a while then try to introduce some toys outside of the cage?
