Here is Bubs, my red throated conure. I was contacted quite a few years back to adopt him because many know I am a conure lover. I couldn't refuse. LOL They told me that the husband worked at night and had to sleep during the day and Bubs was too noisy. I know he had a few homes prior to this one I adopted him from so I can't say what his past was but he is a very noisy bird. He can truly rival a nanday conure in a scream session. He is quite vocal too and screams quite often. The other thing I found out is that he HATES women. He will bite and attack me every chance he gets. He is also in love with my amazons and particularly my blue fronted so if I go near them...it encourages another attack session. I try not to clip him and have learned to avoid many of the attacks but sometimes during breeding season, a clip is necessary for my safety. He is not hand tame though just at the right time I can give him a head scritch. LOL
These birds are very rare in the wild and in captivity and I've considered getting a female to keep the species going but he is so bonded to my amazon that I am not sure how he would feel...plus the females are extremely hard to come by.
