Elaine and Mango the Jenday Conure<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Mitch & Catherine<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I just recently got a Jenday Conure in late October and I named him Mango. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He has his royal blue feathers on his wings and tail but is not too socialized with people. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The breeder advised that he came to her, but the circumstances were unclear. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stealing a little thunder from Catherine I want to jump in here briefly.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the world of living organisms, we talk about humans is a single species.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dog is a single species (Google it)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conversely is close to 11,000 species of birds and we talk about birds in terms of species, not breeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With regards to “scream for no reason”, yep that’s a Conure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How many conure species are there – click here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They are noisy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the record, every Conure is a parakeet but not every parakeet is a conure.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back to Elaine and Mango<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He is so sweet and will step up on my hand and allow some social interaction but seems to like to hang out in his cage.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve tried to research this breed of conures but was wondering if this was common behavior for this breed. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He is not really a talker but will sometimes scream for no reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve read that this breed of conure is noisy but I’m just trying to make him feel safe and secure.\u00a0 Any suggestions?<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Elaine<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is Mango’s cage in the main area of the home, in a social spot but placed against a wall? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Does the door stay open when you are around and thus allows Mango to come out and visit? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If yes, then you are doing good.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you have any regular play time together?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If not, start assigning a little time daily to interact with Mango. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He will start to look forward to it and you.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We recently took in a rescue 15-year-old African Ringneck we renamed Keto. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keto is hand phobic and has a past wing injury so we can’t touch him yet, but he is thrilled to have his bell toys jingled for him.<\/span><\/p>\n
