Wow! A gruesome twosome! You are in for a good time! I have the same combo and they are just funny! There is nothing typical about a Nanday! My Gherkin argues with me, purrs when she snuggles, looks hilareous when she regurgitates, sways back and forth when she is eating, talks with her mouth full, tries to lay on her back in the bath, lays on her back and lets me tickle her belly, pretty much a winged breed of dog. Sunshine (S.C.) picks up on that behavior and open body language. You will see any bird that is in within viewing range of a Nanday pick up on their body language! Nanday personalities are contagious to other birds! I have a baby African Grey that can already do Gherkin's "nag" to a tee. Nothing to worry about, unless your birds' eating habits change or seem lethargic.

New birds by: Lori
I have a sun conure thats 3 years old. I've had him since he was 4 months. I have never seen him reast on his chest on a perch but he always sleeps in a cozy hut(tent). So then he sleeps on his chest or sometimes on his back. Its always a good idea to take a new bird to the vet to get checked out. I've never heard that conures are fragile. Mines never been sick at all. He eats Harrisons pellets and organic dried fruit and birdie bread and sometimes cooked bird food.
