1 day after we got Charlie
Blue Crowned Conure

I got him about a week ago so I don't know a lot to say. I kind need a little help if anyone has any good advice for a 1st time owner of a Blue Crown Conure.

I bought him from a couple that could not care for him anymore. He is about 1 year old. He is pretty friendly unless he doesn't know you. It took him a couple days to warm up to me.

The only problem I have now is that he chews on my fingers when I am holding him and some time it can hurt. I tell him "no" and he will let go but then he will try again, any advice?

He also will bite at anyone that tries to hold him and some times he does it to me but I just keep my finger there until he steps up as I am saying "up up Charlie."

He is can talk a little. He says his name and hello. I know it will take time for him to get really used to us I just wish he would go to others. My daughter really wants to hold him and stuff but he bites at her when she puts her finger up to him.

Living with Charlie is kind of crazy some times. When he wants someone to talk to him he will be loud or say over and over "Hello Charlie" lol.

He loves to sleep in this fuzzy thing he came with. He will get in there about 7 and sleep all night 'till I get up in the morning about 6. The lady I got him from says he likes his bath but he has not taken one for me yet. I put fresh water in every morning to see if he will take a bath but he won't.

We love Charlie a lot. Hope to hear from someone. Any good advice would be great.

Thanks,
