Housing

Conures need a cage that is large enough for them to move around and spread their wings. The cage should also have plenty of perches, toys, and a nest box.

Nest box: Conures need a nest box to sleep in and lay their eggs. The nest box should be made of a soft material, such as fleece or wood.

The cage should be placed in a quiet, draft-free area of the home. It should also be out of reach of other pets, such as cats and dogs.

Health

Conures are generally healthy birds, but they can be susceptible to certain health problems, such as respiratory infections, feather plucking, and obesity.

Respiratory infections: Respiratory infections are one of the most common health problems in conures. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
