Answer 1

Looks like a conure,but even if he isn't u need to knowt hat chocolate,coffee,avocado,soda are toxic to parrots.

You need to feed it fresh fruits and veggies.They particularly like apples,oranges,strawberries,brocolli,cuc...

Also feed it some rice ,pastaand give it a chicken bone covered with little meat once in a while.They need sunflower seeds but be careful with nuta as have a lot of fat,also don't over feed it cakes,cookies an bread.should be given but only in moderation.

Your pet will need some toys to entertain it so try giving it some plastic toys to chew on from pet stores or try plastic toys that u r not using around the house.

He needs to be sprayed with a plant spraye to keep him clean but don't put him out in a draft to dry.

Hope that helped:)

Answer 2

Its got to be a conure, or some kind of relative. It has a white ring around its eye which a lot of conures do. Its also the perfect size for one.

Answer 3

oh wow, pretty bird.

I don't think its a conure.  To be honest I'm not sure what kind of bird it is.  

Find an avian vet in your area and they'll tell you. The vet will also be able to give you advice on diet and how to properly care for that particular species.  S/he will also give the bird a checkup and make sure its in good health.  Vet checkups aren't cheap, but owning a parrot isn't cheap!

Answer 4

i assure u it is a conure

Answer 5

Looks like a conure. Just not sure which one.

Answer 6

Just feed him a pelleted diet and he will be getting all the nutrition he needs and you will not have to worry about giving him vitamin supplements.  A seeded diet can actually do some birds harm, and is not all that nutritional.  Feed him the regular pellets, not the fruited.  Many birds that get the fruited just pick out certain colors to eat and waste the rest.  They both have the same nutritional value.  We have done extensive research on pellets vs seeds.  Please read my profile.  (you would want the pellets for small hookbills)  Your bird looks like one that we treated one time, it was a cross of quaker and conure
