Miko & Kako

Jenday Conures



This is what we know about them:

Miko and Kako are 12 year old male Jenday Conures that are strongly bonded to each other. While they are bonded they do like hanging out with the humans as well.

A few years ago, Miko flew into a door that was closing and suffered a catastrophic injury to his beak that severed most of his top beak off. The doc was able to reattach most of it, but it blunted the growth in the beak. The injury doesn’t affect his ability to eat, and he is healthy otherwise. He did break a toe during that same injury but is not in persistent pain or anything from that.

They haven’t been handled much in the past few years but have been pretty great with me at the rescue letting me handle them. They are flighted, so care should be exercised in keeping them safe when they fly in the home.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Jenday Conures do have a shrill call that is very loud. While they are not excessive vocalizers, they are certainly capable.

***Information that is universal to every bird:

1) Birds are typically not family animals. They usually choose a favorite and at best you can expect them to tolerate everyone else.

2) Birds are not great with kids, dogs, other birds, and are not cuddly with everyone, nor can they really be trained to be. Birds are flock animals, who are social creatures that need to be in a communal area where they can see the rest of the family, or you may eperience serious vocalization and behavior problems. We’ve never met a bird who is great with kids, but we have met kids who are respectful of birds.

3) Birds bite. But, you shouldn’t “take the bite”. If you’re getting bit, you haven’t earned the trust of the bird, and are pushing the bird past his/her limits. You must figure out what the bird needs, and make what you’re asking of the bird more attractive than what they are already doing.

4) Birds are not “dominance” based creatures. Your only option for birds is to earn their trust. If they are, say…on top of a cage and don’t want to come down, that is where they feel safest, not a dominance thing. They are not trying to exert dominance, they just don’t want to come down. Your job as a parrot owner is to figure out what you can do to help them trust you, and whatever you are asking to be more attractive than what they are already doing.

5) NEVER send money over the internet for adoption with any individual or organization for the adoption of an animal you have not met in person. That is almost always a scam.
