Impulse Parrots regularly hand raises baby Sun Conure chicks every breeding season. The chicks are brought into the brooder at 2-3 weeks of age and typically take 8 weeks to wean and be ready for their new homes
Hand Raised Sun Conures make great pets for all ages and love playing with you. They are very intelligent but can be rather noisy so please keep that in mind. They have a very limited talking ability but make a very fun small-medium sized pet bird. All our hand raised Sun Conures are weaned onto fresh fruit and vegetables, our very own Premium Bird Seed Mix and Vetafarm Parrot Essential Pellets.

Prior to being weaned, a young chicks life revolves solely around survival. Its primary focus is on when its parents are going to return to give it food and then it needs to compete with its siblings to make sure its seen and heard for the parents to feed it. The chick does not care about making friends or bonding with its parents at this stage because it is too busy focusing on surviving and getting to the stage it is weaned and independent.
Once it has finally reached fledging age (has left the nest and learnt to fly) it may still depend a small amount on its parents for food but its life survival instincts are starting to kick in and its searching for its own food and learning some important life skills to help it survive in the big wide world (are you sensing a theme here?).
So you want to buy a young bird or chick out of the nest prior to it being weaned? Save yourself the heartache and drama and let the experienced and professional hand raisers deal with the hard part (safely and healthily weaning a young chick is hard on both the chick and the hand raiser!). Get your hand raised companion parrots shortly after it is weaned to have be best chance at the new family member bonding with you and the rest of your family and adapting to a new environment without too much stress.
