A few years back, one of my sister's co-workers offered her a pet bird, a sun conure. Initially, she passed but my mom and niece found out about it and pestered her to get it. So she did, went and got the bird, brought it in and it immediately started screeching. It screeched for several months. It wasn't tame enough to let out, it didn't talk, it didn't respond to "pretty bird" the only thing it did was make a *** mess and screech from 5 am to 10 pm. The woman told my sister if she couldn't keep it, to call her and she'd take it back. So the new wore off, everyone got sick of the useless noise-maker that we had to feed. Let me be clear, when I say noise, I mean you could hear it screaming at the end of our yard, through two buildings from the inside of a car. So sis tried to get ahold of the original owner and it seemed she dropped off the face of the Earth. "I don't know why she's not answering." So I told my sister "She probably was able to move to a nicer place, find a guy, get married and have a kid. Her life is better without the bird. I wouldn't answer either." Eventually, we pawned it off on the people across the street. I still hear it screaming sometimes. Anyway, my point is don't buy a sun conure if you buy a bird. Buy something pretty that doesn't sit and scream.
