SUN CONURE BREEDING

Single Factor (red factor) Sun Conures expecting parents (Sunkiss behind Pyro in pict)

Proud soon to be parents :) Sunkiss and Pyro have their 1st egg as of yesterday morning! Thursday May 28 :) whoohoo

Sunkiss' bottom is still bulging so we are expecting another egg real soon. First egg should hatch June 22-24
The day before she laid her egg


As both parents being Single Factor sun conures they have the ability to produce a Double Factor sun conure which has red covering about all of its body. One out of four babies should display this color mutation (25%).

Currently feeding my breeding pair: leafy greens, steamed vegetables- corn, peas, grean beans, carrots, roudybush pellets, grapes, blue berries, apples, bananas, boiled eggs mashed, beans, rainbow pasta, and quiko egg food(in separate treat dish- don't seem to be eating it)

>plenty of fresh water, vitamin block, two cuttle bones, added calcium vitamin to their water

My pair are using a stainless steal boot box, with aspen pine shavings as bedding in their nest box.
