wow, beautiful birds! how much are you asking for the babies and when are they available?
ReplyDeleteHi, I was also curious about your price and your location. Please reply, I am very interested!
ReplyDeletelocated in Georgia probably $800.00 for single factor chicks
ReplyDeleteI've been educating myself on the red factor sun's & everything I have read says you should not breed 2 red factors because of genetic problems that cause them to have shortened life spans. From what I've read it is recommended that you breed a normal & a red factor only. Please comment on the fact that you seem to be breeding 2 red factors...
ReplyDeleteYes, Anonymous you can read more here

But to answer your question, usually 1 out of 4 chicks might be whats called a double factor sun conure when 2 red factor sun conures are bred together, and those rare babies do have shortened life spans. I paired Sunkiss and Pyro together 4 years ago before anyone really knew about this happening(or before I found it on the internet, wish breeders would have told me up front but I don't think they even knew). I debated over and over again about pairing them with normal sun conures but I couldn't afford to buy other sun conures & cages, and I was too attached to sell either of my suns, they are like my kids... Eventually, I would like to have an aviary of suns and let Sunkiss and Pyro maybe choose different mates but I'm currently not in a good situation for that. We are traveling a lot and constantly looking for bird sitters lol. Not a good situation for any bird breeder.
Guess I wasn't very clear on some things.
Delete1. You can tell a double factor sun conure apart from others as soon as it starts to feather without genetic testing. I've seen babies and they look much different.
2. They die before they are weaned, so no one would be buying a bird that is all the sudden going to die.
3. We are traveling a lot, not exactly a good situation for a bird breeder, > I was meaning, I am not a breeder. When I have time and money for it I might let Sunkiss and Pyro choose mates some day after we move to South America, but currently I'm in no situation to breed them, besides the fact Pyro can't reproduce.
