Conure For Sale Melbourne

If you are interested in a Conure in Melbourne or Geelong, you have come to the right place. We are a Victorian Bird Company located in Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne’s West, Ferntree Gully in the East and Norlane, Geelong and we have a fantastic range of Conures.

The first thing you need to decide on before you invest in a conure is ‘What is the purpose or what do you want from your Conure’?

Do you want a pet bird in a cage that you can teach to talk or do you want a companion pet that will love spending time with you and love your attention?

The price for a Conure ranges from $199 – $999 depending on the breed.

The variance in price is effected by the following :

Fledgling – From $199

A fledgling that has been raised by its parents, is still a baby but has left the nest and is flying in an aviary. It is possible to teach them to talk; however they are difficult to train unless highly experienced.

Handled Baby – From $299

A baby that has been fed by its parents and when it is a couple of weeks away from leaving the nest, we spend time handling it. This may be 15 minutes, 3-4 times per day up until it fledges. Then the baby is taken inside the house and with a bit more human attention will become friendly. With this type of Conure, constant handling is normally required to keep the bird perfectly tame.

Hand Reared Baby – This is the best way to invest in a baby companion pet for many kisses and cuddles. $999

A baby Conure is a delicate little creature and to hand rear one takes a lot of care and nurturing time. Therefore, hand reared birds sell for a higher price than one that is reared by its parents.

The hand rearing process starts at about 3 weeks where we hand feed the baby a specialized formula five times throughout the day, including early morning and late night. Their feathers are cleaned after each feed and their bedding is cleaned at least twice a day to ensure a healthy environment for their growth and health. And this is only the beginning. As they grow, they need handling and human interaction throughout the day which accustoms them to being part of the family.

Above is a brief description of the time and effort it takes to hand rear and tame a baby Conure.  It is a very dedicated six-week period for our hand rearers who love what they do.

Availability

Another variable is the season and availability of babies. Eg off breeding season means that there is a scarcity and the price maybe much higher.
