Where to Buy a Fully Trained Conure Parrot – Ready for Your Home

Introduction: Finding the Perfect Trained Conure

If you’re looking for a fully trained conure parrot, you’re making a smart choice. Conures are playful, intelligent, and affectionate birds, but they can be a handful if not properly trained. A hand-raised, well-socialized conure will step up on command, enjoy human interaction, and even mimic words or sounds. Well trained conure parrot for sale in our petshop.

As a professional breeder of exotic parrots based in California, I’ve spent years hand-raising and training conuresto be the perfect companion birds. We provide CITES permits for legal ownership, ensuring that every bird we sell is ethically sourced and well-cared for.

But where should you buy a fully trained conure? Let’s explore the best options and what to look for when choosing your feathered friend.

Why Choose a Fully Trained Conure Parrot?

A trained conure makes life easier for both you and the bird. Trust me, I’ve worked with enough conures to know the difference between an untamed one and a trained one!

1. Easier to Handle

A trained conure will:

  • Step up on command (onto your hand or arm).
  • Stay calm during handling instead of biting or squawking.
  • Be comfortable with human interaction, making bonding easier.

2. Better Behavior & Fewer Bad Habits

Untrained conures can develop bad habits like biting, excessive screaming, or feather plucking. Training helps reinforce good behavior and prevents these issues from becoming long-term problems.

3. Talking & Tricks

Many conures learn words, phrases, and even tricks when properly trained. While not all conures become talkers, a well-socialized bird is more likely to mimic sounds and words.

4. Stress-Free Vet Visits & Grooming

A conure accustomed to handling will tolerate nail trims, wing clipping, and vet check-ups without a fuss. This makes regular care much easier.

What to Look for When Buying a Trained Conure Parrot

Not all trained birds are created equal. Here’s what to look for with our trained conure parrot for sale:

1. Hand-Raised vs. Store-Bought

Hand-raised conures, like the ones we breed, are raised with human interaction from day one. Birds from pet stores may not get the same level of care and training.

2. Health & Vet Certification

Make sure the bird is:
 Vet-checked and healthy
 Free from diseases like Psittacosis and PBFD
 DNA sexed if you have a gender preference

3. Training Level

Ask the seller or breeder:

  • Does the conure step up on command?
  • Is it hand-tamed and socialized?
  • Can it do any basic tricks or talk?

If you’re buying an exotic bird like a conure, check if a CITES permit is required. We provide this permit with all our birds, ensuring legal and ethical ownership.

Where to Buy a Fully Trained Conure Parrot

So, where can you find a properly trained, well-socialized conure? Let’s break down the options.

A. Buying from a Professional Breeder (Best Option)

If you want a healthy, well-trained conure, buying from a reputable breeder is the best choice.

Why Choose a Breeder?

 Hand-raised from an early age
 Socialized with humans and other birds
 Health guarantee and vet-checked
 Training starts early, making transition to new home easier

Why Choose Our Aviary?

As a California-based breeder, we offer:

  • Hand-raised, fully trained conures ready for loving homes.
  • CITES permit for legal ownership.
  • Health guarantee and vet certification.
  • Shipping available to legal states in the USA.
  • Ongoing support to help you bond with your new conure.

I personally train each bird to step up, interact with people, and be comfortable in a home environment. Many of our birds also start learning basic words and tricks before going to their new families.

B. Buying from an Exotic Pet Shop

Some high-quality pet stores do carry trained conures, but there are risks:
 Birds may not be hand-raised – they may be parent-raised and less socialized.
 Limited training – many stores don’t provide real behavioral training.
 Higher exposure to diseases due to multiple animals in one location.

If you go this route, ask if the bird has been hand-fed, socialized, and health-checked by a vet.

C. Adopting from a Rescue or Sanctuary

Adopting is a great option if you’re open to giving a bird a second chance. Many rescues have adult conures that are already trained and socialized.

Pros of Adoption

You’re helping a bird in need.
Some birds are already tame and trained.
Adoption fees are often lower than breeder prices.

Cons of Adoption

 Unknown history – some birds may have past trauma.
 Behavioral issues may require retraining.
 Limited selection – you may not find the breed or age you want.

At our aviary, we also offer trained conures for adoption when we receive birds that need rehoming.

How to Buy a Fully Trained Conure Online Safely

Buying a bird online? Here’s how to avoid scams and ensure a safe purchase:

1. Check the Breeder’s Reputation

  • Look for customer reviews and testimonials.
  • A legitimate breeder should have an established website and social media presence.

2. Request Videos & Live Proof

  • Ask for recent videos of the actual bird you’re buying.
  • Some breeders will even do live video calls to show the bird in real time.

3. Confirm Health Checks & Training Level

  • The breeder should provide vet certificates.
  • Ask if the bird has been trained to step up and interact with humans.

4. Review Shipping Policies

  • Safe bird shipping is possible but should be done with proper care and transport arrangements.
  • We offer nationwide shipping with experienced animal couriers to ensure the bird’s safety.
