1
Purchase an enclosure that is at least 20 inches tall by 20 inches wide and 30 inches deep. The conure needs to be able to stretch it's a wings a little. A cage with a "playground" on top of it is a plus.

2
Place a substrate that is easily cleaned like corn cob in the bottom of your bird cage.
-
3
Keep the cage in an area that has a relatively stable temperature. Avoid drafts and direct sunlight when you place the cage.
-
4
Add several perches and chew toys to the cage. Play gyms and other toys are good to entertain your bird when you are away.
-
5
Feed your conure a mixture of fortified seed, commercial pellets and fresh fruits and veggies. You can also feed spray millet as a treat to your conure.
-
6
Provide access to fresh clean non-chlorinated water at all times.

Change the substrate daily as well as the water and food. Clean the entire cage along with all bowls perches and toys once a month with a dilute bleach mix.

Spend time on a regular basis with your bird. They will crave your attention and you should fulfill their desire to be around you as much as possible.
