Defensive Sun Parakeet aka Sun Conure
Confident people gain his confidence right away. Also once he has it in for you it can take weeks to train him not to swoop. He is ultra aggressive and swoops the face and ears! Some of our friends are seldom seen these days.
I used to tell people to toughen up as Conrad's pecks did not hurt that much, then I discovered he ups the anti when he is defending his turf and has drawn blood on two people so far (he is now friends with both). We love how defensive he is!
We often joke that if Conrad was the size of a human he would be feared across the land. We do not encourage him, and now when we have groups of visitors and he gets upset we put him in the spare room until the coast is clear.
