What you do when getting bored and have nothing to do? Stare weirdly at your phone? Could be anything, right? Conures show the same symptoms of boredom like most of us. Conures have a painful way to grab attention. At times, they just want attention and they do what’s in their reach to get it. When they aren’t left with anything to do, they just start plucking their feathers one by one until someone notices them or they get something good enough to distract themselves.
