I work at a pet store and we got a Jenday conure about a month ago that i have hand-raised and given a lot of love and attention to because he was so underweight. I really want to buy this bird and finally showed it to my mom, who actually fell in love with it. It's basically a done deal, but my parents are concerned about what will happen to the bird in the next year or so as I transfer to another school. I'm a freshman in CC right now and was wondering if anyone knew of any schools that allowed birds or maybe another alternative for me?

Loud bird alert!!!!!! A jenday is as loud as a sun conure. This means a single family home unit only. Apartments will not work with this bird. You will be kicked out very quick for loud noise.
Sounds like mom and dad will be the proud caretakers and best Buddy of a Jenday Conure. Remember you will be mom to the bird but they will be grand parents and will end up stuck with the bird when you are out on a date or gone much at all. Being you work with birds you know they have to have someone taking care of them every day just like a young child does.
If they are not willing to adopt the bird and have time for it being you know you will not have time for the bird. Maybe you should not get it. It is not good to be neglect be it a child or a bird.
The dummy below me has no idea of what he/she is talking about. Do not ever just let a tame bird go. They will die with in 6 months because they do not know to fly south. They are from the south and do not migrate. So they would freeze or they would starve because not knowing where to get food or they would think it was ok to fly up to someone which that just might be a teen age male and he may just bat it with a baseball bat because it was kewl to do. Or a cat or dog will eat it. And being they don't know which birds are friendly would be killed by a hawk or something. plus why would you spend that much money to let it go.
If you can't take care of it just don't get it to start with. Or find someone that wants it.. But remember you will make that bird love you and then you will abandon again like a child he will grieve.

Most folks I know leave their birds at home with their parents. Those that keep their birds tend to live in apartments or rent a room in a home.
I've heard of people keeping Blue and Gold macaws in apartments. The owners just went to the other tenants and said this is what I have and if you have problems please speak to me. The person has lived with that bird in an apartment for years and no-one has complained. I think if you take some precautions you can bring your bird with you. I'm lucky in that I live in the same city as my schools so I've always been able to return home after class.
I wish I could give you some schools that would help you out with your bird help. Good luck though. Jendays are a hoot!

There are some 4 year colleges that accept pets in college dorms. Some are "fish-only" policies, but if you do a search, I'm sure you could come up with something.
Perhaps you should consider living off campus. That's always an option. If you choose a College that has nearby housing available, please consider that. Also, you might do a search on Sororities that would be bird friendly. I don't know where you live or what your major is, but I find it admirable that you are taking your bird into consideration.
With no more information than you have provided, I am unable to advise you further, but look into every possibility you can find and good luck.

No, it is a parasitical birds egg. Cuckoos try this. Cowbirds try this, nonetheless they sell off the unique eggs. A parasitical fowl lays eggs in yet another style birds nest and the the fowl who's nest it is will boost the parasites youthful. some species will wait till hatching to offload the unique eggs, or kill the unique nestlings,. bypass to precise ten and ask fowl female for an identity of the egg. i think of Indigo is nice. I in simple terms have been given an identity at " Cow fowl egg " in my handle bar and evidently like a adventure. This looks a version on prevalent Cow fowl dumping habit, nonetheless.

What ever you do decide to do, make sure you are doing it with the birds best interests at heart. Jendays can get mean if they are left by themselves. They need daily interaction if they are not to become cage bound.

If you are unsure about were you are going to be in the next year it's not a good idea to get the bird unless your parents can take care of it.

I hate to answer a question with a question but do you really feel that getting the bird would be in the bird best interest?

THE QUESTION WOULD DEPEND ON IF YOU LIVED IN A DORM OR OFF CAMPUS. ALSO A CONURE DOESN'T MAKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR IN APARTMENTS DUE TO THE VOLUME THE LITTLE FELLOWS HAVE. IS YOUR PARENTS WILLING TO KEEP YOUR BIRD? IF SO ARE YOU WILLING TO NOT GET UPSET IF THE CONURE BONDS WITH THEM INSTEAD OF YOU?

Check with the schools that you are interested in. When I went to college I took my turtle with me! You could luck out and get to take it, but the chances are probably small. Will your parents take care of it for you? Good luck!
