Care Notes

Common Feeding Mistakes
The biggest conure mistake is a seed-only diet. It leads to vitamin A deficiency and obesity, two of the most common problems avian vets see in conures. Signs of low vitamin A include crusty nares, mouth plaques and poor feather quality. Build the diet on formulated pellets and offer orange and dark green vegetables like capsicum, carrot, sweet potato and leafy greens. Keep sunflower seed and fatty treats small, and scale the amount to your bird, a green-cheek needs far less than a sun conure.
Habitat Requirements
Conures are active, curious and love to climb and forage, so give them the largest cage you can with plenty of perches, ropes and shreddable toys. They need several hours out of the cage each day and lots of interaction. Provide foraging enrichment to keep their busy minds occupied, keep the cage out of draughts and harsh afternoon sun, and offer safe branches to chew.
Handling & Socialisation
Conures bond closely with their people and thrive on gentle, consistent daily handling. Start early, keep sessions short and positive, and set clear, kind boundaries to prevent nipping. Green-cheeks are quieter and beginner-friendly, while sun conures are louder and more demanding. All conures are clever and enjoy training, tricks and foraging games, and need company to stay happy.

THE CONURES MESS PROBLEM

Conures are lively scatter-feeders that flick, sort and drop food across the cage. A cage-mounted feeder keeps their food contained in one place instead of scattered over the cage floor and the room around it, so cleanup is faster.

MOUNTING

STAYS STABLE DURING FEEDING

Conures climb, hang and lean while they eat, so a feeder that swings or shifts makes mess fast. The Seed Cube clips firmly to the cage bars and stays put while your bird feeds.

Secure mounting keeps the feeder steady

No swinging or tipping during feeding

WHY SEED CUBE WORKS FOR CONURES

Conures are busy, dexterous eaters that gain weight easily and often run low on vitamin A on a seed-heavy diet. The Seed Cube handles their active feeding, and its foraging style helps slow scatter-feeding and support portion control.

Why the Small Seed Cube works long term

CONURE FEEDING AND SEED CUBE FAQs

Common questions about feeding conures and keeping the cage clean with Seed Cube.

Yes. The Small Seed Cube is sized for small parrots like conures and mounts to the bars of a standard conure cage or aviary. It suits both little green-cheeked conures and larger sun conures, and clips firmly in place while your bird climbs and feeds.
No. Conures are busy, dexterous foragers, but the Seed Cube is built from tough, bird-safe materials that stand up to daily chewing, gripping and pulling. It is made for active parrots that like to work at their food.
Yes. Conures are enthusiastic scatter-feeders that flick and drop food everywhere. The Seed Cube contains food inside a mounted chamber, so far less ends up on the cage floor and the surrounding room, which means less daily cleanup.
A conure needs the Small Seed Cube. Green-cheeked conures weigh around 60 to 80 grams and sun conures around 100 to 120 grams, so both fit the Small size. The Large Seed Cube is built for big parrots like cockatoos, galahs and macaws.
It clips securely to the cage bars and stays stable while your conure climbs, leans and braces to eat. A feeder that swings or shifts makes feeding messy, so the Seed Cube is designed to lock in place.
Yes. The Seed Cube comes apart for quick washing, and the slide-in tray makes daily refills and changeovers fast. Clean feeding gear matters for a conure, because leftover fresh food can spoil quickly.
Yes. The Seed Cube works for pellets, fresh food and seed, so it is a handy tool while you convert a seed-loving conure onto a healthier pellet-based diet. Offer pellets in the feeder alongside a reducing amount of seed and let your bird explore.
Use it for formulated pellets as the daily base, fresh vegetables and leafy greens, and a small topping of quality seed. Include vitamin A rich veg like capsicum, carrot and sweet potato, because conures on seed-only diets often run low on vitamin A.
It can. The Seed Cube encourages your conure to work a little for its food, which slows fast eating, adds enrichment for a busy mind and supports portion control. That helps with the obesity and boredom conures are prone to.

Meet the founders

An Aussie family brand, built for cleaner bird feeding.

Hi, we are Russell and Peita.

Seed Cube started at home with one very determined Alexandrine. After years of cracked plastic, slipped mounts, and constant clean ups, we realised most feeders were not built to handle real birds or daily use.

We set out to build something we would actually trust.
That same focus on strength, stability, and cleaner feeding now guides how we design feeders for daily cage use.

There are now over 10,000 Seed Cubes in use worldwide. We do not build feeders to be cheap. We build them so feeding feels easier and spaces feel calmer.
