The average household has over a hundred seemingly harmless things that can injure or kill your Sun Conure. While we can't list all of them, we can list those most common.

Things to avoid:

• Cats. All cats natuarally carry a Pasteurella bacteria that is extremely toxic to most small animals, including birds, and even to humans. For this reason, cats should never be allowed to play with or near your bird. The bacteria can be expelled in their saliva and droppings, so anywhere your cat plays, and anything it touches, should be considered a bio-hazard. Always make sure your cats food dishes and litter box are never in the same room as your Sun Conure. If the cat and your sun ever make contact, even if you do not see any injuries, the sun should be taken to the vet immediately.
• Poisons and Toxins. Please read the article on Household Toxins for a detailed list of common hazards for birds.
• Chocolate, avocato, coffee, and salt are poisonous to birds. Avocatos, chocolate, cola products(ALmost all soft drinks) tea and coffee are lethal! They contain a chemical called theobromine. Many people give their birds salted peanuts, but do not realize that their birds can not expel salt the way people can. It should be given in the smallest quantities, and rarely.
• Ceiling Fans. I wish that I could stress more just how dangerous these are. The fan spins, the bird flies, and when they make contact, the bird comes out with serious and even life threatening injuries. Before you let your sun out, turn off your ceiling fans.
• Lamps and Lighting Fixtures. Lampshades are a natural attraction for a bird, and the odds are that the bird will find it's way into the shade and into contact with the bilb which is a severe burn hazard. Turn off lights that arent covered to a degree that the sun conure can not touch the hot parts.
• Open Toilets. Your sun conure can drown in a matter of seconds. Lids Down!
• Mirrors, windows, doors, pictures... Mostly anything glass can appear non-existent to a sun conure in flight. They may see it as an exit point and full flight right into any of them, so be careful.
• Last but probably most important at all! Never leave your bird unattended, or out of his cage when not at home. This probably accounts for the majority of accidents. Sun conures require about as much attention as a 5 year old child, when out of the cage, and can certainly get into about as much trouble.
