My flock is finally complete! Definitely no more after this though lol! The sun conures are in jail because they decided they can't play nice with the new babies.

Aww they’re all different. That’s awesome! Are sun conures around the same size as green-cheeks?

They are a bit bigger than the green cheeks. Maybe double the size?

Oh OK. Do all your birds usually get along? Which birds are new?

The green cheek conures and the black capped conure get along with each other. The sun conures only get along with one of the green cheek conures and want to attack the others. The three up front are the newest additions.

The black capped is in the front on the left? Do the suns and one green cheek get along because they’ve known each other longer? I’ve read in other comments of letting the birds figure it out. What does that mean? You don’t intervene unless there becomes a huge issue?

Yep! And I think so. The sun conures were babies when they were introduced to the green cheek in the far back and they've been together for 3-4 years now. I let the green cheeks figure it out but keep the sun conures separate because they are bigger and inflict a lot more damage. When the green cheeks start fighting i just distract them with other tasks and that usually settles them down.
