Conure Supplies & Cost?

I'm looking into getting a Sun Conure, I've read several websites and a lot say very different things about what I need. It would be great to know exactly what I would need for a Conure, about the cost of the supplies, the cost of the bird and things of that nature.
Thanks ;)

We have a sunday conure. He was a little more expensive then a sun (around $550.00). Conures are very active, and love to play and climb, so the bigger cage you get, the better off for your conure. 24 in long by 18 in wide and 24 inches tall will do, but they will make use of space in larger cages!! We have ours in a macaw cage. Check out www.avianadventures.com for some really neat cages (we just bought one with a removable top playgym for $225 and we love it!) They love chewing, so make sure you have lots of fun toys. Mine loves toys that have dangly ropes and shreddable toys. We bought him concrete and calcium perches for his beak and nails. We feed him a diet of three quarters roudybush pellets and one quarter kaytee conure food. We put a few peanuts (in the shell, they like them) in his bowl a couple times a week. They also should be feed more vitamin a, which you can give them fruits and veggies. Mine loves grapes, apples, bananas, mango, pineapple, green beans, peas and potatoes. Make sure you wash everything you feed him really well to remove any pestisides that may be on them (or try to buy organic that hasn't been treated). Our vet visit for him is usually $35.00 a year for his check up and nail trim. And that's pretty much all I can think of!! Oh, for treats we give him fruit or cherrios (not frosted) popcorn (unsalted), and he loves pizza crust!! We cut his food into slices or pieces that he can easily hold. Make sure you buy a shallow dish too- ours is a bath-time fool. He loves taking a bath, and making a mess! Good luck with your new baby, your gonna love him! Ours makes us laugh every day.

Beware--they scream a bunch!!! Maroon Belly/Green cheecks are much quieter.

Having said that you will need
bird (about 400)
a cage (about 200-300) ones with a skirt to catch mess are good, bigger the better, but have to have the right spacing on bars
toys--several, a few at a time in the cage and rotate them occasionally and use variety of materials--wood, acrylic...(about $7-15 a piece)
food (depends on quality about $12 a bag)
treats
dishes (3--for food, water and treats/veggies--if they don't come with cage)
use perches of right size and at least a couple of different sizes--the ones that help trim nails are neat

nail trimmer and styptic powder if you plan to cut nails, i recommend having the pet store/vet do it
something to cover the cage (blanket??)
a book on conures if you like
expect to spend about 800 to get started
