Navre is correct. Those tents can cause all kinds of problems... I do have two in two different cages because I have a bird that has very bad feet so he cannot perch and actually walks on his ankles, the poor thing, so he has platforms covered with paper for during the day and the tent at night. The other one that uses a tent is the last bird I got, a black capped caique called Javi. He is used to sleeping in his tent so he still has his but, as soon as he gets his new [larger] cage, I am going to start taking it out a little bit at a time.
I would suggest you try 'weaning' your conure from using it every night... it makes them hormonal and they can end up ingesting some of the fibers as well as getting tangled up in them.
