GCC Peanut Male hatched 19/10/12
Hey to everyone. Im from the UK and Mum to Peanut, a 13 week old GC. Having "him" DNA sexed and microchipped next week. At times he puts his beak down onto the table and runs around like he is mad. Is this normal for a conure? Any info would be great thanks

Yup, it's juvenile play.....nothing to worry about.

Enjoy your new feathered friend & welcome to the forum.

My GCC does the same thing on the back of the sofa; you can hear a loud ziiiiiiiiiip as he runs by. I think it's a tactile thing, but he does it quite a lot. :)

My GCC loves to do that on our glass table. He looks at his reflection, and runs all over the table with his beak touching the glass!

GCC...TOKEN
That always cracks me up...my little guy does it to everything, the leather couch, the countertop, cardboard boxes and most recently the wood floors. It makes my daughter laugh so hard!

My Molly is almost two and does it on metal because, I think, she loves the sound. As others do, Molly does it on the counter top, glass, between the cage bars. Bottom line is they have some nerves in their beak and it is just another appendage that they use to "feel" around. Ultimately it is only strange behavior to the new GCC owners! :) Enjoy experiencing each day with your baby!!

I'm convinced this is how my GCC think being sneaky should look, cracks me up every time!
