Yellow Sided GCC Oliver (October 2009), and a Cinnamon GCC Mia (August 2013)
Hello! I'm new to this forum but I've had my GCC Oliver for almost 4 years.
I got him the day before Halloween my Freshman year of High School and graduated in June! I even skipped Halloween that year because I just couldn't let him out of my sight. If you knew me you'd know dressing up in costumes is a HUGE deal to me. I'm hoping to adopt another bird soon, but I'm not in a rush. I was thinking about a dusky conure, they seem really interesting to me and I think it would at least be possible for a dusky and gcc to get along. Otherwise I would probably just get a second GCC :)

Here's some pictures us.

Thanks guys :)

Yeah I love him so so much. We actually used to have a lot of issues when he lived downstairs in the kitchen/living room area because he would scream when he wanted attention. This caused my parents to really dislike, maybe hate him.. It was terrible, and my family yelling back at him only reinforced this behavior. But now that he's upstairs and mostly only interacting with my sister and I he's learned that screaming doesn't work anymore. He hardly screams at all now except when I get home or sometimes right after I leave the room.

Welcome! I just got my Sun on the 4th of July and I know what you mean about not going out on Halloween! I was supposed to spend the evening at a barbecue and I left after only half hour because I missed my baby! I'm spending a lot more time at home now! He has already made me so happy :)

Imagine the amount of money you've saved up for staying at home so you have more budget to buy bird toys! :D

Oh definitely! Hopefully this will just be for one year though till I decide where I want to go to school. Things have been chaotic these last few years for me so I'm grateful to have some time to really think about everything.

But I actually bought a lot of toy making supplies a few weeks ago, I need to sit down and make them!
