SassyByrd (DYH Amazon) JoJo (GCC) Betty (GCC) DEARLY LOVED fids lost to “Teflon Disaster� 12/17 RIP Pickles (GC),RIP Winston (Sun), RIP Lady PLEASE TAKE 5 MINUTES &TOSS OUT ALL YOUR TEFLON NOW!
I don't know. I have 1 GCC and 2 Suns. The Suns are bold, loud, pretentious, drama queen nosy know it alls. My GCC is perfect. I am sure there are a lot of Monster GCC, but I don't think they can come close to a Sun in the above qualities. I love all my fids the same, truly. However, if I were running a Birdie Adoption Agency my GCC would probably fit into most home situations. My Suns would be hard to place special needs birds. The two, in my opinion, require a totally different mind set. Adopting an adult GCC would help (but not guarantee) that his/her personality would fit into your lifestyle. Just my (very limited) experience.

I think maybe this was taken the wrong way... I don't mind the noise at all! I was posting more as a light-hearted joke than anything... trying to show that ALL birds make noise at times.

I love my Kyo more than anything, I'm sorry that you misunderstood me.

I love my Gcc! But between her and my Jenday, and Sun...personality would go to the Jen and Sun... Along with the noisey award lol.

My Gcc is a diva. Total 'little dog' syndrome right there :) thinks she's a bald eagle. She's more apt to snap at me than the other 2. Though in her defense, she is much more naturally confident around random people.

But we gotta love our Gcc :) :D

If you look up sun conures in the dictionary, I think that's the exact definition given. lol

I wouldn't want Skitty any other way! lol.

Reminds me of way-back-when I worked in a pet store, little kids would ask "Does it bite?" One of my co-workers would say, "If it has a mouth, it can bite."
SO
If it has a voice, it can be noisy!

My GCC was a little dinosaur, haha! She had so much spunk, one of the best birds ever.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. LOL. I don't adore Skittles poop. LOL. Luckily he's potty trained so when he lets out his "morning dump" of stinky poop, it's on one of his 'poop mats'.

Kyo is sort of potty trained.... If I know she hasn't gone in a bit I can ask her to go and she will... but she doesn't hold it long lol and she always announces when she poops! She goes "GO POOPIE!" but unfortunately almost always after the poop.
