I am from Seekonk MA right on the RI border. I have had my new green cheek conure for 5 days. He/she is approx. 10 weeks old and has been hand fed. We have decided to call her/him Olive because of her general green coloring and pimento red tail.
She is very, very active; moving round and round and up and down her cage and playing with a toy every time she passes one. She's somewhat nippy, and we try to distract her from biting with a toy when she is out of the cage. This meets with modest success. I understand this is normal for a newly weaned bird, but would like to know when this will stop, and what I need to do. She is loving and has already started to cuddle with me. Anyone have any advice to offer, or experiences to share? Thanks!
