One yellow-sided green cheek conure named Jojo!
(sorry if this is all over the place haha im super tired!)

Hello! I'm Cynda and I decided to finally join this forum! I've been lurking for a couple weeks now since I was preparing for my Conure, Jojo, so now that I finally have her I thought I'd make an account haha! In the past my mother owned a sun conure and I've learned most of my experience from being around Budgie! But since I moved out I've been away from him and I've been wanting a new bird companion so along came jojo!

For me, I'm just a really friendly person who just likes to talk every now and again, I don't have too much to say about myself unfortunately other than I love to draw and write but I can sure talk about my pets!

First of all I just got Jojo today, shes a Yellow sided green cheek conure and I'm 80% sure she's a girl due to everything I've read online, not that I'd mind if she was a boy or a girl. I've been preparing everything for about 2 weeks since someone contacted me about having her when I posted an ad on craigslist (I know, shady haha but I was desperate for a bird friend!). Her hatch date was somewhere around October 7th as far as I know so she's still pretty young and learning. Currently I'm working on gaining her trust before anything else and I'm just enjoying seeing her! I don't have many pictures I took myself since they're all cage view lol but my current profile picture is of her before I got her. Right now shes semi-napping semi-munching on her mix of bean cuisine, fresh fruit, pellets and veggies! Shes so adorable and so shy I cant wait to start working with her more!
(i cant believe how much money i spent from over indulging on buying her things oops haha)

As for other pets I have 2 cats named catsby and ollie, catsby is a clingy white and black cat and Ollie is a chubby tortoiseshell calico whos the grumpiest but sweetest thing ever. And finally theres Mr. Glubbs my spoiled betta fish! (lives in a 20 gallon all by himself).

The only current picture of Jojo i have is a little messy (don't mind the plastic bowls theyre getting changed out as soon as i can!)

You are so so welcome! FYI, both my JoJo and I were certain she was she, well blood work and time proved us wrong!

Thank you so much and oh wow another Jojo thats so neat haha! Oh boy I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong it's all just a guess at this point! One day I might get her DNA tested if I'm overly curious but for now I don't mind my assumptions haha!
