I just received a 6 year old green cheeked conure . I named her Ivy, she took to me right away but has just biting the heck out of my hand and don't know what to do.

Welcome to you and Ivy! Biting is a pretty common concern with green cheeks. If you pop into the conure subforum, you’ll see lots of threads related to it with some great ideas about strategies :).

Also under general parrot forum the top blue sticky thread tips on bonding. I'm not a ckicker can, I use good birdie , instead if clicking. You might be pushing your bird to fast if you are getting bites..
