green cheeked conure

Hello! I recently noticed this really weird growth in my conure's tail. I've never seen something like this before so I was concerned if I should visit a vet right away. Not sure if anyone else has seen something like this and offer any advice, but he doesn't let me touch it and bites me very...

Hi! about 2 weeks ago i got a 7 month old Green Cheeked Conure called Kiwi. Kiwi was born with only one foot but i was told it doesn’t seem to bother him and i don’t think it does. From getting Kiwi he seems to be a bit off, i was told he was a sweet funny cuddly bird and as he is becoming more...

Hi all! I have a GCC who was sold as a yellow-sided mutation. However, he has red spots on his shoulders and after about a year, his yellow is turning green after his first molt! I'd love to know what hybrid you all think he might be! Pearly? Fiery-shouldered? Included a picture for reference :)

I am having a hard time figuring out which species is right for us/which one would be happy in our family. :) My bird experience: I grew up owning budgies and loved them, but have been waiting to get a bird until my youngest was school age (he just started 1st grade), and developmentally...

Long story. I am the owner of a beautiful, tame yellow sided GCC. My mother was watching the bird and accidentally released her. She flew straight up and dissapeared. Out of guilt, and without asking, my parents, who know nothing about birds, bought me not one, but two GCCs, a male and female...

Hello everyone :D I'm the lucky new owner of a Green Cheeked Conure and I was curious about something. I have two Parakeets who I often play music for. It seems to soothe them when they are in a mess and they enjoy it even when things are alright. For Chloe, my GCC, I have played music but she...

Hello everyone :) My name is Leslie and I adopted a female Green Cheeked Conure two days ago (17 April). It's a silly little story - she was housed where I get most of my pet supplies - for about the last three months. And for those three months every time I went in I visited her and had a...

Green cheeked conure questions? Hello! I just got a GCC 4 days ago. He's very friendly and cuddly, and I was wondering how long does it take for a bird to get used to its new home? He has been eating great, playing a bit with his toys, and he actually has not problem with me. He lets me sit near...

Hey everyone! I just got my green cheeked conure today from his old owner who could no longer care for him anymore. He's one and a half years old and we were told because his former owner had no time and left him in the cage, he has become somewhat irritable and nippy. We brought him home and...

Hello, I am from York, Pennsylvania. I am the proud mommy of a beautiful female, Pineapple Turquoise Green Cheek Conure who's name is Gracie. A Male Dutch Blue Pied Lovebird Snuggles: he is the newest member of our flock. And also a Female Blue Pied Budgie Parakeet. I am married and have 3...

Hi Everyone, Today the DNA results came back and I selected my new baby. HE is a yellow-sided green cheek conure. His hatch date was 9/23/10 and I guess he will be coming home to me in December. He is special because it is the first time the breeding pair had all 5 eggs hatch. He is lucky #5...

Hi all, from NYC! I just joined the Forum after months of following all the stories and information and it has been really valuable to me. My new baby is still being raised by his Mom and Dad and co-parented by an amazing breeder. He is a Green Cheek Conure (Yellow-Sided or possibly...

My name is Tom and I live in Newark, DE. I love birds and had 2 parakeets when I was growing up: Polly:greenyellow: and Greeneroo :greenyellow: (guess what color he was). When I was older I had 2 cockatiels: the first one was a male named Arturo :yellow1:, who I had for 9 1/2 years. Artirp...
