crimson bellied conure

[bogo1]

I am now the mom of a crimson bellied baby. Anyone familiar with this species? I understand it is pretty common in Europe but it is rare here.

Well, congrats on your new CBC! I love these beautiful birds! They really are not rare here but more difficult to find. There are excellent breeders in CA, FL, OH, and I believe Tx.

I think they are just BEAUTIFUL birds!!
I almost got one myself a few weeks ago.
Wouldn't that be funny?
We would both have a Cinnamon GCC and a CBC!

Are you aware of any particular needs the crimson bellied conjures have? This little one was a gift and I haven't been able to learn much about the species yet.

The same rules apply to them as with GCCs. They are very simular in the care required. The CBC is a little bit more even tempered then the GCC and a little bit bigger. I would search and read threads regarding the GCC to care for your CBC.

Thanks for that... info as I have plenty of experience with GCC having had one pretty much all my adulthood. Of course every bird is different and I have never started with a baby but if I can apply what I know re GCCs to caring for this young CBC I feel a bit more prepared. Thanks much for info.

I couldn't find much on them, but like GC said, they are alot like GCC. They ae also suposedly a mutation of the Pearly Conure. Heres a few information links on CBC's.

The links may not be much help, but those were the only sites with good-ish info on the CBC.

Crimson Belly

I have a cbc, Zoe and a Quaker, Elihu. Zoe is gorgeous. She started out hyper and flighty with a fear of hands, partly my fault since I have a serious case of the grab hands
Though I have to say my qp was nothing like her as a baby..calm and easy going.
I give Zoe suntheanine a calming amino acid and it helps
Usually parrots get more difficult as they get older Zoe has gotten easier. Now she cuddles in blanket on my chest and takes naps with me. She plays dinosaur wrestling...where I wrestle her with a toy dinosaur.She gets info it. She loves to cuddle Ito her blankets at night to sleep. She talks in her sleep at night. Soooo cute! She says piggy oink big smooch kisses zoey. She is always busy and hungry loves and chewing but she is 50x messier than myquaker! Her voice is tiny. My qp's worst quality is a screaming problem Sh. e has nit developed the same probl em.

one of my favourite conures by far!
they are highly intelligent, easy going, and strikingly beautiful.
both of my lovebirds copied his call, and still do it to this day
He went to bed on his own too, all I would have to say is "time for bed", and he would make his way across the cages and crawl into his cage....such a smartie

I have a crimson bellied conure baby, they´re rare in Spain and Scotland too.

She´s very loving and quite, but very playful.

Hi I also recently got a CBC. It is a male and he is just wonderful. They are very gentle and adorable little birds. Their care is the same as GCC. Enjoy
