Maxx & Emma -Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conures (Male & Female)
Maxx my Yellow Sided GCC is 4 and 1/2 years old. I got him at 11 weeks. He is totally bonded to myself and my partner. He enjoys his time in a HUGE inside cage, and a big outside cage when the weather permits.

Just wondering how old your GCC's are. What is the oldest here? I know Maxx is just a baby in bird years. So is 25-30 years a good estimate?

Looking forward to hearing about your birds ages.

My female Monkey is 5 years and my male Monster is 4 1/2 years. And yes 25 to 30 is a good estimate for the gcc.

My sun is almost 2 years. My Amazon is 34 years. My female cockatiels are almost 5 years. And my cockatoo is anywhere from 15 to 40 or more.....but we say 15 years when asked.

Foofanny is pretty young. We got her early summer of 2012 and they thought she was about 9 months to 2 years. (so we really don't know haha)

I think she is about 4 years old.

Avery, a GCC born on March 5th, 2013 & Shiko, a blue IRN born on February 25th, 2014
Avery is 2 years and 5 months old, I've had her since she was 3 months old. There are quite a few members on here that have older conures, but I can't recall who. I'm hoping that my two birds will be with me well into my 40's, considering I'm only 23. My babies better make it to at least 20! ;)

Hatch date- June 4th 2015
Mochi is only 10 weeks old. He's still a little baby, with a lot of curiosity for the world.

Taco: female cinnamon pearl cockatiel - hatched: ~September 2013, Gotcha date: Nov 29th, 2013
Tiki: Male yellow-sided green cheek conure - hatched April 10th, 2015, Gotcha date May 24, 2015
I wonder if people with GCC's that are mature (older than 10 or so) would no longer visit forums about their birds because they have had them so long, hehe.

Our Tiki is only 4 1/2 months old and we have had him since 6 weeks old.
