Hello guys this is my first time having a parrot pet, I got him like months ago he likes me but still bites sometimes and never leaves his cage only rarely.. i tried putting food outside he looks hesitant, most of my family are scared of him but i think he knows im the safe place but he never...

My family have had our GCC for around 3 years and he’s always been bitey, I’ve tried training him out of it over the years but nothing has ever stuck. I live with my parents and can’t be sure they’re actually doing what I’ve asked when it comes to the bird and his training, which frustrates me...

Hello!! I am kinda new to this forum and to owning a conure. In all honesty I will probably post a lot here given that my knowledge of their behaviour is very weak. We got Cosmo a few weeks ago and he's so wonderful! The whole family loves him. But I went on a 3 day trip a few days ago and my...

Hello all, This is my first post reaching out for help for Autumn my Pineapple Green Cheek Conure. My husband and I adopted Autumn almost a year ago and she will be 2 years old soon. When we adopted her from her previous owner she seemed very gentle and sweet and was for the first couple months...

hi! I haven’t posted much on here so if this isn’t the right spot for this please let me know. My conure basil is about 7 years old now and she’s always been a little on the nippy side but never to this extent, In the past two days alone she’s bitten me 20+ times a couple times drawing blood...

How can I stop my Conure from biting? He gets jealous of every object I hold. I can't wipe up his poop without him come running and biting to the point of bleeding. He does the same when I hold remotes, phones, bottles, etc. I've been told so many different things. Ignore the behavior or say...

This is a recap: My male jenday attacks my mom for no reason. He’s flown from one room to another to attack her, dived from walls and tried to attack her eyes and hands. Additionally, he’s tried to bite my dads eyes. I thought it was because of me, so I experimented without me there, but kept a...

Hello, this is my first post on parrotforums, but I felt like it was neccessary to ask this because I'm not sure what to do ... (Hope I'm doing this right lol) I've had my Jenday for about 4 years now and I raised her from a fledgeling, she(I think she is a girl, though nobody knows for sure)'s...

Hey! I only plan to use this account for this one question, I'm seriously having a hard time right now :/ So in 2021, I got a new bird! His name is Ocarina. I've wanted another bird for a bit because my current bird, Majora, was alone throughout the day. Might not be necessary info, but my...

My mom came home for the first time and I put them in the cage for a while so we could organize everything. When I came back to let her feed them , they acted violently and bit to actually hurt , and me too which hasn’t happened. Then I studied their behavior and it’s a lot more aggressive and...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to get some insight if anyone could possibly help on the below issue - Recently my 2 year old Conure (Zazu :)) has been acting a little strange & aggressive towards my parents. She actually grew up with both my parents & I from February 2020 all the way up to April...

Two weeks ago I found a green cheek conure perching on my tree in my yard. We took it in because there were no lost n found posters around my neighborhood and there are some owls around too. We have no clue about its owner, age, name, how it's trained etc. So we assumed it lived quite far away...

I have a green cheek female named Coco and a male pineapple named Chiquis. They have been sexed and confirmed. Coco is about 8 years old and Chiquis is approx 1.5. They have lived in the same cage for over a year. They have always been affectionate and gotten along. Chiquis has always preferred...

I'm writing this while crying. Please read this and help me please I'll give some context. I've had my green cheek conure ( Chester) for almost 4 years and I got him with 1 month. He didn't have any problems with biting except when he was passing puberty but never with me just with others. Two...

Hey guys My names jacob and i just joined up to ask some questions about my lovely peach fronted conure Petrie. He’s going really well, and is the first conure ive owned. I’ve previously kept budgies and cockatiels, so i have a bit of experience. Anyway, he is hand-raised, gentle, and...

Hi everyone, I have an issue with my female pineapple Conure's feathers I would like some help with. I have attached some photos to this thread of what her feathers look like. It appears that she is chewing or plucking them and I would like to understand why and is there anything I can do to...

I have a 4 year old male sun conure that used to share a cage with a female cockatiel (suspected 5-6 years old). The conure was very sweet (except to my dad, brother and any male visitors) until about 2 months ago when my cockatiel escaped. We got her back after 3 hours when we tried coaxing her...

It started with him regurgitating which I successfully got him to stop doing. But now he always tries to rub up on me. :( At least I know he’s a boy. He’s been doing this for a while now.I can always tell when he’s about to cause he starts to really annoyingly nibble on my fingers. He also gets...

I was wondering if birds have certain preferences such as hair color and human genders. I ask this because he does not like boys and men. Especially my dad and brother. He’s really mean to them. I didn’t think that birds could smell it so I don’t know what it is. He hates men and boys because my...
