conure aggression

hello and thanks for reading. Any help or advice would be appreciated greatly. I have two Green cheek conures. One called pepper who is very good natured towards anyone and even my dogs, steps up everytime and will quite happily sit on your shoulder all day if he could. I have another Yellow...

Hi everyone! So I recently got a new budgie about a week and a half ago to be with my sisters budgie who is now mine. I changed my sisters budgie’s diet and put her in a big cage with toys compared to her crammed cage with other budgies. So I’ve been working on taming them. They used to be...

Hello, I recently bought a black capped conure from the not best place so he is not hand tamed. I have spent over a week trying to get him to like my hand, but it is not working. I would leave my hand in the cage and not do anything while he runs around frantically for 10 minutes. Whenever I...

Greetings, I recently adopted a pineapple conure (around 5 months old) 2 months ago (also I don't know my parrot's gender but I feel like she is a female) and I've noticed she lunges towards women to bite them and I don't know to keep her under control when guests come over but with males she...

Three or four weeks ago my mother purchased a 3 month old pineapple green cheek for my 16th and she/he has warmed up really quick and is super comfortable. My mother has had plenty of parrots in her childhood, but most of them hated her guts (not her fault). My parrot was the first parrot to...

Hey all!!! We got our sun conure a new cage and with the old one he came out all the time. Now he won't come out, we leave his door open all day and are not near him and he still wont come out. I want to start training him but he's aggressive in the cage so how do I get him out?

Help!! I recently bought a new baby pineapple gcc three days ago. Its 8 weeks old. It was handtamed and let’s me pet it and doesn’t act scared at all. It lets me grab it. The breeder did not teach it to step up he would grab them. However, I want to teach it to step up. I try to get him to step...

Hi everyone, so I have this recently adopted Sun Conure Mango. He was one of my class mates and I asked to take him in because they thought he was to loud. When he came home I saw in his cage there was no toys whatsoever so I instantly ordered them (most likely the reason he is loud). He liked...

Hi all! We got a 4 month old sun conure about a month and a half ago. The breeder we got him from wanted us to do this towel training with him to tame him but it hasn't worked out for us. We stopped the training a while ago but he is still somewhat afraid of us and very independent to where he...

Hi all! We just got a new pineapple conure today and we already have a GCC. The hope was that they would be friends but the pineapple is ruthlessly attacking our GC. Is there any hope of fixing this or should we return her because of her aggressive behaviour?

Hi all! I'm Mary. New here, just joined because I'm looking for some advice. It's a long story so bear with me: I've had my bird Moe for 3 years (co-owned with my mother who lives with me) since we rescued him. Moe and I are absolute BFF's and we used to spend almost all of my free time...

I’ve asked for advice on this situation before but again have found myself in a conundrum, here’s my situation: I currently own 3 conures, I’ll reference them as 1,2 and 3 to stop confusion but don’t be worried, I genuinely love them all very much. 1 is the birdie I got first, 16 months ago when...

I'm Kirstan. I have 3 lovely Conures. Beau is a male crimson bellied conure. Zelda is a female crimson bellied conure and Thomas is a male turquoise green cheek conure. They are all 5 years or younger and all rehomes. I'm also seeking advice on Beau - he is a sweet bird of about 1 year and 8...

So I have three conures, one black capped and two green cheeks (one pineapple and on yellow sided). I’ve had them well over a year and after being slowly introduced they all got along. Now for some reason really out of the blue, two of them can’t stand each other and fight. Not just like a slap...

Hello all, I have a ~1 year old sun conure. I just got him two weeks ago so we are still figuring each other out. He is having lots of issues with aggression while in his cage, perches (on top of his cage, 1 in the living room, 1 in the kitchen). Every morning I open his cage, he comes right out...

I have 3 little conures and they’re all at different levels with regards to how much they trust me. My most tame bird has been a bit aggressive but I put that down to hormones and she’s (unsexed) has become much friendly again. My least tame never shows aggression to me, we’ve got a good bond...

So I have had my GCC for about three weeks now, I have owned and/or worked with dozens of animal species however he is the first bird I've ever owned. Long story short - he was abandoned at my place of work and the nearest bird rescue is over three hours away. I work at a pet store that sells...

Hi all! I'm new here and have owned a little Green Cheek named Juju for a couple years now. She's incredibly aggressive (biter) and I'm hoping some of you might be able to offer some tips for training to make her a little more handleable. First some backstory for Juju: I got her a few years...

I have a pineapple conure. He is very sweet and loving to me and my daughter, he tends to leave my husband and youngest son alone, but attacks my oldest son (who is 9). Today he literally flew onto his arm and bit him. What can i do to fix this?

I've had my conure for about 5 months and he use to bite in the beginning but not too hard. I could handle the pain and I would never flinch. I made the biggest mistake today with him because I was having a bad day. I feel he's getting too cocky from being out so much and when he is out he needs...
