gcc

Hello everybody! New to the forum, and the proud owner of two lovely conures. I’ve had my turquoise gcc Milo for just over 2 years now, and recently got a new baby dusky (Oli). I was a bit worried they wouldn’t get along because Milo hates anyone who isn’t me, but he went into total overbearing...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, as well as green cheek conure ownership. I recently purchased 2 Green Cheek Conures, Skittles(3 Month Old) and Kiwi(Just under a year) I have had them for three days now. Skittles, the young one, started getting on top of Kiwi and rubbing, like he is...

My nephew graduated from the Univ. of Connecticut and moved back overseas. He was not able to take his parrot back with him. He is a happy little bird that loves to sing and play. We are offering him free to a good home along with his cage, toys, vet records and food. Please message me if you...

So I'm looking for advice for the future with my green cheek conure, Haku. For some background, he is my ESA in college and as such lives in a dorm room with me and my roommate. Because we both are in the same room and are considered "homebodies", one/both of us are in the room all the time. As...

A little over a week ago my GCC has started this thing where whenever his cage is covered at night or in the morning, he taps/bangs his beak on the cage. He’s almost 5 years old and up until his point had never done that before. I’m essentially 95% sure it’s him trying to get attention, but...

So my 11 month old Green Cheek Conure, who I've been attempting to flight, got spooked and flew frantically into a mid-speed ceiling fan, then flew back down and landed onto a table. She had a line of dust on her head, presumably from the blade- but she isn't showing any signs of injury or...

I do sfx on occasion, quite close to my bird cage, What I use is scar wax, liquid latex and blood I was wondering if any of the fumes off of these things could potentially harm my gcc

Hi all, created an account to get some more advice after scrolling through countless threads. I've recently inherited a pineapple GCC after a family member passed. I've always had birds but haven't had parrots since I was young, and have never had a conure. Sara is at least 5 years old and has...

I bought this harness for my almost 1 year on gcc Ari but he hates it. Is there any way that I could train him to hold still and slip his head through? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone! My name is Maggie and I’m bird mom to an 8 month old violet English Budgie named Morty and a 3 month old Rosy Fronted Conure named Loki! I’m also mom to a wonderful 9 year old daughter named Lily, who is Morty’s bff! We brought Loki home today and he or she (we find out in a few...

I want to make sure I'm not on the track for obesity with my GCC, I keep roudybush crumbles and change out maybe weekly mostly just topping off, with sensible seed mix in another dish changing that out every three days or so (he seems to really like those lil white seeds) so just dumping out the...

My GCC is about 6 months old and has recently started exhaling kind of oddly. He will exhale similarly to a very small cough or as if he has something in his throat. Is this normal? This is my first bird and I just want to make sure everything is okay. Thanks!:gcc:

I'm looking to upgrade Kermit's (my GCC's) cage. It's about 4 years old, purchased for $100 off amazon, an A&E flight cage, advertised as wrought iron, and originally purchased to contain a budgie. I was never pleased with the construction of the cage. The bars seemed a bit thin to me, one of...

My female, almost 3 yr old GCC, "Piper", has suddenly developed some brown/coppery colorations on her head--around the crown and down her nape a bit--over the black. It's translucent and I had to see her in outdoor light to see it, but it's definitely real. Possible causes I'm...

Hi everyone! I'm new here (sorry if this post seem repetitive, I haven't really seen a post talking about it happening to another bird?) But I have two green cheeks, Kiwi and Chai In November last year I found out the Chai had been ripping Kiwi's back feathers, not pulling them out, just...

Almost two years ago, my mom got a Green cheek Conure. She said she'd owned birds before (zebra finch) and claimed that It would be the exact same. I assumed she'd done research and learned how to properly care for the bird. I was wrong. It took me over a year to convince her to get even a...

Hey guys! So I totally caught the bird bug and I’m thinking about getting a second bird. I’ve narrowed down my options to either a GCC or a peachie. I’m totally stuck between the two and was looking for some advice. For some background: I’m a college student, not living in dorms, and I do have...

Butter was finally taken the vet today! :gcc: And I was able to convince Dad to let him get a checkup. Fortunately, nothing too bad ended up being the case! :D His molt is just really irritating for him so I’m going to have to give him a prescribed medicine twice a day. Thank you all so much for...

My GCC loves to rub and tap his beak on anything and everything, is this a normal behavior? I wasn't worried about it because I had heard they did this to show ownership but today I noticed his beak is becoming slightly discolored where he rubs it. He has a beak buffer and cuttlebones in his...

Hey all, Spring is in the air and Kermit is loving a lot of her toys... literally. She's coming up on 3 years so she's already passed her initial puberty monster. But she's rubbing up on a lot of her toys. I try to remove suggestive toys as she rubs up on them, but this feels more reactive vs...
