green cheeck conure

***Let me preface, this is not an emergency. The injury is incredibly superficial, clotted almost immediately, and parrot is running around acting like nothing happened.*** Rescued this parrot a few weeks ago. This GCC was surrendered twice in 5 years. The last owner took care of him well and...

Hi there We got a female budgie a week ago from a bad conditioned place. She’s been there for about four years. She’s a little cage bound. We let her out for the first time yesterday and she was super calm the whole time. She accepts a millet spray from my hands. She was on an almost all - seed...

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new here so apologies if I got any of this wrong - I've had my Green Cheek, Canderous, for around 2 months now, and a couple of weeks ago I noticed a yellow discoloured dent on his beak (picture attached - it looks like I'm holding him down but he's just getting neck...

I own an 8-month-old GCC who used to be the sweetest thing in the whole world, but as of three or four days ago she has wanted nothing to do with me, she bites at me when I take her out of her cage, and she puffs right up whenever I try to handle her. I usually put her right back in her cage...

Hello everyone. I have really bad news. We accidentally left a window slightly open and Zafir went out. This was on Monday when the sun was going down. We searched for her and did everything but no clue yet. It’s winter and it’s really cold but we did everything we could but I’m not writing...

Hello my name is Bunny! I am rehoming a green cheek conure with all of its supplies and the cage, basically everything. Hoenstly I feel like someone will be able to give her a better life. I had Rika for months now but I did not know that she would be affecting my allergies. I am located in NJ...

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...

At what age is the best time to start training your parrot?

I have a 4 month old GCC. I got him about a month and and a half ago, so I know he might still be sussing me out. His name is Leo and I love him so much already (if he is in fact a he, heck if I know 😂). I got him fully tamed and weaned. He’s very sweet and playful. And loves scritches and...

So I’ve had my greencheeck conure baby for about 2 and a half weeks now and it’s like we’ve never been apart. He loves me so much. Which Im so very greatful for because when I first got him he wouldn’t really interact with me and always bit. I was so sad. (Thanks for everyone’s tips who got him...

So I've owned a green cheek conure for about two weeks. Was very quiet in the first week while settling in - however now every time it sees another bird fly past the window he/she flock calls extremely loudly and incessantly (literally from sunrise to sunset) until the bird is out of sight or...

Hello I’ve seen this anti bite harness for parrots ( I have two GCCs) and I wondered if they were really anti bite or this is just clickbait. It’s on eBay here’s the link...

Hey everyone I want to harness train my 2 green cheek conures but I don’t know what kind of brand is the best for conures that is not too expensive. I wondered if you could tell me what do you use and what’s your advice on choosing a harness and also if you know some things to avoid? Thank you...

Hi everyone, I am new here in this forum and also new in birds in general. A couple of months ago, a bird just flew inside my room. I don't have any knowledge about birds/parrots at that particular time but I decided to keep the bird while I am finding the owner. The parrot is a Meyer's Parrot...

Hi everyone. So I have a green cheek conure who is a little over a year old now. I’ve had her since April 2019. She’s adorable and sweet but can have her moody moments which I know is normal for GCC’s. She used to be super nice to anyone when she was younger but it’s as if once she turned 1, she...

Hello! I have a Green Cheek Conure, Ivan with a terrible aggression problem. He's 7 years old, and I have had him since he was 3 months old. He's always been gregarious and territorial, but the trouble really started when I got married. Ivan as it turns out, HATES my husband. I'm talking...

Hello All! I am looking for some advice. I recently got a Green Cheek Conure; I am his third home and he is under 1 year old. His first owner was a young girl who neglected him and left him up in her room all day alone since her mother did not like the noise (she was scared of him so never...

Hey everyone, I am trying to look for a new home for my two bonded Green Cheek conures ( preferably someone who already owns birds). I have had them for a year and now it has come to the point where my marriage is about to end because of them. My husband and in law’s absolutely hate them...

Hello y'all! I am a new parront living in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am new to Alaska, and especially to caring for a parrot in Alaska! I have a 2(ish) year old GCC named Mochi. I adopted her 3 weeks ago from a family in Anchorage that was moving to Florida and could not keep her. We just had her...

So this is my first post here. I have exhausted any ideas I have or anything I could research online so I decided it would probably be best to ask others! I have been training my one year old, greencheek conure, Gordi, to wear an aviator harness for almost 3 months now. At this point, my green...
