green cheeck conure

I brought Gizmo home a few days ago. He belonged to my best friend who tragically lost her battle with cancer late Friday night/Saturday morning. Gizmo has been in my apartment for almost a week now. He has taken to obsessively picking at my fingers and the skin around my fingernails. I used...

Hi everyone, i have two green check conures that I got two years ago. since then I have been working with them and training them every single day, by now they know many tricks and games but they still don’t seem bonded to me... the male, Loki is jumpy and afraid of any new objects... he bites...

Hi everyone! I've two funny and lovely green cheeks.. The male (J.) has 5 years old, and the female (A.) almost 3. This is the problem: during the night the male goes to the bottom of the cage.. spending his time walking and walking and making confetti with the newspaper (I use newspaper...

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get my conure’s flight suit on. Anytime I try to grab her with my fingers on her cheekbones so she doesn’t bite me she gives me hell and it makes it impossible to get the flight suit on. The one time I did get it on her she couldn’t walk properly in it and her feet kept going...

Hi all, I'd like all your opinions. I'm interested in getting a Green-cheek Conure or Senegal Parrot. I have owned birds before, a Sun Conure and an African Grey who unfortunately I had to give up when I moved here (to Ireland) from South Africa. I gave them to a bird sanctuary with huge...

Hi all! My boyfriend didn't listen to me and I am currently freaking out. He cooked with a non stick Pan. He put my 4 month old green cheek conure in the bedroom (smallish apartment) during cooking and for 40 minutes after. I am panicking. Is it likely that my bird Will get sick and die?!!! :(

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a parrot to be my lifelong friend, I've owned and bred budgies many years ago but wanted something with a little more potential for human interaction/affection & one I can train. From my research I think electus & conures suit the best. I love personality in a bird and...

My Green Cheek Conure Drago almost grabbed a mini Starburst but I took it from him, so that got me thinking if it would be harmful to him if he ate it?

Hello everyone! So just a quick update - Zelda is already doing much better with her biting. I started off by giving her a treat every time she nibbled softly (I tried to avoid her nibbling my hand at all yesterday), and I would put her down on the floor or ignore her each time she nibbled hard...

Hello all! My boyfriend purchased a Green Cheek Conure (now named Zelda) for me from a local pet store on December 23rd (Saturday). She is 7 months old, and really such a sweet bird. She loves to sleep in my pocket and cuddle up anywhere that's warm and cozy. We were advised by the staff that...

My GCC (green cheek conure) recently ran out of food so of course I got more, but it was a different brand.(can’t remember brand but the description of what birds it was for fit my GCC) now he is being very picky so I’m worried he will starve from being too picky. Am I being to dramatic or will...

Hello! I am the proud new Mommy of 4 month old Pancake! :gcc: He came home yesterday! I have decided to seek out a parrot forum in order to learn how to better handle and train my little guy. For years I owned a curmudgeonly Yellow Nape whom I loved dearly, but despite all our best efforts...

I have a green cheek conure and a crimson bellied conure sharing the same cage. I've had them for about 4 years and they have shared a cage. Now I am used to being bitten here and there by my birds (anything with a mouth can bite). So my green cheek has been showing aggression over time but I...

Hi All, I am new to this forum and hope to make some friends. :) I am a 27 y.o. and just adopted a baby Green Cheek Conure [9 weeks old] who seamlessly became a part of our small family. He actually makes us feel as a complete family. Had troubles sleeping the past two days just because I am...

Hey everyone, i'm new to this site and the world of parrots (more of a reptile person myself), and was wondering if I could get a couple of things cleared up. I'm hoping to adopt a male green cheek sometime in the future, they seem like the type of bird that fits well with my lifestyle, ie...

About a week ago my boyfriend rolled onto our Green Cheek Conure, Louie, in his sleep (we think). Jordan immediately woke up and spooked Louie causing him to fly into a door nearby. The resulting injuries of these two traumas were as follows: blood from nose and mouth, red and injured right eye...

Shamrock is a young (4 no more than 6?) green cheek conure. I'm usually the only one who handles her. A few years ago she flew at my sister, it didn't look aggressive but was trying to get a grip, unfortunately she was trying to on her head. Well my sister was pretty much done with her since...

So i've had my gcc boomer for about 2-3 years now and when i got him as a baby his wings had been clipped. i personally believe that birds should be able to fly. so i let them grow back and for a bit he was unsure of flying and would like to walk everywhere instead but eventually he would just...

My green cheek somehow managed to find a blue crayon. I haven't found the crayon itself, but she definitey chewed on a blue one because her beak is blue and she smells like crayons. I doubt she actually ate it, but she definitely chewed it. I know crayons are non toxic since they are made for...

I've had my pineapple green cheek, Shado, for over a year now, and soon I'm bringing home a new cinnamon green cheek, Charlotte. She's a baby, so I had to wait for her to be weaned, thankfully, she should be able to come home in a week or so. I've heard some people say to quarantine Charlotte...
