green cheek

Hey, so I have a bit of a question. I have two GCC (a pair of siblings) that were born either January/February (I got them in May and was told they were about 3-4 months old). The one (yellow-side named Duckie) unfortunately injured her leg attempting to fly (wings were already clipped before I...

A month ago, one of my coworkers asked if I would take in her Green Cheek Conure since I was moving to dayshift and she is on nights. For the last month, I have stalked posts on here (we have managed to get him to eat SLIGHTLY better-- she had him eating a Walmart seed mix for cockatiels, we...

GCC GREEN CHEEK CONURE. 7.4.24

I know there's a bunch of threads here about this but I still would like some tips for my personal situation. I just got a 3 month old green cheek conure, it's only her second night home so I don't expect this to stop immediately. She's already very attached to me, she spends most of the day...

This is an incredibly difficult post to make, and it has taken years to come to this decision. I’ve posted in this forum multiple times requesting advice on if I’m the best home for my green cheek conure. I got Bree when I was 14 (currently 19) and I wasn’t able to truly grasp what I was...

Teeko is a Cinnamon Conure he was adopted from Pet Smart, he actually wasn't planned..lol. (just honesty) My wife and I walked up to Teeko, and it was love at first sight. He wasn't just ordinary..Teeko was special and, we could tell, he was alone, and he loved the attention. He was scraping...

I recently adopted a green cheek from pet smart, we fell in love with him from the start, and he is very loving we named him Teeko. Pet smart didnt have his age on the paperwork but id say he is somewhere around 5 to 7 months old. We bought him a smaller cage to ride comfortably in the car on...

Hello guys! I’m new to owning a conure, I’ve owned birds basically my whole life (cockatiels, lovebirds, budgies) so I have a little bit of understanding with these guys. I just got a 3 month old Green Cheek from a bird store about 3 days ago. He seems pretty good with hands and fingers being...

My green cheek conure toe got squished by chair casters wheel, What should i do, in my current time the vets are not available now(closed)

Bonjour, à tous! I'm looking into potentially getting myself a parrot some time in the coming year and was looking for some recommendations. I'd really like to have a very affectionate and cuddly bird that is not too big, but not too small. Noise doesn't bother me too much so long as it's not...

I got a 5 year old green cheek conure about 3 days ago and he seems to be having trouble sleeping. He’s in a large cage and i dim the lights slowly for him to go to sleep. once the lights are all the way off i still hear him climbing the bars of the cage and making small squawking sounds for a...

attempted a drawing of my green cheek. opinion? if mods need proof that I made this, I can provide it. don't know how strict the policies on art are here lol

Hello, first time posting here. My mother and I have a 8-year old green cheek conure (9 in November) that we've had since he was a baby. While he can sometimes be a bit bitey, the last week or so he's been increasingly aggressive. He'll bite both of us out of nowhere, and a few times he's drawn...

This is about a pair of green cheeks living with me. Yesterday I heard a newborn chick. Based on the received bits of advice, I let it be fed by parents. I could still hear the chick's sound at the end of the day before they go to sleep. But since this morning I haven't heard anything :( Opening...

Hello everyone! I'm new here but I am hoping I can get some insight from the wonderful bird owners here :) I am trying to get some second opinions on the weight of my GCC to see if she really is at a healthy weight. Her vet told me at our last visit in July 2021 that she needed to lose weight...

Cuddle time! I love this little guy soooo much!

Spoiled...not quite rotten, but definitely spoiled.

My YSGCC, Miles, enjoying watching the world go by from the front window. This was his third road trip.

The Issue: My green cheek has become extraordinarily clingy & he screams whenever he knows I'm home but out of sight. It's extremely high-pitched & can go on forever. I'm trying so so hard but it's not getting better, so I'm asking for help. - I know Conures are loud, I'm not expecting him to...

Kiwi likes having pictures taken.

Hey everyone, My 3m. GCC sneezes. I've been reading and it says that they occasionally sneeze to clear their nostrils. But frequent sneezing and the discharge of mucus is a cause for concern. Thankfully they're is no mucus and I really don't know how frequent is too frequent. What I have noticed...

Hi friends :o My boyfriend and I adopted a 13 week old Pineapple GCC on Saturday and she is such a sweet girl. She's very well behaved - loves to eat her pellets, loves nutriberries, and is getting slowly accustomed to eating fruits and veggies. I'm wondering if I should book a checkup for her...

Hi everyone, For a few years now, I've been stricken with a love for parrots. It started with Cockatiels, and has, more recently, spread to Conures and Quakers. I started a similar thread 2 years ago, but a lot has changed since then. With 2020 providing a lot of idle time to dedicate to...

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

Hi everyone! I am a feather mom of three. I have a green cheek and cinnamon conure and a budgie. My green cheek has always had light feather plucking issues that never fully go away. He gets better then goes right back to plucking. I’m spending quarantine with my parents and they live in WA...

This is Maebel, our green-cheek/pineapple mutation. https://i.imgur.com/Crvzk1W.jpg She was hatched in January, so she's definitely still a bab birb. I will preface this by saying I understand that GCCs are beaky birds. She is awesome! I'm a first-time bird owner, but well-studied, and my...

I have been spending a lot of time with my green cheek conure lately but for the past two days he/she is head bobbing and regurgitating food while sitting with me... does this mean he’s a male or is it something both genders do? He just turned 20 a few weeks ago and I haven’t really seen this...

Hello, I am writing because my green cheek seems to have injured her foot. She is only 2/12 months old, and currently weighs 63g. My wife says the bird was on the top of the cage as she was opening it ( it's a top open cage, that has a perch that braces the doors open.) and as she bent down...

Looking for some basic information regarding the difference in care for a pair of green cheeks who are clutchmates vs. a single green cheek. Size of cage, additional behavioral issues, training issues, additional equipment, etc. Had perused the forum, but couldn't identify a similar thread...

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...

Figured I'd start a thread for my OG, to share photos. I'll start by uploading some nice ones so far and keep it updated, along with Woody's. Pizza Roll is a Green Cheek Conure, Pineapple Color Morph. He is DNA sexed male. He was born June 2018.

Heya! You can call me Onion, and I'm still a relative newbie at parronting. I adopted my first parrot, my beloved Sun Conure named 'Chicken' from a rescue called PAEP, some ~3 years ago. Sadly, Chicken passed away just this last August. He was an older bird with, as I am coming to learn, some...

Hello!! My name is Tori, and Nova is my turquoise GCC is 3 months old as of today, and for the past few weeks we have gotten along very well :) Whenever I've had questions over the past two years regarding owning a bird, this website had always been the first to come up with exactly what I...

It's actually been a while since I got Nico but I realized I hadn't formally introduced him! He came from a private breeder called Whidbey Birds on Whidbey Island, WA. He's an approximately 3-4 month old Turquoise Green Cheeked Conure (DNA sexed male) and his favorite foods are apples, dried...

Hello, My GCC Cosmo is usually a very well behaved bird and is quiet whenever we are hanging out or she's playing with her toys, but any time she is in her cage she screams and screams unless I either let her out or whisper at her very quietly. The problem is that i live in an apartment and...

So I joined this site because I'm determined to do something about my mother-in-law's (I'll just call her mom) birds. She has 7 birds: 5 green-cheeked conures (The oldest is Snaps, his mate is Shy, and their three kids, the only one I remember the name of is Shadow), one sunny conure (Oscar)...

My GCC Patrick is young, only about a few months, but I’m scared he’s overeating and might get obese in the long run. I want to have a feeding schedule but I’m at school 4 days a week and nobody at my home is able to do one feeding during the day. Should I try a feeding schedule, or should I not...

Hello, just made an account to ask this question. So a few days ago I got a 6 week old hand fed green cheeked conure from a couple that couldn't keep them anymore. They told me that the bird was just about weaned, and that they only fed them a spoonful of formula three times a day(by spoon)...
