Hi
I am new to forum, I just brought home a baby green cheek conure, she is three months old, she has adjusted well, very cuddly and loving and has a very large cage. I wanted to know if I could introduce a crimson bellied baby in one month and they be kept together in the same cage. I live in a...
I recently brought 5 week old green cheek home to finish hand feeding.
The first few days while he was getting used to his new environment he was very quiet in and outside of his nesting box. He's now 7 weeks, in a large container with a smaller closed warm box inside, and a light that points...
He has only ever been around men, but has grown quite attached to me.
He nests in my hair, mocks all my noises, and even screeches when I'm not around.
He is a lot smaller than the average green cheek, and started out a a breeder.
When I first got him, I had his wings clipped at a local pet...
I've had my green cheeks for over a month now. I get my bird out everyday she comes out her cage fine now, but I can't do anything with her if I try and pet her she bites, she will sit on my hand but she constantly tries to get to my head then when I stop her or get her down she bites and holds...
Can someone please help, my green cheek is really aggressive when in her cage. She will put one foot on me then bite me really hard. Atm I take my hand away then n try again and eventually she does give me two feet but it takes like half hour? Once she is out she is generally fine unless I let...
So, my green cheek, Toots, started acting sick about a week and a half ago. At first I thought she had something contagious, like a cold, but she only acted lethargic for a day before she snapped out of it. Everything went back to normal for a few days, until during the night, she fell from her...
So Oliver has always screamed for me when I leave the room or come home from somewhere. This isn't much of an issue because the birds are upstairs and you can only sort of hear them when the door is closed. However in the mornings they wake me up with the screaming and I'd like to try to train...
So I have a breeding pair of GCC's and up until today I thought they were both male until I found two eggs in a nest box. I have two boxes in their aviary, a large and a smaller but deeper one. The male sits in the smaller box all the time, and sometimes the female during the night. Should I...
So I've been trying clicker training and she HATES the sound. It makes her really aggressive. I tried muffling it a lot but to no avail. I suppose I'll just use the word good or something but I really like how precise the clicker is. Anyways she bites when I put my hand in her vicinity and when...
Is this just a result of bad breeding? By which I mean straying from the 'norm' of what yellow sideds are known to look like. Or could it signify that he has a split? I'm pretty sure splits aren't usually 'visible' though. I did get him from someone who I suspect was a bird broker (way back...
Hi! I just recently came into possession of a Green Cheek Conure named Tico. At least that's what he responds to. We call him Tico Banderez. He is a rescue from a home where he was starting to bond with another bird, who was famous for drawing blood from kids younger than five. They didn't want...
Hello! I'm new to this forum but I've had my GCC Oliver for almost 4 years.
I got him the day before Halloween my Freshman year of High School and graduated in June! I even skipped Halloween that year because I just couldn't let him out of my sight. If you knew me you'd know dressing up in...
I am a new bird owner. My friend was no longer able to care for her 2 year old green cheek so I adopted him. She said he was very sweet and shy. I have had him for almost a week. I am able to have him walk on my arms and shoulders but he still bites me if I try to pet him, as well as if anyone...
Hi everyone! I have an adorable little green cheek that I brought home about 2 months ago. Ducky and I were instant friends from the moment I saw her. She loves to be with me and when I'm home, we eat together, watch tv together and when I'm doing things around the house like feeding the cat...
Hi,
Today is day 2 of being a new green cheek mommie. We just brought home our beautiful baby boy on Friday afternoon.
Loki is making a good transition from his cage at the nursery where he was born to his new home with us.
He was hatched in January of this year and the breeder has all her...
I am a total bird person. I've owned various birds all my life from age 8, when I was overcome with desire to own my own cockatiel. I've taken care of a variety of types including Pionus's and an Amazon. I am at college now, and have my own apartment, and decided to get a little green-cheek to...
