Hello All. I have 3 conures (Jenday, Sun and green cheek). When I got my sun he was a bit hard to handle but I spent so much time with him and now i can't say enough good things about him. He's not perfect but he's grown up quite a bit.
My daughter recently brought home a green cheek and he's been with us for a couple of months. He bites out of nowhere. When I go to feed him he's like a cling on. He just attacks your hands. When training him to step up he like just clings on to your hands and doesn't let go. It's a fight just to get him off. His bite is worse than my big Jenday's bite. I even have him watch while I train the sun but when it's his turn he's just aggressive. I don't think that he's aggressive on purpose. I think he wasn't taught any manners before coming to our home. He rips treats out of your hand, etc.
Hasn't this bird ever heard the saying, "don't bite the hand that feeds ya"? lol
