My Charlie is a green cheek conure

[kimmiclerke]

I have a green cheek conure Charlie and he is looking a little shabby and seems to bite more than usual ... He is on fruit and pellets and I get him out all the time and he climbs up my arms and legs and behind my head but if I try to use my hands too much then he gets snappy at me ... Is it time for moulting here in Australia??? Just worried about losing my snuggle friend

Charlie is very pretty. I know BB is under a heavy Molt right now.

Howdy,
Take a read on this.

My wife's Bongo was a monster to everyone but her. Just a few changes in my attitude turned this little guy around!

What a cutie! I do know this time of year all my birds can get a little testy. The link that Flboy provided should be helpful!

Welcome Kimmi and Charlie

If Charlie enjoys baths or showers, that helps a little with comfort during a molt. Even if he's not molting, their feathers can get dirty and look shabby if they haven't bathed in awhile.

He is very handsome! And looks quite happy on your shoulder.
