New Conure Momma

[jtaylor1594]

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and have found this site extremely helpful! I am a new momma to a 2 month old baby GCC. Just brought him home yesterday. So far he has been extremely reserved and in n out of napping all day(very fluffed) and has only nibbled on some food. He has not been opposed to me holding him, though I want to give him space to get used to his environment. I have never owned a GCC and was wondering what is normal behavior, eating, sleeping like, especially as a baby/new bird in our home. I'm probably a bit paranoid, but I cant help but think something could be wrong and wasn't sure what is normal. Does anyone have advice or tips to give our GCC the best home/health possible?
Thanks again!

Is your baby hand-feeding? 2 months seems awfully young to be away from mom.

Yeah, 2 months does seem a bit early. I took Sammy home at 4 months, by then he ate food with no problem and was very active.

You can offer the little tike baby food!

I agree I don't know about a bird that young.....in the future expect outgoing behavior and a take charge attitude that will make you subservient. Green cheeks are highly manipulative, I wouldn't be surprised if he's setting you up for the long con already.

2 months can be a bit young but maybe he was an early learner with food. the fact he has eaten some of his food in your sight is good, you may find he eats when you're not in the room, mine did that at first. I could hear him going at his seeds as soon as I left the room.

He's probably exhausted from the stress of the move, just go at his pace. If he wants to come say hi then let him, if he wants to chill out for a day or 2 then that's fine too
