Hi Guys,
We've got ourselves a green check conure ( cinnamon mutation i guess)
Today is his 3rd day with us, and so far he's truly lovely ( 8 weeks old according to the seller)
He loves cuddles - does not seem to like the idea of him/her needing to go into cage as he tries everything he can to get out back to my chest to cuddle up and sleep I'd love him loose around my house and most of the time I let him sit on me but have really hard time at night putting him back in the cage - any tips?!
He/she is very friendly loves cuddles and head rubs and prefers also a hand on him whilst he's on my chest sleeping, demanding for rubs by chirping
I have IRN's when they scream they do trigger him to fly around the house, also he keeps landing on my head rather then hands - any way to train him to stop? because he has quite sharp nails, and its quite a work getting him out of my hair afterwards
What size cage would be suggested for a green cheek conure?
How old does he have to be for us to start training?
Any suggestions of treats ? I've read sprouts and bee pollen is really good for the little ones, is this true?
Also, is there a way to sex the bird at all? thinking of a name but having hard time deciding without knowing if its a she or he
My IRN's have given me completely different experience so all of this feels very new
