baby conure

Hello all! I recently adopted an 8 week old Mexican Green Conure, Marley. (I recently DNA tested them and will know their sex in about two weeks! For now I’ll refer to Marley as “she”.) We started off a bit rough as I believe that her breeder didn’t handle her frequently outside of feedings, but...

How can i tech my bird biting pressure? With my last bird it was easier to get him to understand as he got attached very quickly and wasnt able to fly when I first got him, so the shunning technique worked well. With my new baby, shes only pinchin a bit too hard when exploring my fingers. Shes...

Ive just picked up my new baby and she’s quite stressed with all the new moving. Is there any music i could play that might be able to help her relax?

I posted something not too long ago asking about my birds biting habits, but now im trying to figure out what my lil guy is trying to accomplish lol! hes a 6 month old pineapple conure named Tiago and whenever i walk into the room he’ll make these super cute and soft squawking noise and whenever...

i recently adopted a 6 month old pineapple conure and i havent been able to get him to stop biting so hard. Ive done lots of research and everything ive found has been if a bird is being aggressive. the only time hes been legitimately aggressive was when they took him out of his cage at the pet...

Hey everyone! I'm new here so I apologize for any mistakes. 🙏 I got a GCC a week ago, it is my first green cheek, and first not fully weaned bird I've got. He started eating seeds and solids around 10 days ago, breeder claims he's over a month old, I could say about 6-7weeks now. For the last...

Last Saturday I picked up my 8 week old, hand fed baby. Everything has been fine and normal, but I’ve noticed that the baby sometimes makes beeping or chirping noises and slightly moves his wings, this usually starts when he is cuddling under my chin. I don’t have much experience with young...

I’m about to go to vet tomorrow to check her up but I’m worried I couldn’t fall asleep, can somebody know what might this is? My conure is a 7 week old but she acts very normal & really loves to snuggle.

My conures tail is all torn and tattered. I’m not sure why. It doesn’t bother him at all. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? His beak is also kind of chipping I read that that’s normal. Do you think it’s connected at all? Thanks :) Btw its my first time adding photos not sure if it worked

I was wondering if birds have certain preferences such as hair color and human genders. I ask this because he does not like boys and men. Especially my dad and brother. He’s really mean to them. I didn’t think that birds could smell it so I don’t know what it is. He hates men and boys because my...

Hi! about 2 weeks ago i got a 7 month old Green Cheeked Conure called Kiwi. Kiwi was born with only one foot but i was told it doesn’t seem to bother him and i don’t think it does. From getting Kiwi he seems to be a bit off, i was told he was a sweet funny cuddly bird and as he is becoming more...

Hi guys! I'm new to the forum, and I'd like some advice. I've only ever had a couple parakeets (plus a LOT of chickens), but recently I've been considering adding a conure to the family. I've done my research and can make all necessary accommodations. However, as is often the case, a lot of...

Hi everybody, I wrote a thread a while ago regarding my 2 months old baby GCC Cookie. Long story short he was sold to me not completely weaned and I was even lied to on the stage his weaning was at. By the time I realised we were all happily stuck at home - gotta love quarantine. Stepped up the...

Hi all, My 8 month old female GCC, Groovy, died suddenly while I was out of town for 2 nights and my mother was caring for her. On Monday, I cleaned all of her cages with and extremely low bleach solution before I left and she had been with me most of the day I had left (didn't leave the house...

Hello, so I have a 5 month old baby Green Cheek Conure and he is very hyper. Sometimes I hear him at 10:00 at night playing in the dark and running around, I was just curious if there is any way that I can calm him down before bedtime? I am afraid he isn't getting enough sleep and making him...

This is our 4 month old Yellow-Sided Green Cheek Conure! We need a little help naming him....The following are some ideas: Cheeto Kevin Durant Kobe Bryant Calcifer Little Mac All suggestions are welcome!

Hello! I am the proud new Mommy of 4 month old Pancake! :gcc: He came home yesterday! I have decided to seek out a parrot forum in order to learn how to better handle and train my little guy. For years I owned a curmudgeonly Yellow Nape whom I loved dearly, but despite all our best efforts...

Hello! 2 weeks ago we adopted a 12 week old hand reared baby green cheeked conure. We did our reading beforehand, so knew what we were getting ourselves into, but our little feathered friend will not stop screaming, and this is really taking its toll on us. When we are in the room with him, he...

Hi all, I am Vicky and my bird is Bert. He is a 3 month old green cheek conure. We've only been "together" for about 10 days but everything is going great so far! He's a little nippy but I understand I need to work more with him and it will probably go away as he gets older. He seems to trust...

Recently got my Jenday Conure boy, Tempest, from a parrot specialty store. They claimed he was handfed, and I do believe he was, but I'm wondering if he was force weaned. He hatched May 3rd, and was considered weaned on July 16th, that seems a little quick. I feel like I see most Jendays weaning...

So, I decided to get another GCC. I already have a pineapple named Shado whom I love very much, but I think we could both use another companion. I don't know if Shado is a boy or girl, unfortunately, I was too cheap to do the DNA test when I got her (I say her) a year ago. She is almost 2 years...

I recently bought a sun conure from a private breeder. Tutti, my sun conure, is 3 months old so the seller gave me the baby food that I mix with warm water. But ever since I bought Tutti, he's been sneezing. I've had him for 5 days, and he sneezes on a daily basis, a few times in the morning...

In 6-8 weeks I will be bringing home my baby Sun Conure, who will be weaned completely. The breeder is picky about when they go home :). He's hand fed and I've been stopping by the breeders every other day to interact with him and the other (I have a choice of 2) A few questions about helping...

I just adopted my first [green cheeked] conure yesterday! :green2: Its name is Guac (guacamole), and I already love him so much! I got lots of questions though, so if you know the answer to any of my questions, please help me out! :) 1. Guac seems to be grooming himself a lot... is that normal...

I have a baby Sun Conure. He is about 7-8 months old. His scream is really bad. It's gotten that bad that my partner is considering rehoming him. And I can't have that. This bird is my baby. When we got him he was taking the place of our green cheek so we were awear the noise levels would go up...

Hi. My partner and I have a baby sun conure. He is almost one. We got him because out 18 month old Green Cheeck sadly died. When we got Fred, our sunny, he chose me and from then on has been my bird. He still loves his daddy but is very much a mummys boy. My partner really wants another green...

Just brought the new Sun Conure recruits home last night! About 2 weeks old (Could be mistaken, as I've never had baby Sun Conures in the past. These guys are so adorable :D It's been a while since I hand fed (Used to be my profession) But its like riding a bicycle it seems, came back...

Hi, I bought KEDDY (my first ever parrot) last week, he was 3 weeks old then. Seller told me to feed him 15 ml three times a day. Things went smooth for 5 days, then I thought as he is growing he probably needs more food so I contacted the seller again to confirm and he told me to start giving...

:rainbow1:Hi Folks, I have a young pineapple Conure I got from a licensed breeder. The bird is about 10-11 weeks and fully weaned. She lets you hold her and will not bite but I think she is nervous. Ive left her alone in her cage after briefly handling her and only used vocalizations to get...

Carlos is only 8 weeks old and has been dealt a horrible hand in his short life. I had went to a breeder to see some conures, only to look and not to buy. The breeder's house was filthy, he took me to his laundry room where I seen a small canary sized cage, inside was a little GCC. The man...
