conure

Hi i have a green cheek conure he(we dont know the gender i just assume a bit lol) is about 10-11 months and he is a very social guy he likes new people (and he loves to bite them a lil bit) and he loves to interact with everyone around the house at least one time a day but suddenly about 3-4...

Hello, A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I adopted another conure. We already had one conure by the name of Reggae who is 8 months old. The other conure we got (gender is unknown but we refer to her as she) was just weaned before we took her home, she is two months. We kept them in separate...

I just got my 2 year old male GCC, Biscuit, a few days ago. He likes to sit on my shoulder and lets me pet him and steps up without biting me, however when on my shoulder while he preens my face he sometimes bites my cheek or lip hard or my ear. I tell him NO firmly then put him back on his...

Hi I just got my Nanday Conure. He has not been weaned yet. I was told by the bird shop to feed him formula 3 times a day 9am, 2pm and 7pm. Just want to make sure this is right because I had a scare today he got really puffy was bopping his head and his wings were all droopy. But once I fed him...

I recently got a green cheek conure at the end of June. He was born 4/3/24. I also have a cat and 2 dogs. I recently found a flea on my cat. While I treated him, my concern is that some have gotten into the carpet. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the carpet spray from Skouts Honor. The...

Hi all. New to the forum. My three year old green cheek conure started licking the bottom of her water bowl today. She got bored of it after a few minutes and moved on to her other toys. She’s not messing with any other metal in her cage and she’s a generally weird bird. Any reason for concern?

Hello so Zazu and me have been doing great hes tamed and is used to my hands now,i still haven't gotten him to step up,but now worries there's progress he lets me touch the top of his head and belly and when i do it he closes his eyes like he is enjoying it, now i have questions about the food...

Help me tame my Green cheek conure named Zazu, he's 2 months old and i got him yesterday, I have put my hand twice inside the cage in a full day both times my hand was inside for 10 mins, he has gotten used to my hand and wont run away unless i make sudden movement or i move fast toward him, he...

Ive been doing my best to teach her the biting pressure stuffs, but its kinda going in circles cause when she seems interested in exploring my fingers i either flinch over nothin, or flinch cause of biting, which in turn scares her and makes her even more cautious. Its hard to do the shunning...

I got my Pineapple Conure back in March of 2024 and he was never an aggressive bird. In the last month or so my conure has started to develop a habit for biting hands when trying to pick him up whether its out of his cage or off of my shoulder. Any other time he doesn't bite. I received him with...

Brought this sweet baby home a few days ago. Shes super lively, adventurous and curious about everything. She will immediately go and explore any new thing that is put in, and around her cage. I want to start getting her used to my hands but i dont know what the best way to do it would be. Its...

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’ve had my Pearly Conure, Phil, for 3 years, but recently finished school and have been home less due to work. To ensure Phil isn’t alone, I’ve decided to get a second bird. Unfortunately, my local options are quite limited. The only nearby rescue within 150 km is very selective about who they...

GCC GREEN CHEEK CONURE 7.4.24

Desperately looking for a kind soul to take in my two babies while I have to go away for a awhile. I will pay a generous amount so both are taken care of and as well to the individual who takes them on. Please contact me if interested. I live in Virginia, Chesterfield.

I have a conure, he is very young, I’ve had him less than a year. I know conures are bitey and nibbly by nature, and his normal bites are pretty hard, but I’m used to them and I’m okay with them. He respects me, and you could say I’m his favourite. The issue is my mom. He bites her really really...

Hello! Eddie is wonderful, he is very affectionate with us and is doing quite well. One problem we have is that he started to bite REALLY hard! I approached this problem a bit badly because I would put him in his cage whenever he was being bad, he really dislikes my brother and bites him...

So, it started about 10 days ago, perfectly healthy looking feathers started looking rough a bit too fast. In a couple days they looked chopped up and I was wondering what was going on when around day 5 I finally caught him preening his shoulders/wings as far as he can reach and actually biting...

Hi guys! I recently adopted a linnie who I've named Limbo for how low she gets when napping or asking for scritches haha. She's been with us 5 days now! My bf and I drove out of state to adopt her from a kind Petsmart employee who took her in after someone abandoned her at the store. The man...

Hello. Recently I noticed Eddie has a little "bump" on his right nostril. I'm wondering if this is just his beak growing, I mean it doesn't look red or anything, simply his left side is lying flat on the beak but the right isn't Has anyone seen this before? I don't want to overworry because he...

So far I've been using vinegar to clean up poops and stuff but I wanted to know if there is a cleaning brand out there specifically for birds. Essentially bird safe Lysol (because Lysol is not safe)

Ellie is starting to get a little bothered by her ID band on her foot. i'd personally like to keep it on her in the case that she flies away, but I also want her to be comfortable and not irritated.

I've had Ellie for three weeks now and she's five, almost six months old. She does this thing whenever I set her on her playset she calls out for me so I walk over to her and she straight up nips at me? it's never a bite bite but it's a firm nibble. I always make sure to read her body language...

Roughly 11 weeks ago, my Male Conure passed away. Not long before his departure, I recall him mating with my female conure. Today, she has laid an egg. While I know laying unfertilized eggs isn't uncommon, is there a chance that these might be fertilized? I'm curious about the possibilities...

Hello, I was looking for resources or anyone in the Cleveland Ohio area that has been looking to own a Conure for a while. My ex (right before they dumped me) bought me a parrot as a surprise gift when they knew I was looking to join the Air Force in 6 months, I feel really guilty about this...

Hello 👋🏻 Unfortunately ringworm has come to visit my house. My bird seems fine but I am worried about her. Ive looked online but I can not seem to find good awnsers. I'm concerned that if my she were to contract ringworm I would not know until it would be to late. I am unsure if she is allowed...

Helloo, I have some questions First one is about poop xd. I wanted to ask if parrot poops are usually big in the morning. Eddie's first poop is usually the largest one of the day. Idk if this is normal or not. His poops get smaller throuought the day, and wary in liquid depending on when he...

Eddie learnt a few tricks but the funniest by far is his wave. For me personally it's the trickiest one to teach a parrot and I think I was so excited when he did it finally that I started giving him the treats. But now he has it down and it is fun but it's not quite a wave. He positions his...

bothers me to get up the whole morning and then when I DO he falls asleep on my bed

Hi, I just want to ask about feel color Eddie is a yellow sided turquoise, and his feet look a bit pale greyish, his nails are also darker. The underneath part of his feet looks natural (light and pinkish) I know regular turquoise conures have blackish feet, but idk much about the yellow sided...

Hi! I need some foraging tips. I started target training, and some tricks like spin and wave and those are still a work in progress, but he is a really fast learner. He is still very young so I thought I'd teach him some tricks and recall training first, and then move on to foraging. But I...

Hello 👋🏻 I have a 5 year old Sun Conure. I have a 3 day vacation starting this Tuesday. The person who was meant to take care of my bird became very ill. I have run out of people to ask to take care of her. My next option is boarding. Does anyone have any input on the experience of boarding a bird?

Hello everyone! So my son went off to college and left me with 4 Conures. Over the past month (only through researching) I've noticed them having nesting behavior. They have a nesting box, which for a little over a week, all 4 have spent the majority of their time inside. 2 days ago I found an...

I went to the vet today with Eddie and the doctor said he was all good. She clipped his nails a tiny bit and he was so brave! He was very friendly and flew on top of her head :D. She answered some questions I had and reassured me that it's all good. I am collecting stool samples and they will do...

My conure loves bathing, but he needs water to come down like a faucet, and something with water below it like a lil’ bath. Im not sure if there are any ones like that, that are recommended so I thought id ask here. (Attached is Tiago after a bath🤭)

Hellooo. Today I woke up and let Eddie out of his cage, and he seems a bit overstimulated?? IDK if thats the reason but we won't stop flicking his wings (I managed to capture some of it, but he does it pretty frequently. Every slight movement I make is accompanied by wing flicking. He doesn't...

Hello once again! So as I said in my previous post we got a new baby bird (he is approximately 2 months old), and as it was with our beloved Cosmo, so it is with Edgar - quite a challenge. I dont remember if Cosmo was this bitey but Edgar sure is. As I learned all birds bite a little as...

Hello, it's been some time since I posted here! We finally got a new baby birb. His name is Eddie (Edgar) and he is so cute. While me and my family are a lot safer now around the new bird and they've encouraged me not to blame myself for Cosmo passing away, I AM STILL SO SCARED. Maybe I am...
