conure

Hello all! I recently got a green cheek from a breeder about 2 weeks ago. I named him Charlie and he is absolutely precious and I love him. He acclimated very quickly (on the second day he wanted out of his cage and wanted to hang out.) We have quickly bonded and I think this is because I hand...

Hello! My husband and I just got our first Conure about a month ago. She's a Black Capped Conure and her name is Sage. We got her from a specialty bird store, so she was hand fed and very friendly. She's 5 months old now. She'll step up (but I don't think she really knows the command), I haven't...

Hello all, I am interested in changing cages for my sun conure. I currently have a 6 foot tall, by 2 and half standing cage that takes up alot of space in my dining room and Lenny only uses the top 2 feet at any giving time. I want to put a bigger dining table and was thinking of getting a...

Hello, My GCC Cosmo is usually a very well behaved bird and is quiet whenever we are hanging out or she's playing with her toys, but any time she is in her cage she screams and screams unless I either let her out or whisper at her very quietly. The problem is that i live in an apartment and...

I’ve had Pauly, my green cheek for about a month now, and for the past few days he’s been acting like this. Usually I’d come home from work, take him out of the cage, maybe cut up some fruits for him, let him sit with me as I complete my assignments, but the past few days he’s been acting like...

hello! i literally just picked up my bird from the pet store and put him in his cage. i got a pineapple green cheek conure and he is beautiful and lovely and i decided to name them Oswin. i decorated the cage filled up their water bowl and food bowl and he was a bit nervous when he got in his...

so ferris (my gcc) is about seven months old, i’ve had him for five or six of those months. i try to have him out as much as i can but while i’m at school he has to stay in his cage as we have two cats and if he’s left out of his cage he loves to run around the door for ages, getting their...

Hey guys I’ve just picked up a 5 week old sun conure from a trusted breeder. I’ve owned conures in the last, green cheek, and another sun. Both I’ve got as babies and handfed myself. Sadly both I had to give away because I was still living in an apartment and didn’t have the dedicated time as I...

The conure was playing on top of her cage. Located on top this cage was a metal washer and nut that had came loose from her jungle gym. She was found playing around with the nut that was loose. However, when I went to screw the nut back on the washer was missing. Furthermore, She managed...

Hi All, I have a 10 week old Conure and he doesn't appear to be liking his cage. I have plenty of toys and stimulus in the cage itself along with plenty of water and food, but as soon as I put him back in his cage (after having something to eat) he just does laps of the floor until someone lets...

I've had my conure for a year and he's a little under two now. I feed him totally organic food and give him a little bit of fruits and veggies every day it's been the same routine for a year. I don't own any teflon, I don't wear any perfumes and I never burn candles. He seemed totally absolutely...

Hello! So recently my boyfriend and I have been getting some new noises out of Zelda (our GCC), and trying to figure out what they mean. One noise in particular that she’s done since we got her a few weeks ago is the low “quacking” noise. She does it all the time. I decided to look it up to...

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a parrot to be my lifelong friend, I've owned and bred budgies many years ago but wanted something with a little more potential for human interaction/affection & one I can train. From my research I think electus & conures suit the best. I love personality in a bird and...

I am looking into getting a bird, I've done an unimaginable amount of research, I have always wanted a bigger bird since I was young, my top ones are Conures, African Grey, and Cockatoo but deciding factor, I work a 9-5 job at a vet 5 days a week with weekends being completely free. Is that too...

I bought my first bird, a one year old maroon Bellied Conure on Boxing Day after close to a year of research on birds. I thought I as well prepared and was really excited, however now I have him, I’m terrified of him, he bites hard and often breaking skin 7/10 times and has managed to almost...

I think I'm calling it. Kermit is hitting puberty. She'll be 2 sometime in May. This last week, she's been a proper teenager. I've been not coming home a few nights because of finals week at school, but my parents have been taking care of her for me. Still, this evidently upset her, and she's...

I have a Pineapple Cheek Conure who is 2 years old. She is very friendly and loves cuddles and talks A LOT (like A LOT). But sometimes, she just randomly attacks and bites really hard. It's starting to become a major problem because I become too afraid to take her out of her cage sometimes...

We've had our conures Charlie and kiwi for almost three years. We weren't planning on getting a larger bird anytime soon but my cousins didn't have the time for their cockatoo Nigel because of work and their kids so they sold her to us. We've had Nigel since last Monday on the 20th. Since we've...

Its a bit of a strange question, My pearly conure Link (not DNA tested) is very very friendly with me, we spend almost every moment together. Doesn't bite, is potty trained, does a few tricks and says a few words. In the last month hes become VERY affectionate to visitors. Like completely out...

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...

Hey, my Conure Kiwi looks like he's feather plucking, but I didn't know if he was feather plucking or not. I went online and did research, it seems like he's just molting and he sometimes will pull some feathers out by accident or that's just part of his preening activities. Anyways, I decided I...

Hey everybody!! I'm new here, and I have a question. So I've owned my conure, Maxxie, for about 3 months I want to say, and being a senior in highschool, I'm wondering if there are any ways y'all out figured out a way to have your bird out will you while you are working, or doing homework lol...

I have a 8 month old sun conure, I’ve had him for 5 months now and although he’s been loud at times it hasn’t ever been a problem because I had a ton of time to spend with him, as I just graduated in June and when he’s with me he’s completely quiet. I have just gotten a job and my parents have...

So I joined this site because I'm determined to do something about my mother-in-law's (I'll just call her mom) birds. She has 7 birds: 5 green-cheeked conures (The oldest is Snaps, his mate is Shy, and their three kids, the only one I remember the name of is Shadow), one sunny conure (Oscar)...

Hello, My name is Shikani and from Australia! I love birds and a few years back had a conure (but he sadly passed away), I'm finally ready for another companion now, and have found a beautiful hand raised green cheek conure! I'm so excited, and decided to join this community just to better my...

I just took my bird Oscar into the shower for the first time and something interesting happened: while under the droplets, she stood very still and closed her eyes. She also let me touch her, which she never does. For a moment I was worried and then remembered that a GCC I follow on Instagram...

Okay this is going to be a long story. I (or rather my baby bird) just had the most horrifying experience today. My fairly idiotic pearly conure decided to take the front door head on. Quite literally. At first i wasn't all that concerned since this was probably the 394th time this sort of...

Mochi the green cheek conure likes to hold his beak and lick his feet when he's on his back.

Hello everyone! I'm a new member of the parrotforums website, but I've been lurking this site for a couple of years now. I've started wanting a bird for a companion about five years ago from now, but I didn't have the opportunity to have one until I received one for Christmas just last year as...

After a bath today I discovered that one of my Conure's wings has a bare patch hidden under a primary feathers. The patch is on the top of the right wing, where the first 2 primary feathers are. She has been preening small down feathers but mostly on her chest. Is this a natural part of her...

I have two conures a brown throat named Charlie and a pine apple green cheek named kiwi. We've had Charlie first since April of 2015 the lady at the local pet store said some lady brought charlie in because she didn't want the bird anymore and that Charlie was three or four years old he's about...

Hello all, this is my first post as I am a prospective "parront." While I have plans to visit the two bird adoption agencies in my area, they have a notoriously bad reputation for taking deposits and leaving interested adopters in the dark for several weeks, and taking upwards of six months to...

Hello, just made an account to ask this question. So a few days ago I got a 6 week old hand fed green cheeked conure from a couple that couldn't keep them anymore. They told me that the bird was just about weaned, and that they only fed them a spoonful of formula three times a day(by spoon)...

Hi guys! Haven't posted in a while. So I adopted my 2 year old sun conure, Merri, about a month ago. She is warming up perfectly to me. We do everything together. However, lately she's been doing this weird hissing thing at me. Every time I go and scratch her head, she will enjoy it! She even...

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...

I recently adopted a conure from someone. The bird has no problem with new environments and is very calm and quiet. She loves cuddles and wants them 24/7 , however she bites me almost every time she cuddles me. I go to change her water and I get bitten. She wants the contact, she just wants her...

Hello everyone. I'm sure you remember me from the past posts about my rescue budgie Snowball. Great news! He's doing really well! I actually got him to step up for me on Friday (he was a little nervous, I don't blame him, but he knows I won't hurt him so progress has officially been made). He's...

Hello, My conure has been doing a weird fast, paced head bob. She'll stick her head up and vigorously jolt it up and down, almost like she's trying to dislodge something stuck in her crop. She'll also do the same motion on the corner of perches sometimes. This looks like she's trying to...

My 4 month old Pineapple GCC has been acting strange lately. She grabs my finger with her beak and puts either one or both of her feet on it, and fluffs up a bit and wags her tail. Does this mean she is trying to mate with me? The breeder DNA sex'd her female, but I'm not convinced she isnt a...
