conure

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...

I am planning on going home for Thanksgiving. I will be there for 3 days, flying to and from for 2 of them. The flight is only an hour. I was wondering if I should bring my Conure. She will have been with me for 2 weeks before this flight. I don't want to leave her at home as no-one will be...

Hello! My Pearly Conure Lucky is constantly chewing on his tail. Whenever he is in his cage, if he isn't playing, eating or drinking he's chewing on his tail feathers. At first, i thought it was just a little accident he may have had when i wasn't looking but over time it has evolved into...

I moved back to AZ from KY at the end of last year. Over the past several months (since at least June), I noticed that my conure Nibbler has had mainly down feathers showing on her chest (she started losing those feathers shortly after the move but figured it to be partially stress related from...

Hi, So my little green cheeks conure jumped on my cat yesterday and it was so quick my cat caught him... I checked him and couldn't see any marks or anything . It was too late to go to the vet here so I waited, and this morning he was in a bad shape, couldn't eat and he seemed tired so...

Hi again all! I am finally able to get my Green Cheek Conure! She will be named my precious little "Noellah" but before then Ive been working like crazy to make sure my living space is as safe as can be! Ive already removed the few toxic/dangerous things found HERE and HERE from my home, and...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this community. I have recently bought myself a house, and found myself feeling like something was just missing in my life. Everything clicked into place when I saw the mourning dove nesting in the gutter (her babies have hatched and have gotten to the flying stage...

Hi! So I adopted my 2 year old sun conure a little over a week ago. She has quickly warmed up to me and loves getting cuddled and talked to. She seems so much happier. I had an appt with the vet yesterday and he said she is as healthy as can be! However I'm having a problem. I've been teaching...

Hi all. Exactly a week ago my partner and I picked up our new Green Cheek Conure - Benji. We are first time parrot owners and would like to express our concerns and hopefully find some advice to what we are doing right or wrong. Benji is 4 months old and we got him from a couple that...

So I adopted my sun conure, Marigold about 3 days ago. She was very nervous at first but has quickly warmed up to me. The problem is her previous owner did not teach her to step up. Instead, everytime I reach in and say "step up" she puts her head down so I can scratch her head and I do. So my...

I'm thinking about getting a conure, but with forums I've read, some say it needs tons of attention. Others say they can work 40 hours a week and their little conure is happy as ever. I just dont want my bird to feel lonely or bored! I have school for 7 hours a day and I'm wondering if that's...

So I just adopted my two year old sun conure named Merri from a friend. There she was given fresh food and water but was given lots of human interaction time.. She has picked up a few words here and there and seems very friendly. She would step up and give kisses. My friends had to move so I...

Hello! Recently purchased a hand reared GCC. He's 6 months old. He's very friendly, lets us stroke him and takes food from us without biting. Today he stepped onto my hand, on his own accord, while I was stroking him! I was very pleased until he started chewing my finger :(. I put him back on...

I've had my conure Oscar for about a month now, so I think it's time to start getting serious about training. However, she's an older bird (at least 15), so I'm worried her habits will be a bit harder to break. The only major issue she has is, as her owner said on her surrender papers, she's...

Hi all, I've really been in the mood to dye the ends of my hair a nice shade of pastel purple. I only have a year before I join the professional world, and I'd really like to take advantage of getting away with it while I can. I've been trying to research how safe this would be around my...

My pineapple Green Cheek starting making an odd sound, as if he's trying to clear his sinuses, about a month ago. I noticed it after sharing some peanut butter (natural, no added sugar) one morning, and thought he might just be trying to clear any remnants stuck to his upper mandible. No more...

Hi! So I recently adopted a 4-month old Green cheek conure named Mango. He belonged to my friend but she couldn't take care of him so I took him in. The problem is, I need to travel to Jordan for 4 months and I want to take him with me. I booked for the 16th of August which is a little over 2...

Location: Los Angeles, California area (Ventura) This full setup was for a green-cheeked conure. She was sweet, alas she has gone. :green: The following would cost a couple thousand dollars new. Includes: stainless steel cage - opens top and side; with wheels; 36"x26"x17" movable stand - with...

Hi all! I have a GCC who was sold as a yellow-sided mutation. However, he has red spots on his shoulders and after about a year, his yellow is turning green after his first molt! I'd love to know what hybrid you all think he might be! Pearly? Fiery-shouldered? Included a picture for reference :)

I did some searches to see if this isn't a subject beaten to death but nothing came up so I'm going to go ahead and post. Also sorry but this post was longer than intended. I have a Cinnamon Green cheek Conure that I've had about a year and a half and he's about two years old. When I first...

Hi all, I've received a lot of great training advice from this forum! My very naughty GCC, Dilly, seems to be making improvement (slowly but surely). This though is a video of Dilly being naughty: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dOoGbYIoeDW90Uo73 She does this a lot... She will find a hiding place and...

Hi all, I recently adopted a 2 year old green cheek conure (Dilly) and an adult lovebird (Baby) of an unknown age. I love them dearly, but the conure has a biting problem. She acts generally friendly when she is not being held. She often asks to be let out of the cage and asks to for me to...

Hello all, My name is Devin. Im from springfield Mo. I recently lost my Amazon named Willy. I miss him dearly. Not able to afford a new Amazon I recently purchased a baby half moon conure and am already in love with the silly thing. my new babies name is Taquito. He is already starting to talk...

Hello everyone! This is Mango, our Jenday Conure. We've had him for about 2 years, and he is a really nice bird to his favorite members of the family. I'm not sure about his or her gender yet, but I plan on testing sometime in the future! :orange:

We had just brought in a 12 week old GC Conure yesterday from a person that had an accidental few eggs they ended up raising. It was the sweetest thing right off the bat. It would lick you any chance it got and loved to hide right under my ponytail and even slept there a couple times since...

Hello! I'm a new owner, and I've recently gotten my first bird. She's a pineapple green cheek conure and was hatched on April 1st. I met her before buying her and she was very curious and bubbly. The first few days home with me she was very sweet. When I'd take her out she would be calm and...

Hello all! My name is Chanelle. Me and my boyfriend picked up our 6 week old Green Cheek Conure yesterday, and even though we did research for almost a year beforehand, I'm finding myself asking a lot of questions. Raffi is still being hand fed, although he's not eating the same way that I...

Hi! I adopted Kiwi my GCC three days ago. He is about 4 months old. I'm worried that he may be sick. Since I am a new parrot owner, I am unfamiliar with the signs. Kiwi plays, eats and poos normally. He loves to check out what I'm eating and is very curious. But, when I seem to put him down in...

Hi! So I adopted a green cheek conure two days ago. He is about 4 months old and his name is Kiwi. He goes to bed at 11 pm and wake so up at 11 am so he is getting enough hours. However, I share my aprtment with my roommate and he isn't constantly going in and out of his room. He makes no loud...

This is Fiji my Turquoise GCC :)

I just bought a cage fo my green cheeck but I dont know if I made the right decision. Is this cage too big for them! Can they hurt in a cage that might not be adequate for small birds? Thank you

I own this one male pineapple conure named Coco. He's always been a little brat, and being my first bird, i'm not quite sure how to stop him from biting. He tends to just nibble on me most of the time, but if I accidentally hurt him or annoy him or do something he doesn't like, he bites hard. I...

Hello! I adopted Loretta, my first GCC, the other day. The old owner said she thinks she's between 4 and 6 months old. She came from a house with a lot of kids and a lot of chaos, so I don't know if that has something to do with the problems I'm having. Namely, the fact that my hands, arms, and...
