I've had Ollie for about 8 months- he turned one in December. After the initial warm up phase, and occasional mood swings/nippiness- he was wonderful. He would sit on my shoulder and do everything with me around the house. Around February- I walked in his room that morning, and everything was...

Dear knowledgeable parrot-owners: I am trying to identify the various types of birds depicted in a 17th century painting (see image, attached). I believe there is a yellow-crested cockatoo at upper right, and perhaps a red-masked conure on the man's hand at lower left? No idea what the bird...

My Lilly was just introduced to Harrisons on tuesday... She took to them straight away and scoffed them down!! I'm glad she doesn't miss Kaytee. Shes currently been eating them non stop for the last half an hour... should I take them away or let her carry on? lol Can she over eat on these and...

Hi all, this is my first post to the parrot forums, but I'm reaching out because I am in need of help in finding my beloved bird a new home, and timeline is short. He/she (never sexed, doesn't matter to me) is a Green-cheeked conure, 13 years old, about to be 14 in April, and has been my...

I usually come here for help and you always do, so thank you very much for the help so far <3!! So my Lilly sits and snips the end off of some of her feathers, in only 2 patches. On her right wing, and a little on her left neck feathers.... at the moment her down feathers are showing in those...

Hi all, So my little GCC decided to hop on my head while I was putting away the solution and I'm not sure if he tried drinking it but it toppled over. He had some on his beak, I'm assuming from the splash or the sip. Would it harm him in any way? What needs to be done? He wouldn't have been...

We just recently bought a new green cheek conure. Hes very friendly and gets along with my cinammon cockatiel they are both like 1 year old. And my concern is that my conure preens and regurgitated for my cockatiel but for some reason starts stepping on her head and neck. I don't know if he's...

Hello! Ive recently bought a 4 month old conure (atleast thats what they have told me) he looks pretty small so i didnt question them further however he doesnt have a leg band, but he IS pretty tame as in he steps up when hes outside his cage and climbs to my shoulder and nibbles on my shirt...

I'm a new owner, I bought a green cheeked conure 4 days ago and he's about a year old. he came from a family where his owner was a small kid, they didn't want hium anymore because he wasn't tame and the kid tried t grab the bird with his hands all the time. so I'm guessing he's afraid of hands...

My conure has been making this strange jerking motion with his neck since I got him, and there is a slight popping noise when he does it. Can anyone explain it? It looks like he's throwing his head back and making circular mtions. I had to upload it to YouTube in order to attach it...

Thank you for allowing me here! :rainbow1: I have two Green Cheeck Conures! Vincent/Vinnie/Vinny/Vin/Vinnan/ is the male. Chi Chi/Cha Cha/ Chichass is the hen. Iv'e had Chi Chi for about 7/8 years now, and Vinny for 6.

I'm travelling home for a few days with my GCC on the train. Just wondering if there are any dangerous fumes on a train I should be wary of? I don't think there are but I wanted to make sure :) he has a travel cage, food and water and toys as well as a cage that we'll assemble once we arrive up...

Hi, we are new to the community. I'm Rhonda and my Jenday Conure is Jhin. I call Jhin a she but have not had her tested for gender yet. A bit of history. Jhin was hatched September 4th 2012, hand raised and then sent to a prominent pet store chain in December of 2012 where she was put in a glass...

Hi everyone, I have a serous predicament going on. Yesterday evening my conure started becoming very hostile with me, when in the morning he was just fine and able to perch on my finger. Now he just lunges at me and bites to the point where he break skin and I bleed. Ontop of that the little...

so lately my greencheek conure kiwi has grown his flight feathers back and I decided not to clip them, the cage is open and he is free to roam. He spends most of his time up ontop of a large cupboard in the dark where I can't see him, I suspect he only eats when I come home and finally decide...

I posted about a month ago when I adopted my Blue Crowned Conure, Lorne. I am happy to report that he is warming up to me (finally) and I am able to handle him almost every time I ask him to step up. The problem is that he seems to still hate my boyfriend and no progress has been made there. I...

Seymour with black beak Pickles with white beak

Why on earth does my Lilly poop every time I enter the room and say hi, or when I go over to talk to her. Literally every time. Is this a social thing? LOL :p She's beautiful, look at her. She's a poop machine.

Well, I guess this is a little awkward. Hi, my name is Vehnn, and I'm turning 16 on the 2nd of February. Now, I guess for a lot of parrot owners this is like, instant red flags. ('Oh god, not another little conure in the hands of a teenager..') Which is, fair enough, I suppose. Actually, I...

My Nanday Mort has started rubbing her bum on everything (humping, I guess). Her toys, perches, food bowl... Everything. Is this something I should stop, or be concerned with? I usually try to distract her, but she has started doing it more and more. Any advice is helpful, I'm a newbie! :green2:

Hi guys I have a new conure and I made the mistake of buying one that was maybe mistreated. When I showed up at the breeders home to pick my conure they were packed 6 tight into maybe a 2 foot by 2 foot cage. And she transported them by throwing a towel on them and shoving them into a cage. My...

Hey, I have 3 conures, one is a male(Cheeto) the other a female(Chappie) and the last one is their son(Babe) who came into the world by accident. You see, when I got Chappie and Cheeto, both of their birth certificates stated that they were both males, but a few months later Chappie had laid an...

Hi everyone, BroncoJ here and I am a new owner of a sun conure. I have owned 4 tiels before but haven't owned a bird since and it's been about 8 years. Anyways I got this little guy from Petco. Gonna be honest I hated seeing him in a cage for 2 months and had to bring him home. He is very timid...

Recently found out that my sun conure Leo is a girl. She started laying eggs a year or two ago and is around and is almost 13 years old. I noticed after her bath that she had a lump on her tummy. I have seen one like this before over the summer but it had went away. I had done some research and...

Hello! For the last few months I've been looking into buying another parrot and I wanted some advice on how to bond them. I have a Nanday conure, he is extremely sweet and he enjoys being around other birds. I want to buy a blue and gold macaw, I've done a lot of research on buying one...

Before I say anything else I want to make it clear that I am going to take him to a vet as soon as a I can, I just wanted to know if it was an emergency or if I can at least wait until after the holidays. So I have a Nanday Conure ( he is about 2 years old) and for as long as I can remember he...

I've had my GCC for two years. He's a pineapple called Diego. He's always been a feisty one but i could always hold him however i wanted and he NEVER bit me ever. I've moved house a month a go and he was fine. I then went a way for a week and had a friend take care of him. He got very attached...

The holidays are almost upon us and I love to get my pets gifts as well. I'd like up upgrade my Jenday from the cage he's in. It's literally my old RAT cage; a 32"H x 17" D x 22" L cage with 1/4 inch spacing. It's not like it's not a bad size for him, but I'd like something that's more...

Hi everyone! I have a question on some unusual behaviour from my GCC. He is 3 years old now just as of the other day (never got a DNA test so gender couldn't be either) Last month (October) i noticed that he was masterbating more than normal, or what I call, being a dirty birdy. Then I noticed...

Hi. My name is Toni. My conures just had a clutch of eggs. I have hand reared babies but this time i am letting her do it herself. I just want to make sure i am giving her the proper nutrients to help her babies grow. What are the best food to feed my conures right now? Any food i ahould...

Please help I'm desperate! I adopted two birds about 3 weeks ago (a 4yo quaker and a 3yo conure bonded pair). The quaker is settling in well but the conure won't stop biting me and to a lesser extent my partner. The previous owners advised he prefers males so that explains why he's biting me...

How do I tell a conure "no" to keep it from doing something again? I get bit sometimes and I want them to know that I don't like it. I have two and they're both green-cheek conures. Also, is there a way to keep them quiet if they have a random chirping spree? I don't want to use food as a means...

Hello everyone!!! I just bought a new, four month old peach-fronted conure:green1: from a local bird breeder shop. They were very nice and told me they hand raised their birds, and also (of course) let me bond with my new friend for about a week before taking him home. While at first he was the...

Hi! I am Hannah and I have been looking into getting a bird as a pet for a long time now but have never made the purchase out of worry I may not give it the best care. The birds I have been looking at are conures and I will take the best care of it with all my heart but I don't want to buy one...

Hey there ! I recently discovered you can sex a parrot by mail and pay $20 instead of the $100 at the vet's office. I got very excited and wanted to know what Kermit was... not only for my own curiosity (i.e. he will be a Kermi if a female XD), but in case he's a female, I'd like to be aware...

Hi all, I am a very concerned owner. My female green cheek conure, Asura, is 6-8 months old and has a swollen, bruise-coloured and probably fractured ankle. The foot from the ankle and below is also slightly turned. I have attached 2 pictures (her feathers are hiding the top part of her ankle...

Hi everyone, my green cheek conure (Georgia) and I are looking for some insight and advice into our problem. I just recently moved to a new place (on Saturday so only a few days ago) and I'm concerned about some behavior from Georgia. I understand that it's a huge change for her leaving one...
