conure

I have a Maroon Bellied Conure called Taz who I think is about almost 1 and a half. He use to be very friendly and would let you do pretty much anything to him and if he didn't like it he would give you a warning nip which wouldn't hurt t all. but in the last few months he has gotten less...

I am going to use this post for videos of my girl from now on... Birdie Puberty? - YouTube gaaaah she just melts my heart. She went from being not cuddly anymore to suddenly super cuddly. I actually rushed her to the vet because I thought she was sick! Turns out she is just starting her molt...

Hello everyone I bought a green cheek conure 8 weeks ago he's still a baby as he was born earlier this year. I did clip his wings as soon as I got him home because the owners told me he was very tame but once I got him home I received an email saying that he was never tame. I've been attempting...

Baby Green Conure Nibbling? I got a Green Cheek Conure from my local pet store today, the day we brought him home he was great, very tame, calm, not panting, etc. Today in the morning when we tried to pet him he started like licking our fingers? He was not biting, but instead licking/touching...

Kyo was at Nanny's for a visit, and while we were cooking supper she had a little treat. https://www.facebook.com/100008347988852/videos/1649734118648172/ I think she threw more on the floor than she ate, but she really enjoyed tearing it apart! Just a side note, that is not her normal cage...

Wanted a quick second opinion on something. My green cheek conure just recently (within about the last 20 minutes or so) had a bit of a sneezing attack followed by some wheezing. The wheezing was rather loud for a few minutes but seems to have gone away. Her eyes are completely clear, I...

Hello everyone, My name is Kyla and I have an eight month old green cheek conure which I do not know the gender of but i refer to my conure as she. Her name is olivia. I haven't taken her to the vet yet because she had vet check ups 1,2, and three months after her hatch date. I have the...

About a year and a half ago I bought a companion conure for my existing conure Zazu. This birds name is Bowie. We bought Bowie when Zazu was about 2, and he was about 3. When we bought him, he was abandoned by his home. At the store he was outgoing and friendly. We brought him home. The two...

Hello everybody! So I have a question that I'm hoping those of you with similar situations can weigh in on. My girlfriend and I are planning on moving in together (yay!). She has a 7 year old green cheek (Tiki) and 5 parakeets that would be coming along with her. After spending so much time...

So I'm a new bird mom to a sweet 9 month old Sun Conure. (We've had him 3 months) He's an absolute cuddly sweetheart and me and my boyfriend love our little screaming mango. The only thing I'm worried about is the personality change when he hits maturity. I was wondering if a companion would...

Hey everybody, I was just messing with my boy through the side of the cage (It's next to my computer desk) and noticed him snapping at me a couple times. He bows his head to be stroked, so I oblige, and after about 3 second he whips his head around to try and catch me. Fortunately he's not...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I became the owner of 2 green cheek conures (Jet and Falco) at the start of June and I'm pleased to say that they have been some of the best pets i have ever owned, I'm constantly being surprised at their level of intelligence and that they both have very...

Sunny in the kitchen.

Sunny first day at home (1st Nov 2015), he is around 10 weeks old.

Hello, I am very new to this forum, and I need some help with my GCC. I am not sure if the conure is a male or female, but I'm not exactly sure if that will effect my problems. My conure is extremely aggressive towards other people besides me. I have had conures for a few years now, but this one...

Q: Can conures(parrots in general even) eat freshly harvested off the plant un flower seeds? Do I need to do anything to the seeds themselves prior to consumption? Background info: Planted some sunflowers this year. For a few reasons. 1-My parents like them so I did some there & my apartment...

so we all know green cheeks are nippy, i expect that from him and was able to limit his habbits by receiving helpful information on here. my green cheek is a male and has just turned one year old. he is nippy like most green cheeks but for some reason he has just started to lash out like crazy...

Hi guys, I'm just curious about something I noticed on my green cheek conure and wanted a few opinions. Some of the feathers around the upper part of her wings are looking a little ratty and not complete and some of them look like they have little bits of black around some of the edges. I...

(Condensed, quick to the point version with my questions) Q: Bird gets very loud when im out of her sight. Wings are grown and will also fly to find me. No fans on or anything for this reason. Not sure what to do about the loud screeching. Any help? Q: Very easy to startle her. Sneezing, water...

Hello all , we have officially chosen a noble macaw to join our flock! she is not yet ready to come home yet but i wanted to ask a few questions that google couldn't answer. First i wanted to know whether female and males had different temperaments and what not, and secondly is there a better...

My mother has two Green Cheek Conures. One is very friendly and loves attention and the other is a recently rescued bird (couple weeks now) and it very moody. Lunar is the bird's name. My mother had no problem hand taming Charlie (the other conure) but Lunar is very back and forth and...

Ever since I was a little girl, probably grade school aged, I have always wanted a bird as a pet. I spent most of my high school and college years dreaming of the day I could finally get a parrot. About a year ago when I was 23, I started getting serious about looking for one to adopt because...

Last night my little Green Cheek Conure passed away suddenly with no warning at all. He was less than 3 years old. I spent the day playing with him, he did his usual chirping, biting, playing, and eating. Nothing abnormal at all. In the evening when he was in his cage resting I was in my...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and I joined hoping to get some advice and opinions from fellow bird parents. I have a green cheeked conure named Georgia who is about a year and a half old. Today she has been acting rather lethargic and not like herself at all. She's hardly made a peep all...

My family has owned Green Cheek Conures before so I'm not completely lost, just a little. I'm looking at some of the different kinds of Conures though and am interested in knowing what may be the best fit for me. I'm looking for a bird that is fun and playful, however I'd also like the bird to...

Hi everyone! My family and I recently purchased a baby 2month old conure (JamRock) a month ago, yesterday we went into a bird store and fell in love with a 5 month old baby Congo Grey. My question is, how soon should I expose the birds to one another? And would the Grey eventually attack the...

Hello Everyone, I was hoping someone can give me some words of encouragement. I recently bought a Sun Conure from a breeder who claimed he hand fed and tamed the birds. I should have realized he was lying the birds kept biting him. -___- but on the bright side, I was able to save my bird from...

Hello! I am new to parrot forums and to conure ownership, and would love some advice about raising a happy, healthy feathered friend. My boyfriend and I purchased JoJo, a very young green Cheek conure (max 10 weeks old) from a breeder 2 days ago. Long story, but this was not a conure breeder...

Hi, I had a tame pineapple conure for some weeks, he/she is fully tame, fly in my house every day (good or bad idea?), likes to play with me when I at home, and I'll adopt another yellow sided conure this weekend, which is not tame, 8 months old, any suggestion to train/tame the new baby...

Hello all! I've just made an appointment to take my 10 year old Green Cheek Conure, Burgundy, to the vet for a grooming. But I'm pretty nervous because the last time we took him to a groomer, he had a bad anxiety attack. His beak was open in a way that I can only describe as panting and he...

I have a Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure named Henry. Some days he is an absolute angel. Calm, well behaved, sweet... Other days he seems to have woken up on the wrong side of the perch and by that I mean he's extra bitey. Is there any explanation for this? There doesn't seem to be any difference...

Hey, everybody! My name is Eden and I currently own a Green Cheek Conure. His name is Burgundy and he is 10 years old. I got him when I was nine. We call him Cheepy. He's a pretty feisty little guy but I love him. Unfortunately, I went through a phase (as every teenager does) of laziness...

Hi All- I'm new to the bird world! I owned a parakeet years ago, but that's about it. We adopted a baby Green Cheek Conure on Friday from a local pet store (a well known chain one) and he passed away this morning after only 3 days. He was just shy of 3 months old. We are devastated and cannot...

Hello all, I have had Nacho, a cinnamon green cheek, for almost four years. He has never had a plucking problem before, but I'm afraid he might be plucking. He's been molting, but just today I blew on his tummy, and notice that it seemed like under his feathers he has bald spots. Is this due...
