conure

Hello everyone, I'm new here and and first time pet owner. 12 days ago I decided to get a GCC, I've been meaning to get a bird for about a year now but after barely surviving a very bad case of covid, I decided to do so as soon as I am healed and capable. I've been stalking birds ads for a...

Hey guys! I wanted to give a little update on “training” today my Clyde didn’t want to go back into his cage! It makes me feel so happy that he’s comfortable with me to the extent of not wanting to go back to his cage. 🥰 We’ve been working on step up and he’s nailed that one down and will step...

Hi ! I'm new here and i don't know if i'm doing it right but i need some help !! I have a sun conure mango he's about 5-6 months old and he was sick couple days ago. He threw up like 4 times at home so I took him to the emergency but they kicked us out because they don't have an avian vet or...

Hello all, long time no post. Juliet (pineapple green cheek) and I are doing well. She just celebrated her 6th hatchday recently and we are very close. I understand her very well now and pretty much all severe biting and behavioral problems have subsided with age. She recently had a yearly...

Hi there! My name is Chloe, and I got Bree (my GGC) when I was 14. I did extensive research and felt extremely prepared to take care of her, and I was. Unfortunately due to mental health issues at that time, I was hospitalized, and when I got back my mother had gotten rid of her. Fast forward...

I have two conures, cinnamon (female, olive) and green cheek conure (male, rio). both are bonded and share the same cage. I was gone for 4 months so im not sure what their activity level or diet was like (even though i specifically ask ed for mainly pellets diet with fruits and veggies and...

Kiwi likes having pictures taken.

Kiwi hanging on to the brim of my straw hat.

So I have a GCC who is coming up on 10 months old. When he is on my shoulder randomly , and I can tell when it’s gonna happen everytime, he starts to talk and go a little crazy shifting side to side and after he does that specifically in order he will lightly nip my neck/ear. If I were to let...

Hi all. I have a baby green cheek (Teddy) and a superb parrot (Poppy). I am absolutely loving being a parrot mum to all my feathered friends. But my little turquoise friend has a love for mischief. I had not considered pet insurance before he started investigating and trying to eat everything...

So my conure has had this issue where his nose is sometimes leaking water. He loves to dunk his pellets into his water and sometimes even dunk his head to get the pellets. He’s done this since he was a baby, sometimes his nose leaks for a day and other days he’s perfectly fine. He’s 9 months now...

So I've had my green cheek conure since end of January of this year. He was born in November and is 9 months old. My first conure , he's a good boy, loves to cuddle and is a little clumsy which i love him for. He knows quite a few tricks , still has his moments where he nips but not hard...

Hello everyone, I got a 2 month old Baby Jandaya conure yesterday. I have been told to feed her 5ml every 8 hrs. Which I have been doing since I got her, but for some reason she's always hungry. I am afraid that I'm not feeding her enough, she's always bobbing her head and trying to suck on my...

Hello all. I'm looking to rehome an 8 year old sun conure in Arizona, preferably in Maricopa county but anywhere works. Loki is an incredibly sweet bird once he trusts you. No behavioural problems. I hate to have to rehome him, but I'm moving into a dorm (uni student) and no one in my house...

Hello! I have a green cheek conure that is about 9 years old and has been perfectly healthy for a long time. Earlier today I took him out of his cage and noticed a small bald spot under his beak with dried blood. I can't tell if the area is swollen or inflamed but I have noticed that he keeps...

this sounds really dumb, but a bag of sourpatch kids was left out and little sebastian naturally found his way into it while i wasnt paying attention. I know parrots can have a little bit of sugar and be fine but its the malic acid im worried about. I haven't found anything about parrots eating...

Hello, all! I'm going to talk to my vet about this, of course, but was also hoping to hear a collection of personal experiences to draw from. I am going to visit my partner for over a week in a few months (hopefully!!), and I have a young, high needs green cheek. It is not an option to leave...

someone said this is a one year old red factor and im not sure if its just a sun conure or actually a red factor. is it a red factor? https://stockton.craigslist.org/for/d/stockton-red-factor-sun-conure/7336497475.html

this is gonna be a long post but I've been needing some help on this issue. Beforehand I would like to say that if this isn't informative enough, I wrote my specific observations with environment and my bird on paper for my vet to see. if anyone is interested in reading that, I will scan it and...

My two year old Green Cheek Conure somehow got the piece from the middle of her bell toy wedged onto the bottom part of her beak. It has a slit on the side where it slides onto the metal ring, and that slit is jammed onto the side of her beak (Like a piercing..) I tried to wiggle it off a little...

Hey! So I’m planning on getting my first green cheek conure (first ever bird) in around July time but want to have all of my research done well in advance. I have a few questions if anyone can help with them! 1. My bird will be kept solely in my room (in a cage when im not there or when im...

Hello. I'm new to this forum but I have come because I am wondering if anyone has had experience with a bird experiencing lameness like symptoms following injection at a vet. I took my green checked conure To the vet because his poop looked a little weird and they ran a bunch of tests and they...

I'm writing this while crying. Please read this and help me please I'll give some context. I've had my green cheek conure ( Chester) for almost 4 years and I got him with 1 month. He didn't have any problems with biting except when he was passing puberty but never with me just with others. Two...

Hello I just got a brand new saddle and it’s been sitting in my room and I noticed it smells very strong like leather. Not necessarily chemically but very leathery. They do oil it with some kind of oil too so that may not be good. Do you guys know if the leather smell will hurt my conure. Do you...

Hi! I have been dying to have a question of mine answered so I decided to make an account. I have what I believe to be a male pineapple conure :) I recently adopted him from a bird store that was told, he was dropped off due to the family saying their children didn't have interest in a bird...

EDIT: NEW PICTURE, more recent, since we brought him home. This has happened after 3 days. ---- I'm bringing him home from an aviery today, and the keeper doesn't know why his wing and tail feathers are curved like that, he's just 8 weeks old. I have no other information yet!! Would be...

Hello! I recently noticed this really weird growth in my conure's tail. I've never seen something like this before so I was concerned if I should visit a vet right away. Not sure if anyone else has seen something like this and offer any advice, but he doesn't let me touch it and bites me very...

I was working with a GCC I have for a few months on her step up/down because while she would readily step up to go to my shoulder or her training perch, she wouldn't come off me without a target stick or a treat. But after about a week of working on the step up/down as a trick (treating on up...

Hello everybody Everything was very normal, Kiwi started to preen very normally and I wasn't really worried so I left the room for a couple minutes and when I came back I found a feather. I started to panic, because I thought he was plucking and I worried about what I was doing to stress him...

Hello, My name is Carmen and I have 2 pineapple conures name QTPI (Quentin) and GJ (Glow). I grew up with finches, parakeets and cockatiels. Although I’m not a first time bird parent I am a first time pineapple conure parront ;) . I’m excited to have stumbled on your platform and look forward...

Hey guys My names jacob and i just joined up to ask some questions about my lovely peach fronted conure Petrie. He’s going really well, and is the first conure ive owned. I’ve previously kept budgies and cockatiels, so i have a bit of experience. Anyway, he is hand-raised, gentle, and...

I am "boarding" GCC Kona for a few months while her owner is abroad. She has been losing feathers since (and before) she arrived with me, even though it's not time for her usual molt according to her owner. She was with someone else for ~3 weeks before coming to me, and that person really...

Hey everyone, I noticed something a little different about Kiwi's poop today, SLIGHTLY URGENT PART: it was a normal color but their were no urates (the water around the poop learned that from google lol). My first thought was maybe he's dehydrated but that doesn't really make sense since he's...

Hi everyone, I have an issue with my female pineapple Conure's feathers I would like some help with. I have attached some photos to this thread of what her feathers look like. It appears that she is chewing or plucking them and I would like to understand why and is there anything I can do to...

In late December, I brought home my first parrot,a cinnamon Green Cheek Conure. He's supposed to be about a year old, and I got him as a rehome from a Craigslist ad. I don't know a ton about his life before I got him, which is a little sketchy but the vet says he's perfectly healthy. The story I...

Hi, so 5 days ago i got this baby Green Cheek Conure hatched on the 23rd of December and we have been constantly feeding her and keeping track of her weight and amount of food she eats so as to be able to note significant changes in her diet and whatnot.. but we also noticed that she averages a...

Hi, it’s been awhile since I have used this website. I am worried about my parrot. Anybody wondering about my last posts, she was fine. I took her to the vet. But I have found just today that she has a big orange hard thing under her beak. She was scratching at it. I have never heard of or seen...

Hello, my name is Katie and I have a Black Capped conure named Yoshi who is almost a year old. The last months he has been chewing at his leg band and I am worried it will become obsessive. There are not a lot of avian vets in our area( Columbus, OH) and the 2 we found couldn't see us fir a...

Hi everyone, something a little different happened yesterday morning:D. As usual I got up and was excited to start the new day and let Kiwi out of his cage, he wanted to get out and start the day too and greeted me in his usual happy, excited way, flying onto me, then I kind of put my finger...

Hey everyone, My 3m. GCC sneezes. I've been reading and it says that they occasionally sneeze to clear their nostrils. But frequent sneezing and the discharge of mucus is a cause for concern. Thankfully they're is no mucus and I really don't know how frequent is too frequent. What I have noticed...
