conure

Hi everyone, I gave my 3 month gcc his first bath a few days ago, he didn't seem to hate it which I'm really glad about. I'm wondering how often I should bathe him per week. I read something about how you should bathe your bird more often in the summer than in the winter, (which is logical) but...

I live in NYC. Willing to travel locally. Looking for green cheek conure and/or cockatiel. Thank you.:grey::grey::white1:

Hey everyone, I adopted my 2 month old GCC Kiwi, a couple weeks ago, and he's doing pretty good. The first few days having him all he wanted was cuddles and food, he would slowly warm up to us (he was always friendly to us, I'm just noticing that he trusts us more and more and gets excited when...

My almost 3 month GCC loves biting my lips I try not to let him do it too much (it doesn't hurt, I'm just worried about the germs I'm giving to him and vise versa). He does it when we cuddle, he's all happy and tries to nibble my lips is this normal? Is this a sign he's bonding with me? We got...

My conures bred over a year, but they don't breed a second time. I keep thinking they are gona breed cause they eat lots of calcium and feed each other then randomly stop. I've tried increasing lighting, giving supplement, things to shred. But they are not breeding. Any advice? Btw I have bred...

Hello! I live in the middle east where breeding animals or taking care of them isn't very important to pet store owners. I bought a 5 month old conure a few days ago. The bird is clearly not used to any kind of human touch. I let it stay in the cage in my room for 2 days to get used to me & I...

Hey everyone, this week I got a 2.5 month healthy gcc. He has been very happy, and we have been cuddling and the bonding is going great so far. What I am slightly confused about though is the feeding situation (We hand feed). I'm not sure if I'm over feeding or I'm doing ok . We got a lot of...

Hello all! I just recently adopted a 3 week old (non-weaned) black capped conure. I've noticed that hes been sleeping a lot and i was wondering if this is normal. I've read that they need about 10 hours of sleep but he naps aloooot (hes been asleep since 10:30 am to 2:30 pm). He is only...

It started with him regurgitating which I successfully got him to stop doing. But now he always tries to rub up on me. :( At least I know he’s a boy. He’s been doing this for a while now.I can always tell when he’s about to cause he starts to really annoyingly nibble on my fingers. He also gets...

My conures tail is all torn and tattered. I’m not sure why. It doesn’t bother him at all. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? His beak is also kind of chipping I read that that’s normal. Do you think it’s connected at all? Thanks :) Btw its my first time adding photos not sure if it worked

Hi, I hope someone is able to help as I am very worried about my little conure Rio. He is a male, about 3 years old. He came to me just over a year ago after living with my farther and his wife since weening. Rio while living with my farther took to his wife and only his wife. He is a very...

She hates my fingers/hands. So she is comfy on my head or shoulders.

Hello, I have two green cheek conures and I’ve had them for a year now. Nowadays, whenever I want to do a little training with them, like teaching them to do a spin or whatever, they simply fly away. Our house is pretty big and has only a few doors and I don’t have an own room, so they can go...

Thank you for the welcome 😊 My green cheeked conure, Yoshi is very bitey so I need to train him not to bite. He's four years old and originally belonged to a child so he hasn't been trained very well. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thank you

My dearest Eddie.. what have I done to deserve this? Bloodshed! Tears! I’m heartbroken! My little Green Cheek named Eddie is approximately 11 months old so we are nearing his first birthday. I adopted him at about 5 months old so he has been part of my family for around 6 months now. Especially...

Hello! Looking for additional members for my flock and figured I'd check here first. 1) Male conure 1-7 y/o. I currently have a male maroon bellied conure who is desperately trying to play with the cockatiel and she wants none of it. Hoping to get him a companion whether they end up being cage...

Hi! Papaya is one year and a half old now! Yay! He has come a long way from when he has first arrived but he still is very cage aggressive. I'm about to start grad school and I've been thinking of getting him a possible partner so he won't be lonely, as I will be attending more intense classes...

Hi everyone, For a few years now, I've been stricken with a love for parrots. It started with Cockatiels, and has, more recently, spread to Conures and Quakers. I started a similar thread 2 years ago, but a lot has changed since then. With 2020 providing a lot of idle time to dedicate to...

I was wondering if birds have certain preferences such as hair color and human genders. I ask this because he does not like boys and men. Especially my dad and brother. He’s really mean to them. I didn’t think that birds could smell it so I don’t know what it is. He hates men and boys because my...

Hi again, friends! Two posts in such a short amount of time may seem a bit crazy, I know, but I'm prepping to bring a new baby GCC home in about four weeks and I want to make sure I've cleansed my home of anything super toxic or dangerous. We'll be living in a two-bedroom apartment for the...

I have had my black capped conure Ginkgo for almost a month and a half and he's settled in and is getting along great with my budgie but is still scared of me and my hands. I talk to him sometimes and let him out of the cage for a couple hours everyday, he has toys and has been using those. How...

Hi, I have an Avery and am wanting to buy a pair of sun conures and Green cheek conures and put them in it together and am just wondering if the birds will be okay with each other. Thanks

hello and thanks for reading. Any help or advice would be appreciated greatly. I have two Green cheek conures. One called pepper who is very good natured towards anyone and even my dogs, steps up everytime and will quite happily sit on your shoulder all day if he could. I have another Yellow...

hi, i'm new here. my 8 month sun conure, that i got a couple months ago, does this strange behavior i haven't heard of. she doesn't do it a lot but sometimes she'll latch her beak onto my finger or nail and start shaking up and down vigorously. she doesn't do that with anyone else in my family...

My nanday conure has recently been squawking every ten seconds no matter what I change/ try/ do. Shes usually pretty scared of a lot of things, which causes her to do her "omg wtf!!" yell, I can usually tell what is bothering her then or it at least only lasts 30 seconds and she gets over it...

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, and I just got a weaned baby green cheek conure today. Maybe I’m just being paranoid, and maybe it’s normal for babies, but he fluffs his feathers all the time and sleeps all the time. Is he I’ll or something, or is it normal for babies? (Also, can...

I recently (about 4 days ago) got my new black capped conure Ginkgo who is about 5-6 months old and only after doing some more research I realized that my bird has an unusual amount of black feathers compared to every other photo of black caps I've seen on the internet. I've read that feather...

Three or four weeks ago my mother purchased a 3 month old pineapple green cheek for my 16th and she/he has warmed up really quick and is super comfortable. My mother has had plenty of parrots in her childhood, but most of them hated her guts (not her fault). My parrot was the first parrot to...

I adopted Cookie less than a week ago and I’ve noticed its beak looks different than most pictures I’ve seen of Conures. Cookies diet consists of chop, pellets and seeds only as treats. I got some non toxic toys which Cookie has started to play with as well, chewing and such. Has a good appetite...

hey all, I've just brought home a young (2 months) green cheek named Corvus and she is the love of my life! she's very friendly overall but has some issues biting. at this point I can't tell if it's just because she's so young (she's still getting used to perching) and doesn't quite have a good...

My parrot has been eating mostly a mixture of seeds and pellets + fruits. Is this all a parrot eats? I could just search it up on Google but I would really prefer ideas from the community so that there are people that have experimented with what a parrot could actually eat. I can really feel...

Hi all, My little darling and booger did it again and I have three babies I must find homes for. They hatched on May 20th to the 24th. Two are pineapples and one is a green cheek. I’m located in the DFW area of Texas. Please message me if you’re interested.

Do pineapple gcc not get as big as normal gcc? My baby is only 8 weeks. Will he get bigger or is he just small? He’s about the size of a lovebird. I just saw the green cheeks in petco and they look much bigger. I mean I know he won’t grow a crazy amount but will he grow at all anymore? I wont...

Hi! about 2 weeks ago i got a 7 month old Green Cheeked Conure called Kiwi. Kiwi was born with only one foot but i was told it doesn’t seem to bother him and i don’t think it does. From getting Kiwi he seems to be a bit off, i was told he was a sweet funny cuddly bird and as he is becoming more...

Hello all I’m looking at taking a aviary bird from a pet shop that is basically just going to be thrown back in to circulation if I don’t take it,it’s 5-6 months old and is a gcc not sure what sex the reason why I’m writing this is because I’m wondering if it’s worth it to take it at that age or...

Hello, is there anybody who can tell me what mutation is this bird and in your opinion how old is she? Tiki was sold to me as Pineapple. The colours are changing slowly. From green she is now blue (wings and around the back of the neck). Shoulders are bright yellow and she is turning red around...

Hello, I have a vet appointment next Monday as thats the quickest I could get in but I have a question about my new green cheek conure. We adopted her about 2 weeks ago and she's been great. Playing, eating, super active and cuddly! Today when I was playing with her I noticed a little bump close...

I had hoped my first post here would be a happier one, but I just really need to vent right now. So I have this sweet little crimson bellied conure named Beo. He’s my first bird and I love him to bits. When I got him back in December his wings were already clipped. I didn’t mind this since it...
