conure

I need help from those with experience. A bit of background. I have my female Conure “Kiwi” who is almost 5, have had here since she was a baby. We rescued our male “Buddy” at about a year old, we have had him a 1 1/2yrs. Kiwi and buddy hated each for the almost the 1st year than feel in love...

Hey guys! So I totally caught the bird bug and I’m thinking about getting a second bird. I’ve narrowed down my options to either a GCC or a peachie. I’m totally stuck between the two and was looking for some advice. For some background: I’m a college student, not living in dorms, and I do have...

I recently adopted a 6 month old green cheek conure. Problem is, he's rather nippy. I've done so much research and tried so many methods in order to get him to stop, but nothing has worked. He bites hard to the point it breaks my skin. Here is what I have tried so far: - Blowing on him gently...

Butter was finally taken the vet today! :gcc: And I was able to convince Dad to let him get a checkup. Fortunately, nothing too bad ended up being the case! :D His molt is just really irritating for him so I’m going to have to give him a prescribed medicine twice a day. Thank you all so much for...

My green cheek conure, Butter, has recently started to molt. I had a big scare for awhile that he was plucking but fortunately that ended up not being the case (as he was just molting and began to grow new in feathers). But today I’ve been scared because a lot of the new feathers on his belly...

Hey All, I am a new member on this forum and specifically made this account to offer someone a free black capped conure. I own two green cheeked conures and have been recently visiting my neighborhood Petco in Scarsdale , NY (near Yonkers,NY). There I have seen a black capped conure on sale for...

It has Been 5 Months and My jenday conure still hates me, every day I come up to his cage y'know feed and water him (also let him out sometimes) he always screeches at me and either tries to bite me or just walk away. Even when I let him come out of the cage he still refuses to come out unless I...

Hey all! I’ve been stressing about this nonstop and worrying about my baby. I’m moving to an apartment for college and an taking my green cheeked conure. He’s about 2.5 years old and my husband and I are both going to be in college. He’s going to be doing online school so he’ll be home more...

What is going on here? It seems like he wants scritches but when I try he bites.

Hello, I recently adopted a 3 year old male GC conure who grew up with an African Grey and also baby conures as the owner was a breeder. She said he was becoming too territorial over her grey who was older, and i assumed it was due to hormonal behaviour. After a week he started perching in high...

I am wanting to see what you guys think about what this little guy is. The pet store that I found the little one in are not sure, which Is strange so I need some help!!

Hi folks, hoping you can help. We've got a green cheek conure, around 5-6 months old. For the last two months he's become really bitey. He'll bite hard, often, and frequently breaks the skin. It's becoming impossible to let him out of his cage because he can't be trusted not to bite. We'd love...

I should probably post this to one of thos crazy conure threads but none on the active page right now.... so I was laying on the floor watching something on my phone when my youngest, General Zod thought....those look like treats (skittles candies)..... Before I realized she put her head in...

Hey all! So I’m about to graduate high school and move in with my soon-to-be husband. My parents keep their house at 80 F while my husband will want our home at at most 75 F. Is there something I should do so my green cheeked conure doesn’t go into shock? Will he even go into shock? I’m...

Hello all, I’ve semi recently added a bird to my family after quite a few years without, so I thought it was about time I started posting here myself. I’m the proud parent of a crimson bellied conure named Zephyr. He came to me back in December and will be 10 months on the 21st. He’s just...

Was browsing google and found this so, here we are. I have 7 birds, all bratty as can be but still lovable little fluffbutts. From largest to smallest: Jimbo (Nine year old red lored amazon) Evo (1 year old orange winged amazon) Mango (1 year old sun conure) Pineapple (1 year old pineapple...

My Black Capped conure use to step up and stay like a pro. But as of late he keeps flying off every time he steps up. I’m not sure if he is afraid of us because we did trim his nails last week, but it’s nothing he hasn’t done before and we didn’t hit the quick and hurt him or anything. Also, he...

I have an approx. 1.7 year old Blue Crown and there are defensive behaviors in certain situations that I have questions about the normality of and how or if I should deal with. Generally, he is not an aggressive or hard-to-handle bird (to his "flock" members); He does occasionally play "rough"...

So I have had my GCC for about three weeks now, I have owned and/or worked with dozens of animal species however he is the first bird I've ever owned. Long story short - he was abandoned at my place of work and the nearest bird rescue is over three hours away. I work at a pet store that sells...

He’s not really that little

Hello, I just joined! I've been eyeing this site for years, but never joined until now because I didn't have a bird until about two years ago! I've always been poking around, mostly reading up on what it's like to have a bird. I have a two year old male Green cheek conure named Callum. He's the...

Hi ! I’m new to the parrot community ! I don’t have any birds at the moment but I have been doing my research on a few breeds and that has taken me about three months so far ! ( I want to be very educated the bird I pick ) I’m stuck between a green cheek conure , pionus, Meyer or maybe a...

Hello! My feathered pets of a few years decided to have some babies. The male is a normal Green-cheeked Conure and the female is a yellow-sided. They currently have 3 babies, the eldest being 3 weeks, the second 2.5 weeks, and the youngest 2 weeks. All three of the babies appear to be developing...

Hey everyone! :orange: :p My sunny, Quinn, is turning 5 soon and previously I’ve never had to deal with any behavior issues with her; of course she screams and bites occasionally though, thats expected from any parrot companion :) When I greeted her last night she was doing perfectly fine...

So, confession time, I've gotten lazy and uninspired in the toy department. Kermit was getting bored, but I just couldn't think of what she'd want to play with. I took a few stabs at it, but most things I made are apparently Very Scary (there is an empty pill bottle filled with cool little...

Hi everyone, Just curious.... I have a 6yr old Green Cheeked Conure called Chocky and he's very quiet. He's always been quiet except for when telling the vacuum or the mower to be quiet. He likes silence. I work during the days so he spends a lot of time alone, he comes out wearing his Flight...

Hi All, I recently discovered what an amazing pet green cheek conures can be :gcc:, and have been heavily researching it to prepare myself for a new, hopefully lifelong friend. My issue is I've been struggling to find a reliable trustworthy breeder close enough to where I'm based (Bolton...

Hey guys.. Got this little one in at my work today. I ordered a yellow sided but the shoulders are making me think that its not quite that.. Is it possible to have a yellow sided X Fiery shouldered hybrid? Or is it just an unusually marked YSGCC? Opinions are much appreciated 😊 :rainbow1: :)

Yoshi before he molted: I have a black capped conure, Yoshi(1-2 years old). We got him from a pet store, and he had no tail feathers at the time. Over the few months he molted and has gotten a nice new set of feathers over him, but me and my mother noticed he has blue on him now?! Small about...

We just got are first bird since I was really young! (like since I was 4-5) Our family did our research and put lots of thought into it and decided we wanted a new bird! So we got a male black capped conure, we named Yoshi. We got him from a pet store, where nobody wanted him because all his...

Hello All :) I need some advice on how to work with my green cheek conure. Merlin is about a year and a half old. He's a pretty friendly bird and he knows some basic training like step up. I've been feeding him a combination of pellets and fresh fruits and veggies. My husband and I work full...

Hello, Purchased a Sun Conure last year. This Sun Conure has bonded with the household. Therefore, she contact calls my roommates when she is on my shoulder if my roommates are out of sight. The Conure also screeches if a truck passes by the house which is problematic as I live in a...

A week ago, I rescued a 10 yo female Jenday Conure from a lady online. I was told she'd step up, was friendly, and preferred men. That, besides her age and gender, is all I was told. She refused to let me come over to meet the bird, which I found understandable given internet stranger, but I...

Heya! Hope this helps someone out either looking to buy an extra or new cage, or looking to upgrade from a smaller one to spoil your babies. I came across this sale the other day when looking up the same cage I had purchased for my own bird...

hi! my black capped conure, theo, has suddenly become hyper agressive- enough so that im incapable of taking him out of his cage, in the last day or so. hes bitten me hard enough to draw blood the two times i attempted, which is very upsetting because he hasnt done so since i got him. i got...

Hello all and thanks in advance for any replies. I used to have some finches and a canary but that was a decade or so ago. I have been researching different pet birds and interacting with them at bird stores for about a year. I fell in love with sun conures and my family and I decided that was...

Hey everyone, My name is Bee and I've had two conures for about seven years and last month my girl Darling had a swollen belly and of course, I panicked for a while wondering if she was sick but after a lot of research I came to the conclusion she was making eggs. She does live with a male but...

So!! Back in February I adopted my first bird, a black capped conure. Hes around 8-9 years old (hatched 2009, no exact date) and has been molting for what seems like FOREVER. I got him mid February, and discovered that he was on a seed only diet with only the occasional fruit for supplement...

Whilst I’m a new member, this isn’t the first time I’ve used this site for help! I have 2 conures, a pineapple whom I’ve had a few months now called Alby, she’s very tame and completely comfortable with me. I decided to get her (not sexed just decided she was a she!) a companion, not a cage...

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get my conure’s flight suit on. Anytime I try to grab her with my fingers on her cheekbones so she doesn’t bite me she gives me hell and it makes it impossible to get the flight suit on. The one time I did get it on her she couldn’t walk properly in it and her feet kept going...
