green cheeck conure

The Issue: My green cheek has become extraordinarily clingy & he screams whenever he knows I'm home but out of sight. It's extremely high-pitched & can go on forever. I'm trying so so hard but it's not getting better, so I'm asking for help. - I know Conures are loud, I'm not expecting him to...

Hello everyone. So allow me to get right to the chase. I am currently the owner of two GCCs, Hawk and Swoop. I have had Hawk for about a year and a half and have had him since he was weened (assumed male, non DNA tested) and he has been the sweetest and most playful thing imaginable. He was...

I have one Conure that I got when he was young. He went through a bit of a biting phase when he went through his adolescent stage but is great now. Loves to be handled and very sweet. About 6 months ago I adopted an older Conure (9 years). His owner was moving and couldn?t take him with her. He...

***Let me preface, this is not an emergency. The injury is incredibly superficial, clotted almost immediately, and parrot is running around acting like nothing happened.*** Rescued this parrot a few weeks ago. This GCC was surrendered twice in 5 years. The last owner took care of him well and...

Hi there We got a female budgie a week ago from a bad conditioned place. She’s been there for about four years. She’s a little cage bound. We let her out for the first time yesterday and she was super calm the whole time. She accepts a millet spray from my hands. She was on an almost all - seed...

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new here so apologies if I got any of this wrong - I've had my Green Cheek, Canderous, for around 2 months now, and a couple of weeks ago I noticed a yellow discoloured dent on his beak (picture attached - it looks like I'm holding him down but he's just getting neck...

I own an 8-month-old GCC who used to be the sweetest thing in the whole world, but as of three or four days ago she has wanted nothing to do with me, she bites at me when I take her out of her cage, and she puffs right up whenever I try to handle her. I usually put her right back in her cage...

Hello everyone. I have really bad news. We accidentally left a window slightly open and Zafir went out. This was on Monday when the sun was going down. We searched for her and did everything but no clue yet. It’s winter and it’s really cold but we did everything we could but I’m not writing...

Hello my name is Bunny! I am rehoming a green cheek conure with all of its supplies and the cage, basically everything. Hoenstly I feel like someone will be able to give her a better life. I had Rika for months now but I did not know that she would be affecting my allergies. I am located in NJ...

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...

At what age is the best time to start training your parrot?

I have a 4 month old GCC. I got him about a month and and a half ago, so I know he might still be sussing me out. His name is Leo and I love him so much already (if he is in fact a he, heck if I know 😂). I got him fully tamed and weaned. He’s very sweet and playful. And loves scritches and...

So I’ve had my greencheeck conure baby for about 2 and a half weeks now and it’s like we’ve never been apart. He loves me so much. Which Im so very greatful for because when I first got him he wouldn’t really interact with me and always bit. I was so sad. (Thanks for everyone’s tips who got him...

So I've owned a green cheek conure for about two weeks. Was very quiet in the first week while settling in - however now every time it sees another bird fly past the window he/she flock calls extremely loudly and incessantly (literally from sunrise to sunset) until the bird is out of sight or...

Hello I’ve seen this anti bite harness for parrots ( I have two GCCs) and I wondered if they were really anti bite or this is just clickbait. It’s on eBay here’s the link...

Hey everyone I want to harness train my 2 green cheek conures but I don’t know what kind of brand is the best for conures that is not too expensive. I wondered if you could tell me what do you use and what’s your advice on choosing a harness and also if you know some things to avoid? Thank you...

Hi everyone, I am new here in this forum and also new in birds in general. A couple of months ago, a bird just flew inside my room. I don't have any knowledge about birds/parrots at that particular time but I decided to keep the bird while I am finding the owner. The parrot is a Meyer's Parrot...

Hi everyone. So I have a green cheek conure who is a little over a year old now. I’ve had her since April 2019. She’s adorable and sweet but can have her moody moments which I know is normal for GCC’s. She used to be super nice to anyone when she was younger but it’s as if once she turned 1, she...

Hello! I have a Green Cheek Conure, Ivan with a terrible aggression problem. He's 7 years old, and I have had him since he was 3 months old. He's always been gregarious and territorial, but the trouble really started when I got married. Ivan as it turns out, HATES my husband. I'm talking...

Hello All! I am looking for some advice. I recently got a Green Cheek Conure; I am his third home and he is under 1 year old. His first owner was a young girl who neglected him and left him up in her room all day alone since her mother did not like the noise (she was scared of him so never...

Hey everyone, I am trying to look for a new home for my two bonded Green Cheek conures ( preferably someone who already owns birds). I have had them for a year and now it has come to the point where my marriage is about to end because of them. My husband and in law’s absolutely hate them...

Hello y'all! I am a new parront living in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am new to Alaska, and especially to caring for a parrot in Alaska! I have a 2(ish) year old GCC named Mochi. I adopted her 3 weeks ago from a family in Anchorage that was moving to Florida and could not keep her. We just had her...

So this is my first post here. I have exhausted any ideas I have or anything I could research online so I decided it would probably be best to ask others! I have been training my one year old, greencheek conure, Gordi, to wear an aviator harness for almost 3 months now. At this point, my green...

I brought Gizmo home a few days ago. He belonged to my best friend who tragically lost her battle with cancer late Friday night/Saturday morning. Gizmo has been in my apartment for almost a week now. He has taken to obsessively picking at my fingers and the skin around my fingernails. I used...

Hi everyone, i have two green check conures that I got two years ago. since then I have been working with them and training them every single day, by now they know many tricks and games but they still don’t seem bonded to me... the male, Loki is jumpy and afraid of any new objects... he bites...

Hi everyone! I've two funny and lovely green cheeks.. The male (J.) has 5 years old, and the female (A.) almost 3. This is the problem: during the night the male goes to the bottom of the cage.. spending his time walking and walking and making confetti with the newspaper (I use newspaper...

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...

Hi all, I'd like all your opinions. I'm interested in getting a Green-cheek Conure or Senegal Parrot. I have owned birds before, a Sun Conure and an African Grey who unfortunately I had to give up when I moved here (to Ireland) from South Africa. I gave them to a bird sanctuary with huge...

Hi all! My boyfriend didn't listen to me and I am currently freaking out. He cooked with a non stick Pan. He put my 4 month old green cheek conure in the bedroom (smallish apartment) during cooking and for 40 minutes after. I am panicking. Is it likely that my bird Will get sick and die?!!! :(

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a parrot to be my lifelong friend, I've owned and bred budgies many years ago but wanted something with a little more potential for human interaction/affection & one I can train. From my research I think electus & conures suit the best. I love personality in a bird and...

My Green Cheek Conure Drago almost grabbed a mini Starburst but I took it from him, so that got me thinking if it would be harmful to him if he ate it?

Hello everyone! So just a quick update - Zelda is already doing much better with her biting. I started off by giving her a treat every time she nibbled softly (I tried to avoid her nibbling my hand at all yesterday), and I would put her down on the floor or ignore her each time she nibbled hard...

Hello all! My boyfriend purchased a Green Cheek Conure (now named Zelda) for me from a local pet store on December 23rd (Saturday). She is 7 months old, and really such a sweet bird. She loves to sleep in my pocket and cuddle up anywhere that's warm and cozy. We were advised by the staff that...

My GCC (green cheek conure) recently ran out of food so of course I got more, but it was a different brand.(can’t remember brand but the description of what birds it was for fit my GCC) now he is being very picky so I’m worried he will starve from being too picky. Am I being to dramatic or will...

Hello! I am the proud new Mommy of 4 month old Pancake! :gcc: He came home yesterday! I have decided to seek out a parrot forum in order to learn how to better handle and train my little guy. For years I owned a curmudgeonly Yellow Nape whom I loved dearly, but despite all our best efforts...

I have a green cheek conure and a crimson bellied conure sharing the same cage. I've had them for about 4 years and they have shared a cage. Now I am used to being bitten here and there by my birds (anything with a mouth can bite). So my green cheek has been showing aggression over time but I...

Hi All, I am new to this forum and hope to make some friends. :) I am a 27 y.o. and just adopted a baby Green Cheek Conure [9 weeks old] who seamlessly became a part of our small family. He actually makes us feel as a complete family. Had troubles sleeping the past two days just because I am...

Hey everyone, i'm new to this site and the world of parrots (more of a reptile person myself), and was wondering if I could get a couple of things cleared up. I'm hoping to adopt a male green cheek sometime in the future, they seem like the type of bird that fits well with my lifestyle, ie...

About a week ago my boyfriend rolled onto our Green Cheek Conure, Louie, in his sleep (we think). Jordan immediately woke up and spooked Louie causing him to fly into a door nearby. The resulting injuries of these two traumas were as follows: blood from nose and mouth, red and injured right eye...

Shamrock is a young (4 no more than 6?) green cheek conure. I'm usually the only one who handles her. A few years ago she flew at my sister, it didn't look aggressive but was trying to get a grip, unfortunately she was trying to on her head. Well my sister was pretty much done with her since...
