green cheek conure

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...

Hi all, I got Dandy, my green cheek conure, from a shelter about 8 months ago. They said he was around 2 years old, but didn't know his exact age, so I'm assuming he is around 3 years old now. Once he adjusted to me and my apartment, he was such a sweet and cuddly bird. Suddenly, he started...

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, 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...

Hi there! My four-month-old green cheek is beginning to molt some of her baby feathers due to her transition to adolescence and the change in the weather here in Ontario. She's been to the vet for a checkup and has been determined to be very healthy, but she tends to chew a bit at her...

Hello everyone! I’m very new here so I apologize for any mistakes. I have recently become an owner to a beautiful 4 month old cinnamon GCC named Monkey (getting a dna sexing soon). All has been absolutely great other than this one issue. I have owned a fair share of cockatiels and budgies in...

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

Green cheek conure

Hi! I’ve had my green cheek for about 6 months now and she is lovely. She cuddles up to me and will let me give her scratches on her head. But when I bring my hand close to her, her first instinct is to latch on to my finger and start chewing. Hard. It is incredibly painful, and she doesn’t let...

I have a green cheeked conure that I have had for about 2 months, and she is amazing. Everything is right with her, she's friendly, cuddly, doesn't bite but qirky as well. She really loves my company, and has bonded with me more than everyone else, she usually loves cuddling with me and jumps on...

I'm making a dedicated thread to how my GCC (named Climber) is constantly looking for things to bite. He has a toy that he usually stands on but apart from that he doesn't have anything else to bite (in my house), so he looks for random things within his reach to bite (even my computer mousepad...

Hi! So, I am completely new to parrots. Two days ago, I got a my first one. He is a 2-3 month old green cheek conure from my local pet store (I named him Alfie). The owner had lowered the price from $600 to $200, because Alfie was an aggressive biter and no one wanted him (He was the only one...

Hello I have two green cheek conures and in the summer I will go to at least 4 camps which I am actually sad about because I will miss my parrots soooo much. :02: But at that times my family will take care of them. But we will also go to programs together. I don’t know what to do with my parrots...

Hello! My Green Cheek Conure is 4 months old and he's a picky eater. He's on a seed diet and likes to eat apples. I tried feeding him vegetables multiple times, he licks it but doesn't eat it. Previously I tried feeding him hard-boiled eggs, but he doesn't like that either. Today I cooked him...

Hi All. New here, mainly looking to connect with other Macaw/Hahns owners as I get to know Max who came home today. (We were told it's a male, but I plan on having him DNA sexed to be sure.) Not sure yet if he's keeping that name, either way. We were told Max is around 2 years old. We also...

Green Cheek Conure The history of Green-cheeked conures The Green-cheeked conures have been kept as companion or farmed birds for decades. Documents attest to their captivity since the beginning of the 20th century. However as the adventure gradually turned from the menagerie into a serious...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, as well as green cheek conure ownership. I recently purchased 2 Green Cheek Conures, Skittles(3 Month Old) and Kiwi(Just under a year) I have had them for three days now. Skittles, the young one, started getting on top of Kiwi and rubbing, like he is...

Hello! I have taken in a green cheek conure named Romeo 3 weeks ago. He's a goofball and a sweetheart honestly, and he has adapted fast, caring for all members of the family. The thing is he clearly has a preference for my dad. He doesn't bite or anything but if my dad's in the room he prefers...

Hello! New to the forum, nice to meet you all!:p Hubby and I have 2 parrotlets and recently got a green cheek conure! (No name or DNA results yet). We were wondering about some behaviour and can't seem to find a straight answer. GCC is very well behaved, 3 months old. We notice when we have him...

I’m sure that I’m just not searching under the right terms but I can’t seem to get a clear idea of the whole molting process anywhere! I am a complete newbie when it comes to being a bird mom and am trying to educate myself as best as possible. I recently adopted a Green Cheek Conure that is...

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...

It has only started 2 days ago when my GCC (green cheek conure) started biting my hair. I wasn't concerned at first because it usually sits on my head while nibbling on hair. But this time, I could hear the chewing/grinding. When I checked, I saw that it had broke my hair and several strands of...

We currently have a bonded pair of Male green cheek conures (we're assuming they're male. They havent laid eggs in the 2 years we've had them). Our friend is looking to rehome a female green cheek. We're wondering if theres a safe way of introducing them and caging all three of them together...

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...

My green cheek conure keeps on sticking his head under things (bed sheet, couch covers, clothes etc) and making a noice that sounds a lot like he is crying. He is just over a year old and I’ve had him since he was about nine months. Is it normal for a conure to cry like that?

Hello! My beloved pets of a few years (Brazil and Zealand) have decided to pop out some eggs a second year in a row! Last year, all of their chicks died. This year, I am determined to ensure their health. As I was changing out the birds' bedding, they both came out of the nest box. Because of...

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: :)

Hi all, My 8 month old female GCC, Groovy, died suddenly while I was out of town for 2 nights and my mother was caring for her. On Monday, I cleaned all of her cages with and extremely low bleach solution before I left and she had been with me most of the day I had left (didn't leave the house...

Some of you have already heard about my new addition to the family, a Green Cheek Conure named Bongo. :gcc: My question: How many sunflower seeds do you think I should I limit her to, daily? Is there a safe number, or weight? Brief background pertaining to my question below: -She's adopted...

I am not a new parrot caretaker, but I am newly owned by one sassy little four year old Green Cheek, 'Bongo.' My previous bird was not a cuddler, and was in fact very hands-off. It was an entire year before he was even comfortable being touched at all, excluding his feet. He was an older rescue...

Hey, so I'm a first time bird owner and I've settled that a green cheek conure would fit perfectly into my lifestyle. I found a breeder near me, and he has adult green cheeks and babies. I've heard that getting a younger one is better due to it actually bonding with you. I just wanted to get a...

I am going to be moving in with someone who has cats so my bird Will be contained to a single room when I am at work She's a GCC. The room has little to no natural sunlight. Can anyone recommend to me a good sun lamp/ regular lamp to keep on my bird while I am out so she is not in the dark? Any...

Hey guys I got a new Green Cheek to join my 8yr old Green Cheek about 3 months ago now. She has settled in really well and quickly rules the roost in the cage haha. The new girl is about 7 months and poos A LOT... I'm struggling to remember any of my other birds pooing so much when they were...

Hi there! I just adopted a green cheek conure on Wednesday. She is very used to me as I work at the store I got her from. My question is, I live in an apartment, and I don't want her screaming while I'm at work tomorrow. It will be the first time she's home alone and I don't know how she's going...
