green cheek conure

Today marks a week since I brought Chloe home. Last night she was with me in the family room and took off from my shoulder over to the movies. That's when she said "Chloe bird. Chloe bird." How cool is that? I haven't made any attempt to teach her to talk and if she picks up on things that...

My green cheek loves everything we eat. he enjoyed and had fun playing and eating crawfish (after reading a ton of sites). Now i was wondering about other seafood? I was thinking shrimp? He will eat anything and everything we eat and if he doesnt like it, he will leave it alone. So I was curious...

I do not want to do anything huge, but Tango, my green cheek will be one year old next week. The cool thing, his hatch date is on our anniversary. We were wanting to do something fun and cool for the one year mark. We have new toys but i was wondering are there any treats that u can give them...

Hi my name's Richelle and I'm new to the parrot forum. A few months ago i lost my sun conure, Tikki. I bought him a new happy hut and he chewed it over night and got caught in the threads--he strangled on it. I have to say I know a lot of owners have happy huts for their birds but even the...

I have a one year old green cheek conure, got him at 6 months of age. Still can't tell if he is a boy or girl. I taught him to step up pretty easily. He's mimicking our words with sounds. I've heard something about clicker training? If someone could explain that to me. He will let me have his...

Hey name is Dennis and I own a soon to be one year old Green Cheek Conure named Tango. He is in his second time molting and I feel for him. Any suggestions on helping him be at ease? I occasionally break off his pin feathers to help but I noticed he is getting more nippy towards everyone so I'm...

so the store I work at received 2 nandays 2 weeks ago. They're so fun! I've introduced fresh foods and one just scarfs it down. The other just sort of picks at the food. They'll both step up when politely pushed, meaning I put my hand in front of them in the cage and reward them when they...

hi everyone! i finally got to bring home my baby yellow sided green cheek on tuesday. she's doing great :) she is on one hand feeding a day but has a ferocious appetite! tearing apart millet, pellets, seeds, & i even got her to eat grapes. im not sure of sex but i think personality wise she is a...

Well, he isn't really a baby. He was hatched September 23, 2012. He is a green cheek conure and sun conure hybrid( I know it's unusual but it was a mistake by the breeder). He bobs his head ALL THE TIME! Alot of the time it is while he is eating, playing or while im holding him. Any ideas? Here...

I shouldn't be shocked because I've read about it... but it's different when it actually happens in front of you... Prim was born early October 2011, the past two months she has been on a downward slope. She went from /never/ biting, to occasional moody nips, to now lunging at faces and hands...

Hi everyone! I'm kinda new to the whole bird caring thing, so far I love it. How I met her: It was Halloween, and I was just heading of to a party and all of a sudden there was this cute little bird chasing me. (It was dark so I thought it was a bat or something haha) So I was like starting to...

Hey, About 2 months ago I bought Cricket, my green cheek conure. He has been such a nice bird, learning step up and getting used to people. He's been doing really well getting used to us and being a generally lovely bird. Today however, completely out of the blue, hes been screaming?! like...

Hi everyone! I am 13 years old and my mom suggested I join this forum. I just purchased a baby green cheek conure/sun conure hybrid named Mr. Pickles:) I can't take him home until Christmas when he is fully weaned and feathered! So excited! :green2: Does that look like a sun conure/green cheek? Haha

Well, there's a new member of my family as of last night. A beautiful little Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure came home with me last night. She's a little scared of hands, but didn't seem to be afraid to crawl up on to my shoulder. She's already eating this morning, which I'm very happy about...

Hello, this is my first post on ParrotForums! For the past few months I have really wanted a bird. After some research and the help of my brother, I decided that the Green Cheek Conure is for me. My parents have agreed that they will help me with the financial component of caring for a bird...

Hey guys, I went by Petco today to check in on the conures they have. I know pet stores aren't usually the best place to buy from, but my options are very limited, and they're one of only 3 places within an hours drive I can actually see and interact with any potential future pets. The Petco has...

Hi everyone! My name is Manda and the hubby & I have a house full of Fids :) We have A Green Cheek Conure, Pepper & a Hahn's Macaw, Kiki. Also 2 Cats Sasha & Sam. A Hamster named Annabell plus 3 tropical Fish tanks We sure do have a full house :D

Hey everyone! So, im new to this site and this is my first thread but i actually have a question and i would love if you could help me out. :D so, im adopting a 4 year old Green Cheek Conure from his owners as they have become really busy and i was wondering, because it is 4 years old, is it...

I just got the most adorable baby gc. He's adjusted to his cage, runs back and forth at the bottom when he wants attention and we give it to him when he stops. But for some odd reason tonight when he fell asleep we had accidentally left the lights on. So we turned it off and he started going...

I have a gorgeous, about 10 year old Green Cheek Conure. My sister gave her to me about 6 years ago. She's very fiesty and sometimes even runs after people to bite them, and sticking your finger anywhere near her is out of the question, but she's always nice to me, never bites and even gives me...

Hello! So it's been about another month since I last posted about Dexter, my Green Cheek Conure. He still won't let me handle him, but he is definitely much fonder of me. I started with some basic training and he now is target trained, can say "pretty bird" (we think he was already taught...

Hey Everyone, So I recently posted about my Green Cheek Conure (Yoshi) who was going through a very nippy phase usually getting aggressive when she didn't get what she wanted. Now unfortunately for me it has turned into straight up attacking me! It's gotten to the point where I can't pick her...

Hey everyone! I am hoping someone here has some advice for me. I have a beautiful green cheek conure, I have had her for a few weeks now. Her name is Yoshi and she is a little over four months old. She is a very sweet bird, and she was already hand trained when we got her... but lately she she...

So about a month ago I bought a 7 year old green cheek conure from a friend of my roommate and I've been having some issues. I am relatively new to birds but my roommate who is fairly experienced and has a caique of her own has been helping me. Dexter, what I've been calling my green cheek...

As you might know one day I want a Green Cheek Conure. But probably the two things that are holding me back are biting and the fact that they go through a bad, bity stage and get all protective and stuff. Is this true? I dont want a bird that will only be sweet for the first little while...

Tasty!

Hey! just got a sweet little baby green cheek conure a few months ago. I named him Amigo and he is really smart, he already knows a few tricks and says a few phrases (of which I apparently can only understand lol). His favorite things to say right now is "what are you doing" and "what?" I...

Hey guys, I'm new to conures. I just acquired a six week old cinnamon green cheek and I'm currently hand feeding it the baby formula. (For those of you who already see a red flag, I have hand fed many different animals, both "feral" and domesticated. I was a student at a veterinary assisting...

I think I know I want a green cheek conure now (ive been doing a lot of GCC research in the past week or 2) but I have some more questions (still might want a parrotlet or cockatiel) Whats the youngest,and best age to get them at where they aere eating themselfs? How can you tell if its a boy or...

Hello from 2 conures and Momma! We're from Cleveland, OH, and happy to find new friends! Alice was our first conure, we've had her (not sexed) for 8 months, and she's 11 months old. She's a pineapple green cheek conure. She could be an easier conure if she tried! She had adapted very well to...

Hello everyone, I've had Darwin, a green cheek conure! for 2 years. Recently, just last week, he started chewing feathers. Never had an issue before. He gets hours outside his cage, frequent baths, toys, etc. He is well loved. He eats Harrison's and has since I brought him home. He gets...

This will be my first parrot, (I've owned smaller birds in the past) and I was wondering if anyone could help me out? It'll probably be a couple years before I get enough money to keep it, so at the moment I'm just researching. I'm 16 right now, done with high school, have a job, and not...

This is my first bird so I don't know much about molting... She is a green cheek conure and in random places where she chould have vibrant color, you can see little gray feathers. It's all over, her back and head mostly. I see one little pin feather. I have found maybe 6 feathers in the past...

Hi everyone - I lost my GCC, Abbie, two days ago at the ER Vet. I took her in for what appeared to be a seizure. We arrived after her episode had ended and she was in perfect form (dancing, talking, showing off, etc) so we assumed that we just needed to do a few simple tests to make sure...

Hi, im new to this forum i have a GCC conure that i have had for about a year now, but im still a little puzzled as to what to feed him. I took him to the vet, and the vet told me that he was under weight, & that i had to feed him more veggies and less fruits. The thing is that he wont have any...

Hello! My name is Jade and I have a Green Cheek Conure. I named him Moses because he has a grey head and I thought I would teach him the 10 commandments when he gets older. He was a gift to me and I don't know how to take care of him. I love him a lot but I feel like if I can, I should find a...
