green cheek

I've had my green cheek conure Cosmo for about 2 months now, and I love her to death! I've always loved birds and now that I'm in a house without a cat I can comfortably have another bird (I used to have a sparrow and I was always worried about the cat getting in my room while I was away). But...

My pineapple Green Cheek starting making an odd sound, as if he's trying to clear his sinuses, about a month ago. I noticed it after sharing some peanut butter (natural, no added sugar) one morning, and thought he might just be trying to clear any remnants stuck to his upper mandible. No more...

I've had Ollie for about 8 months- he turned one in December. After the initial warm up phase, and occasional mood swings/nippiness- he was wonderful. He would sit on my shoulder and do everything with me around the house. Around February- I walked in his room that morning, and everything was...

:rainbow1: Im deciding between a pineapple green cheek and a normal green cheek. the pineapple seems prettier to me, but the i like the normal green cheek's personality better.:rainbow1:

I'm getting a green cheek soon, I wanted to know the size of cage I should get for him because, like my budgie, he'll have free reign of the house and his cage will be open all the time, so what size should I get for him? Also, any pointers for a Conure beginner like me would be nice.

I have a rather unique question to ask. First off a quick background, I have agoraphobia and almost never leave my house. When I do leave my home, I always bring a pet with me to help keep me calm and reduce panic attacks. I have recently come across a video of a Cockatoo that is a registered...

I just got Kermit about a week ago. He's 12 weeks old and such a sweet baby <3 But I've noticed he seems to itch a lot, particularly around the skin of his eye. I've looked closely at his skin and nearby feathers but don't see any inflamation or anything that would indicate mites (unless...

I've had my pineapple green cheek, Shado, for over a year now, and soon I'm bringing home a new cinnamon green cheek, Charlotte. She's a baby, so I had to wait for her to be weaned, thankfully, she should be able to come home in a week or so. I've heard some people say to quarantine Charlotte...

I'm getting a cinnamon green cheek conure from a pet store that I trust (I got my other green cheek from there over a year ago). She's just a baby, so I've been waiting about 2 months to take her home and soon I can. Today when visiting her, I noticed that the skin around her eyes was slightly...

I am going to use this post for videos of my girl from now on... Birdie Puberty? - YouTube gaaaah she just melts my heart. She went from being not cuddly anymore to suddenly super cuddly. I actually rushed her to the vet because I thought she was sick! Turns out she is just starting her molt...

Hello everybody! So I have a question that I'm hoping those of you with similar situations can weigh in on. My girlfriend and I are planning on moving in together (yay!). She has a 7 year old green cheek (Tiki) and 5 parakeets that would be coming along with her. After spending so much time...

Hello! I am new to parrot forums and to conure ownership, and would love some advice about raising a happy, healthy feathered friend. My boyfriend and I purchased JoJo, a very young green Cheek conure (max 10 weeks old) from a breeder 2 days ago. Long story, but this was not a conure breeder...

hello all! so Ive had my turquoise gcc for a while now and hes really cute and playful but a total like brat lol, but i want to know if its natural if he doesnt let me preen him still. he likes to wrestle and play hard, but he is also very cuddly and like to play under the blankets and what...

ok so i had a visitor close the door on my green cheeks foot, not all the way closed but it was enough to draw blood and make him scream :( i am so upset. and the vet is closed, he can still use his foot, can walk and climb, but is constantly on one leg untill he needs to use both, there is not...

Hello to Parrotforums! It is nice to meet all of you. The reason I came is to learn as much as I can about caring for and training green cheek conures. I don't have my own bird, but I live with my sister (who is never home) and she has a two year old, male, cinnamon green cheek named Leif that...

Hello my name is Dorian and I had a love bird when I was younger. It was hand fed and I don't remember it being really afraid of me. It was my second bird because the one that was originally sold to me was so sweet and tame but died like a week later from unknown sources so they gave me the...

My green cheeked conure Zazu has been laying eggs for a while now. She recently just had her 7th egg. How many more should I expect? Thanks!

ive had my male green cheek for about just over 2 months, he is almost 4 months old. i am trying so hard to teach him while he is a baby. but he just refuses to poo in his cage. usually i have to take him out and tell him "go poo" on the neswspaper on the table, sometimes he will or sometimes he...

Sorry if I'm a total newb.. -.- anyway, I have two sun conures and a baby green cheeked conure. Tikko is the baby, he doesn't have a cage, I mean, well, he does.. He just hated it so I put it away. He lives in my closet (I'll show a picture) and sleeps in his carrier, I bring him everywhere with...

This is Yoshi. Yoshi has had a head full of pinfeathers for about two months now. I know some people take the keratin sheaths off for their parrots, since they can't exactly reach them themselves. I also know some birds preen each other and remove them. 1. Yoshi hates other birds. 2. Yoshi...

so as some of you may know , i visited the pet shop today , and instead of a conure , blue fronted amazon , or eclectus , i fell inlove with a chattering lory here in brazil they are called , loris amor amor , he was screaming for my attention , and even stepped up onto my hand , the breeder...

Hi I am new to forum, I just brought home a baby green cheek conure, she is three months old, she has adjusted well, very cuddly and loving and has a very large cage. I wanted to know if I could introduce a crimson bellied baby in one month and they be kept together in the same cage. I live in a...

I recently brought 5 week old green cheek home to finish hand feeding. The first few days while he was getting used to his new environment he was very quiet in and outside of his nesting box. He's now 7 weeks, in a large container with a smaller closed warm box inside, and a light that points...

He has only ever been around men, but has grown quite attached to me. He nests in my hair, mocks all my noises, and even screeches when I'm not around. He is a lot smaller than the average green cheek, and started out a a breeder. When I first got him, I had his wings clipped at a local pet...

I've had my green cheeks for over a month now. I get my bird out everyday she comes out her cage fine now, but I can't do anything with her if I try and pet her she bites, she will sit on my hand but she constantly tries to get to my head then when I stop her or get her down she bites and holds...

Can someone please help, my green cheek is really aggressive when in her cage. She will put one foot on me then bite me really hard. Atm I take my hand away then n try again and eventually she does give me two feet but it takes like half hour? Once she is out she is generally fine unless I let...

So, my green cheek, Toots, started acting sick about a week and a half ago. At first I thought she had something contagious, like a cold, but she only acted lethargic for a day before she snapped out of it. Everything went back to normal for a few days, until during the night, she fell from her...

So Oliver has always screamed for me when I leave the room or come home from somewhere. This isn't much of an issue because the birds are upstairs and you can only sort of hear them when the door is closed. However in the mornings they wake me up with the screaming and I'd like to try to train...

So I have a breeding pair of GCC's and up until today I thought they were both male until I found two eggs in a nest box. I have two boxes in their aviary, a large and a smaller but deeper one. The male sits in the smaller box all the time, and sometimes the female during the night. Should I...

So I've been trying clicker training and she HATES the sound. It makes her really aggressive. I tried muffling it a lot but to no avail. I suppose I'll just use the word good or something but I really like how precise the clicker is. Anyways she bites when I put my hand in her vicinity and when...

Is this just a result of bad breeding? By which I mean straying from the 'norm' of what yellow sideds are known to look like. Or could it signify that he has a split? I'm pretty sure splits aren't usually 'visible' though. I did get him from someone who I suspect was a bird broker (way back...

Hi! I just recently came into possession of a Green Cheek Conure named Tico. At least that's what he responds to. We call him Tico Banderez. He is a rescue from a home where he was starting to bond with another bird, who was famous for drawing blood from kids younger than five. They didn't want...

Hello! I'm new to this forum but I've had my GCC Oliver for almost 4 years. I got him the day before Halloween my Freshman year of High School and graduated in June! I even skipped Halloween that year because I just couldn't let him out of my sight. If you knew me you'd know dressing up in...

I am a new bird owner. My friend was no longer able to care for her 2 year old green cheek so I adopted him. She said he was very sweet and shy. I have had him for almost a week. I am able to have him walk on my arms and shoulders but he still bites me if I try to pet him, as well as if anyone...

Hi everyone! I have an adorable little green cheek that I brought home about 2 months ago. Ducky and I were instant friends from the moment I saw her. She loves to be with me and when I'm home, we eat together, watch tv together and when I'm doing things around the house like feeding the cat...
