- Alice: 1+ (almost 2) y/o pineapple GCC || Drake: 1+ y/o black capped conure
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 living with us, but a few months ago, she started getting a little restless and rough. She was constantly playing with us (which is an absolute joy), but her neediness went to extremes where she would scream like crazy if you weren't in the same room. She would often fly to follow us, which made us worry she would potentially hurt herself. We have plenty of time to spend with her, and do, but we considered a companion to slow her down. When she was 8 months old, we got the companion!
Drake is our second conure, whom has been with us 3 months and is 8 months old. He (also not sexed) is a black capped conure and couldn't be quirkier. I, truly, think we should have waited to get him or kept looking. Though he is very loved and very cared for, he has a lot to learn. When we got him, they informed us they had a couple clutches at once and admittedly haven't been able to handle all of them as much as they should. This was merely mentioned in casual conversation, and I think his cuteness muffled that a little. It's very apparent he didn't get as much attention as Alice did when we bought her from exotic bird store. I will be posting questions regarding his behavior and am open to all tips and advice. He is a total monkey, really intense, and loves pomegranate seeds!
Thanks for being here and giving out advice, sharing stories, and coming together as a big feathery community!

We have a black cap as well, just wanted to let you know though, black capped conures are actually their own species, not a form of green cheek
