Hello from Colorado

[hmbrock]

Hi, My name is Heather. I just joined the forum. My husband surprised me with a green cheek conure about two weeks ago. I had fallen in love with her at the pet store. Her name is Molly and she is 4 months old. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. So, I am a stay at home mom to six humans, two dogs and now one green cheek.

I haven't had a bird for 20 years and I have missed it ever since. My first bird was a graduation present from my grandma. He was a Quaker named Sinbad. At the time I thought it was a crazy gift, but I fell in love with him. Sadly, I had to give him up because I had no time to spend with him and he was lonely. There's been a void in my heart ever since.

So that's some of my story. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from you fellow bird lovers! Glad to be here.

Awww, Molly and Vivian are both so beautiful! Thank you for sharing

What a pair or beautiful ladies! My 3 yr old loves our GCC too...they are such great birds. So much personality in a little gorgeous green package!

 

[Terry57]

I love that second picture so much!

 

[hmbrock]

Yes, Molly is a great kisser! And obviously, Vivian has gotten over her initial fear of her. My oldest daughter learned the hard way that Molly has to be in the mood for kissing, though. Otherwise you get a fat lip instead.

Yay for Vivian.
How can you tell if Molly's in a kissing mood btw?

 

[hmbrock]

Well, if she's not she squawks, and then will bite if you get to close. If she is, she makes kissy noises and leans in.

Thank you, I'm glad to have found this forum. I suppose you are right about that. Although, this time we did pick each other before my husband gifted her. I still consider myself very lucky.

A beautiful fid AND kid! 2 gorgeous girls you have there! You will have so much fun with your little GCC. you'll have to keep us posted with pics. What do the dogs think about her?

 

[hmbrock]

I'm pretty sure my golden retriever thinks she's a snack. But my older dog keeps her distance. She's not sure what to think, but she knows it's something that belongs to mom. Molly is never out of her cage unsupervised so I'm not worried about the dogs getting her.
