I am very new to these forums, finally decided to make an account after browsing for a couple of hours about people's stories about their feathered companions and I figured I would share mine. I have 2 friends right now, a Pineapple GC Conure (just got him yesterday :p) and a white and blue Budgie named Alphonse (He had a brother named Edward, who recently passed :( ). I have owned many birds growing up and each of them was a different experience for me.

I am 22 and currently enlisted, and just recently finished my degree as a Vet Technician (hopefully will be putting it to very good use once my time in the military is up :D )

I recently just purchased a Pineapple Conure and only had him for a day and a half and I will say that he is by far THE best avian I have owned. So loving and a huge cuddlebug right off the bat, which surprised me a lot, however he does have a bit of a nipping issue that is slowly being trained to quit (He doesn't bite hard, just enough to leave a small dent in my skin LOL!). I love him to pieces!

I hope to learn a lot from many of you! :42::42:

Welcome to the forum!!!! Thanks for protecting our country!!!!

Your baby is precious!!! :)
 
Not a problem!!! Do you have any names thought of yet????
 
Hi,

Not meaning to be rude but your green cheek is actually a yellow sided not a pineapple, the pineapple green cheeks have a very pale head. :)

And welcome to the forum.

Your green cheek is very pretty. :D
 
Welcome!!
My Birdy Daddy is in the US Navy. Thank you for your service to our country :)
 
Thanks for joining! Welcome! Looking forward to hearing stories about your new gcc!
 
Welcome to the forum, CheshireGrymm! And I'd also like to thank you for your service to our country. It's deeply appreciated.

And that's a beautiful conure you have, there. Any pics of your budgie?

@BirdyMomma: Your "Birdy Daddy"? Absolutely hilarious! Made me bust out laughing in this very quiet bus. But the sidelong glances were worth it for the laugh.
 
Hello, welcome. Nice bird.
 
Welcome! Thank you for your service to our country. My son is in the Air Force. Your bird looks like a real little charmer!
 
Hello and welcome! Your bird is adorable and looks like quite the character:) I'd also love to see pictures of Alphonse!
I also want to say thank you for your service:)
 
Yeah, Anansi, were not married, so he's just the Birdy Daddy, and I'm his Birdy Momma!

Thank you everyone for your support! It means a lot to me. I have a couple of pictures of Alphonse getting ready for bed. My yellow-sided gcc really is quite the comedian! I honestly had no idea he was a yellow-sided until earlier this morning when my neighbor pointed it out! Lol! :):rainbow1::whiteblue:
