Monumental moment and color change?

[LoveMyConlan]

A while a back a rehomed 2 of my gcc's due to major Aggression with the 1. Recently I got them back. Mind you this one male Gcc I couldn't even attempt to touch without blood dripping. He was rehomed with his best bud for a few months to a friend who's son seemed to click with him.

When I brought them back home I was actually able to get Luca to step up.... No biting.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW AMAZING THAT MOMENT WAS!!!!!! I was so excited I cried! This was a baby I drove 6 hours to get from a breeder because I wanted a Turquoise. And from day 1 he hated me. I got him after weaning and it was a battle from the start. To be able to even get him to step up was so freaking awesome!!!

Also.... The same Turquoise used to be blue..... However now he seems more green with blue tint. So gcc's tend to change color?

No they usually don't, but it could be that his adult plumage is healthier than his first feathers and has a slightly different tint as a result. If he was aggressive as a baby that's a huge red flag that something went wrong with the breeder and I wouldn't be surprised if his health was poor during that time.

He was fantastic with her! She sent me all his baby photos and info and showed many photos of him on her hand.

It was just me for some reason. With others he wasn't so nasty... But me? No matter what I did out tried he just wouldn't come around. So when he seemed to click with my friends son, I let them go.

He's going to college and can't take them so they came back to me. I think it maybe he just needed someone he clicked with to get him on the habit of less aggressive behavior, and stepping up continuesly, before he finally got over it

Here's hoping he stays that way lol. If not, he's still stuck with me.

I know it was in no way your intention, but perhaps he took it as a lesson learned and will be better behaved from now on. I don't remember who, but I recall a similar story from one of our other members about their bird acting out, they decided to rehome, the rehoming didn't work out and when they decided to bring the bird back home, the bird was well behaved from then on. In any case, glad he's home and glad he's decided to be your friend now
