    Thoughts on biting punishment?

    My GCC has been super duper nippy lately, all I’ve been doing is putting her back in her cage whenever she’s getting too aggressive but it seems like it doesn’t make a difference. I’m currently trying to see if it’s items I have on my body that make her frustrated(I.e my glasses, she gets...

    Sunken Crop??? Please help!

    Is this even a thing? My female conure has been acting weird and her crop seems to not be filling though she seems to be eating fine. She seems hungry but can't seem to make up her mind what she wants to eat and has been doing an excessive amount of beak wiping, and she keeps regurgitating after...

    New conure owner here.

    I have a 4 year old green cheek Conure I adopted a couple weeks ago. We have some biting problems but seems like we are on the way to bonding. The last couple days when she's been out of her enclosure I've noticed a new behavior! Just want to make sure I'm safe with this and it's just a cute way...

    Hi we have adopted a 3 year old GC conure called Gerald. I've let him out a lot in the last 6 weeks (we've had him) and we've been playing in the kitchen. He has a massive thing for spoons and forks but I noticed he got really aggressive about the cutlery drawer. Now he's banned, but he's...

    Agressive Baby?

    Picking up my Dusky Conure in July, he is a bit mouthy and adventurous. He also puffed up and opened his mouth, but didn't bite and then he went back to exploring. I've never had a baby parrot before only adults; so I was wondering if it's normal behavior or will he be agressive?

    Pictures Happy fluff?

    I got Niko last Saturday, and hes really sweet when I hold him. But, it has to be his idea to get on me. At the store, he was pretty good at step up, but at home he tends to sit fluffed up on his cage and coo at me. (Not sure if coo is the right word, but this is my first bird) However, if I try...

    Help? Extremely clingy GCC

    I’ve recently found my bestfriend! A little male GCC, who I’ve named Atlas! he’s two months old and has such an adorable little personality. He doesn’t bite often, and is fairly quiet. The only issue I’m having is he has to be with me 24/7. If I am home and not with him, he paces the...

    Multiple chirps?

    My green cheek conure chirps ALOT. (I am just going to say he because I haven’t got the gender results back) He chirps every second. He is still a baby so could that have something to do with it? He chirps like this when he eats, is going to sleep, is in his cage, is out of his cage. It’s 3 or 4...

    New Conure Problem

    Hello guys, I recently got a GCC. This morning I tried changing his food and water, but he won’t let me open his cage doors. He will quickly run to the side of the cage that I am near and try to but my finger so that I won’t open it. What should I do?

    Regurgitation?

    Hello all! Question - I sometimes want to take my gcc, Zelda, in the shower with me just so she’s not alone (she doesn’t like when I leave the room without her). The first time I did it, she was fine. The second and third time, she was regurgitating. My sister always took her African grey in...

    Conure quacking

    Hello! So recently my boyfriend and I have been getting some new noises out of Zelda (our GCC), and trying to figure out what they mean. One noise in particular that she’s done since we got her a few weeks ago is the low “quacking” noise. She does it all the time. I decided to look it up to...
