    Off Mornings?

    Howdy all - my 6 yr old GCC Beepers had an off morning today. To start with - vet has already been contacted and appointments set! For some background, she comes out every morning when I wake up at 6 so she can get about 45 min to an hour out before I have to leave for work (which has been...

    So it's been a week. Little guy is making huge steps (he learned "step up" and "come here" perfectly)! I do, however, want to know if some of his behaviour is normal or smth I should eventually work on with him (he's about 5 months old now, so I'm scared of letting him keep unpleasant...

    How do I teach my little conure to play with his toys?

    So June is on his day 2 with us. Yesterday he spent hours playing with his foraging game we set up, we managed to teach him some simple commands, and he was all-around a great birb. This morning he started out cute, ate his breakfast well, and then bit my ear so hard I thought it was going to...

I seem to only come here when I need to vent, lol, but nobody IRL understands how difficult parronting is. :wacky: I rescued my pineapple GCC Beepers about... oh, three or four years ago now?

    New GCC parent asking for feedback on cage setup

    Hey guys! Nervous new bird parent here (going to get my baby this weekend!), and I'm hoping to get some feedback on my cage setup! I can't tell if this is okay amount of toys, not enough toys, or too much toys (overstimulating)... I also have a whole play area prepared, so this wouldn't be the...

    Hormonal conure

    So my pineapple conure started doing this thing, whenever she's standing on my chest or head or shoulder, that she starts flapping her wings, and screeching like when she's mad. She did it today too, but she just laid flat, amd started flapping her wings, without the screeching, but she wasnt on...

    Conure toe hurt

    So her cage can be opened at the top, and I was about to put her in the cage so I could take a nap, amd the top was opened, when she started chewing the cage, and it fell closed, and her toe got stuck between the cage door and the cage. It usually has a perch between the two openings, so it...

    GCC troubles

    Hi everyone!! I have a Green cheek conure, Athena, who I've talked about before being too clingy. Now, I found out a way to be able to "get her off me", I just lay my head on whatever surface I want her to stand on, and she (most of the time) gets off. Now my only problem is that for the life of...

    Difficulty finding a trustworthy GCC breeder in Midlands UK

    Hi, I've been trying for the last couple weeks to find a hand reared Green Cheek within a 2 hour drive of Nottingham UK. The larger sites just seem to have re-homed connures and adverts for pet stores which I want to avoid. I've tried the better sites like Birdtreck and Birdtrader but there...

    What bird should I get?

    Hi everyone. I have been researching and wanting a bird for years but haven’t wanted to rush into it as I know they require a lot of attention. I took in my grandmothers budgie a few years ago - he was completely untamed, but I managed to tame him, and before he died (he was quite old but not...

    Hello, I just got this idea now after I’ve just asked a question on another category so don’t mind me haha. I’m going to build a custom bird cage at some point and want to make it look and act as a conure’s natural habitat. I know that conures can be floor dwellers, picking seeds and bits of...
