    Skittish Blue Crown Conure

    Hello! I got my BC back in february. She’s 3 years old, spent her entire life in a cage in a pet store with minimal human interaction/handling. When i got her she was terrified and wouldn’t eat or drink for like a week, so i set up a camera above her cage to keep an eye on her and would give her...

    Travel Carrier Training?

    Hi all, I have a 5 year old GCC named Beepers. For the past two years that I've had her, she's hated travel carriers. At first, I used one of those backpack ones, which she just despised. I thought maybe she would like one that looks more like a cage - and she kind of did - until I dared to...

    GCC biting fingers! Training advice?

    I recently brought home a 5 month old green cheek. He’s been really good so far… except for the fact that any time there’s fingers near his feet, he bites HARD! He doesn’t seem to be afraid of hands. He happily accepts treats, head scritches, and will even rub his head against me if he wants...

    7yo GCC suddenly hates my right upper extremity only

    So, I'm out of ideas on how to fix this one. I have a hypothesis on why my right hand appears to have committed a crime, but am no closer to a solution. Bear with me as I do a full biopsychosocial assessment of my birds' wellbeing issues Context: I have a [female] GCC, Jerry, who is about 7yo...

    Can canaries and conures be put together?

    I recently got a request from a friend saying her cousin is looking to re-home two canaries. I would love to but I have a green cheek conure. I was wondering if it's possible to have them in the same room (housed in separate cages) together. I ket my conure out of his cage most of the day and...

    beak size?

    um, weird and somewhat random question: do different mutations within GCCs have different beak sizes? i’ve noticed that Spunky (my pineappale) has a larger beak than Ollie (my turquoise) - is this my eye tricking me? or maybe its because one has a lighter coloured beak? google didnt help much...
