Hello! Is this cage setup okay for a young GCC? I'm getting my birb this weekend and I would like some reassurance/feedback on my setup for his cage! This is not the only area with toys (I have a whole other play area set up), so this is not going to be the only toys he gets. Would this setup be...

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...

This ceramic heater looks pretty safe for use in my bird room but would anyone mind confirming that? I appreciate the help I'm so paranoid I'm going to purchase something that will hurt my bird. I don't see any signs of Teflon in this...

I just officially moved into my house (house was built in 1948) but my green cheek conure and parakeet have been here for a couple days. Today I woke up and discovered ants in my bird room! I've collected information online - how to kill ants and such, however, I am extremely nervous about...

Hi guys! I recently posted about Athena's (gcc) eyes being reddish. Well it turned blue, purple, red, so obviously, I took her to the vet today. The vet is called Graf Doktor Állatorvosi Rendelője (dr graf's vet clinic) and I took my last budgie here, who sadly ended up passing the day after...

I am currently looking for a new owner for my 14-year-old GCC named Joey. Joey is my best friend but unfortunately, my mother and I are suffering from serious health problems (unrelated to Joey in any way) and can no longer take good care of Joey. It breaks my heart to put him up for adoption...

Hi friends, I have a breeding question about Green Cheek Conures. my friend has a pair of GCC and they currently hatched 5 babies. The male is a pineapple, and the hen is mint. We were searching for the result of their offsprings and got very confused at the end. First, we thought since the...

Hello! So excited i found this forum. I am still relatively new to birds. I brought home my first cockatiel (Kevin Yellow pictured below) and immediately became obsessed and within months bought him a friend (Tina Grey Cockatiel Pictured below) My bird home did not feel complete and my husband...

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...

Hi Friends! I'm running into some nail trimming troubles with my four year old Pineapple Conure, Duck. I have been trimming her nails since I brought her home at three months old. I have never hit her quick, and I try my best to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible. I wrap her in...

Hello there! I am brand new to the forum and excited to meet some other bird families. our home has 2 GCC (normal and yellow side) named Crackers and Tiko and 1 wild green budgie named Crouton. I have always wanted to own a larger bird, but the GCCs tend to remind me how much more work a larger...

Hello! We had recently lost our amazing little conure, so we decided to adopt another that was in need of a home. We have had this little one for about 4 days now, and this is our second conure. This baby is 8 months old, currently clipped wings (we will not be reclipping) and today it is...

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...

Hello friends! I've had my gcc for 10 years and at the end of November she started sounding sniffly. Since then she has done two rounds of clavamox enrofloxacin and metacam and been nebulized regularly. We've also replaced all fabric toys and gotten an air filter and humidifier. We moved into an...

I have had my GCC Kiwi (M) for a year and a few months now he is 1 and a half years old. Most playful talkative parrot I’ve seen he is also my first bird. Me and my girlfriend were away for a couple trips and had a close friend and my mom check up on him, 4 budgies, and a cockatiel while we were...

Last night I read a post on here which gave me the confidence to come out and type all of this, so I'd like to preface my questions with a bit of an explanation. I've been struggling with severe anxiety for a few years now, but I haven't shared this with anyone other than my boyfriend. It...

Hello everyone! :hello1: I have a question for GCC veterans. We had a lovely GCC for 18 years before he passed away in 2018. Loving the spunky and confident green cheek personality, enter Kiwi the Pineapple GCC hatched in 2018 from a reputable breeder. Even after he adjusted to the household...

I got my GCC about a month ago, and he rarely flies- only when he's spooked. He won't willingly fly anywhere- I've tried luring him with treats, and I can tell he really wants to fly but he just won't. He isn't clipped and doesn't have any history of injuries. I really want him to be able to fly...

I'm planning on buying an air purifier and was wondering if there's anything I need to look out for, or if any one will do. I see a lot of things about ions and honestly I have no idea what any of it means.
