gcc

I have 2 parakeets currently (well actually my girlfriends), but they are bonded and dont really want anything to do with me. I was looking to get a bigger bird maybe small to medium sized within the next year and looking for help deciding. Right now I'm thinking something like a green cheek...

I've been told several times that starting a "training journal" would be a good way to document all of his misbehaviors and try to retrain them when I know exactly what is causing them. So here's Cooper's training thread, and I hope having two separate journals (one here and one on my blog) will...

The last couple of weeks I've been frazzled because I only find the banana-shaped pieces from his pellet in his water dish. (Of course the rest are on the floor and everywhere but being digested.) So I sat and watched him a few days ago. I would pretend to type on my computer and I'd look over...

As many of you know I got Cooper the GCC on December 1st. I had no idea the situation he was coming from until I've spent more time with him. Most of the time he's okay, but I have a few things I get irritated with that he does, no matter how I try to get him to stop. 1 THE BITING I'm not...

As many of you know I brought Cooper the GCC home on Thursday night. I noticed right away that he hates when I touch his cage near the door. He tries to nip at my fingers. What I've been doing to solve this problem is holding up my inhaler (because he doesn't know what it is) and he backs away...

I decided to move everything Cooper-related to a new thread, because I didn't want people getting confused about what kind of bird I brought home. Let's recap all of the events that led up to me going and getting Cooper tonight from a woman who lives in Denver. (I've ordered them chronologically...

I was looking through some bird blogs that I follow and found this awesome guide to green cheek color mutations! It certainly helped me and I hope it helps everyone else! Also, moon cheek conures are so pretty!

As some of you already know, between the 1st & 15th of December I'm going to Denver to pick up my new GCC baby Cooper! (He's 7 1/2, he bites (not a problem for me), he can already say a few things when he's bonded to someone, and he's a traditional GCC - I believe.) I've been heavily researching...

Hi everyone! I've had my adorable yellowside green cheek conure for about 2 weeks. She's about 5 months. She warmed up to myself and my boyfriend at about the 4-5 day mark of having her. She hesitates or refuses to step up a lot, but I usually use treats to convince her to and she complies...

I've always been unhappy with the cage I used to transport Lawrence in-- it's pathetically small and Lawrence doesn't like it at all-- so I decided to upgrade to something a bit more swish :) This is the 19'' Suncast pet carrier, and it's fantastic! Lawrence is happy to spend time in it having...

My lil dude has been doing quite well! Step up training went great. He is going through his nippy stage currently but don't they all haha. Anyway, the only naughty thing is he will not stop shaking his water dish!! He doesnt do it to the food ones. He grabs onto the side of the water...

So I've had Tango (gcc) for over four months now, and he has become fairly accustomed to the sights and sounds of my household's daily activities. However, for some reason, today he has been a flighty scared mess all day long and I'm not sure why. He is used to seeing things moved around because...

Hello!!:greet13: I'm a newbie Conure mom. We just got our first GCC yesterday. He's 9wks old. We're still working on a name:D He knows how to step up,he's not afraid of hands, etc. He has been completely fine with me reaching in his cage to change his food/water, move perches around. He seems to...

:gcc1::)Hello! I just want to start off this post by saying that I absolutely LOVE :heart::heart: birds and I honestly don't know what I would do without my feathered friends! I'm so thrilled to have joined this website where I can be around other bird lovers like myself! I've been around birds...

I've been on the AA forums and quite active on them, but I want to formally introduce myself and my feathered kid. His name is Rascal, he's a turquoise GCC. He's very playful, and smart (even though he doesn't like to listen.) I got him on Monday last week, and he's doing much better than at...

Okay this might be a long post so I will try to keep it short. I bought a GCC back in June to be my bird. I bought him from a petco store because he was in poor health and it broke my heart to see him in a small tank with nothing to do all day. So I purchased him and all his necessary supplies...

Hi all! I have a cockatiel as well as a pineapple gcc, and a dog. Anyways both birds have their own cages and the dog is kennelled in the night time. Both birds are really part of the family, they are aloud to do pretty much whatever they want to do while we are home within our rules and will...

I have a bottle of freeze dried meal worms that I bought for my turtle (who recently passed away), so I was reading the packaging and it says it's okay for birds, reptiles, and fish. I let my GCC have a little bite and he wanted more so he enjoyed it. Is it okay for me to give him a few every...

So in the mornings, I change all the water and whatnot for the babies. This morning, I felt rather ill so was in bed for maybe an hour more then usual. So trying to be nice, my brother(bless his heart) tried to change water for me while I was asleep. Doing so, he forgot the little latch that...

Hey all! My pineapple GCC Gigi makes this strange noise and none of my searches online explain it... the only thing that it might be is tongue clicking from what I've read? It's a quiet little 'poping' noise she makes with her beak. Sometimes while she's sitting on my hand and happily fluffed...
