green cheeck conure

Hi all, my almost 5 month GCC appears to be molting. I am concerned because it seems so young. He’s been losing a fair amount of the fluffy down feathers for no apparent reason (no plucking, and even when he’s not grooming). Behavior wise he doesn’t seem out of the ordinary- sleeping as usual...

I just recently took in a young conure (born in January 2023). I am not sure of his color as I am sure it’s more dull than its supposed to be with the evidence of black barring. It is super friendly but a little skittish. I have gotten him to step up onto my fingers with using safflower seeds...

Hi just want to share my new bird. Don't have a name and don't know the sex but I just go with he until I know lol. Apparently he's a high red pineapple green cheek conure so a type of mutation from a cinnamon and yellow sided according to the internet. He's 2 months old and a very sweet bird I...

Hello! I have a bit of a weird situation. I have 3 green check conures that are bonded together. What I thought were 2 males and 1 female, have laid 10 eggs. 5 are fertile and 5 infertile. 2 (1 confirmed DNA tested female) are acting the same while the male (not DNA tested but witnessed...

Hi everyone, I was a green cheek conure, he’s 13 and last year he has started plucking during his hormonal seasons. His feathers are growing back but I noticed something that I’m not sure is normal. This is the first time he plucked so high up that the air sac is exposed (I think this is what it...

My Pineapple conure is 7 weeks old. Currently I'm handfeeding him the formula once every evening. During the day I feed him vegetables and fruits. But he will eat less of the vegetables and would be more interested in eating seeds. The problem is he won't stop making this "Screech Screech"...

How safe is it to share little niblets from my dinner with my green cheek conure? I don't ever do this because I'm very cautious when it comes to my pets, but I've caught my boyfriend on numerous occassions sneaking her little bites of his food. He knows what she absolutely CANNOT (alcohol...

I was considering buying pellets for my conure. But most of the top brands don't ship in my country except zupreem. I read some reviews about it. The reviews are not as I expected. I'm concerned about them causing any health issues to my conure. Kindly give me feedbacks if you have used Zupreem...

Hi everyone, My Pineapple Conure (Coco) turned 6 weeks old yesterday and entered the 7th week. When he was about 5 weeks old I started introducing soft food like soaked mung beans and Cooked Chickpeas. He loves to eat mung beans. On reaching 6th week I started introducing fruits like apple...

Hi I'm Sasikumar. I'm a new pineapple conure owner and he is around 5 weeks old and on handfeeding. I have a previous experience of owning budgies. My conure (Coco) was initially a bit noisy. Whenever I used to get him out to hand feed, he will be very noisy. Yesterday while he was trying to get...

Hey guys! I’ll admit, I’ve been very stressed out lately. I’ve been having a lot of health issues (physical AND mental) which led to me realizing that I need to step up my game when it comes to caring for my green cheek Conure, Momiji (Momo). This is gonna be a LONG one, so thank you in advance...

Hi all! My GCC has had a happy hut for 9 years now. It's canvas on the outside and some fluff on the inside. I've trimmed off most of the fluff a long time ago and he only uses it for sleeping and doesn't chew on it, however, I still prefer to consider alternate solutions occasionally because I...

Hello and Happy New Year! I've been peeking at this forum for a while and finally decided to join! I only have one bird, my little Green Cheek Conure, Roger! She just turned 8 years old, and she's the cutest lil loud thing. I got her when she was about 3 months old, and they said she was a...

My Green Cheek Conure’s room doesn’t get as much light as I would like. I’m thinking about adding some kind of supplemental Lighting, because I feel that it would improve his mood and appetite/general wellbeing. Avian specific lights might be good? I’m thinking of angling it so it kind of hovers...

Hi, I am new to the group and this is my first post. I have had birds for a long time and think I know their body language pretty well. I have a new Green Cheek Conure, he’s 12 weeks old. He’s been hand reared but I don’t think handled too much so he is hand tame. Not silly tame. The baby...

Hello! I adopted my Green Cheek Conure, Sparky, 2 years ago from my sister. He doesn't get along well with other people, and was attacking me a LOT in the beginning. But I finally got him to get comfortable around me to the point where we cuddled every night. But a couple months ago I got them...
