    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...

    Should I get my conure a friend?

    Hi :) I had two green cheek conures, Rio and Coco. Unfortunately, Rio passed away around three weeks ago, leaving Coco by herself. Rio was a very quiet bird who enjoyed being with Coco. He was not fully trained and was quite scared of humans, so he would always follow Coco around the house and...

    I have two green cheek conures. One is Rico, who is almost 2. Pina is about 10 months right now. So, Rico never plucked when I got him back in december. He was lonely during the day when I was at work so I introduced him to his partner, Pina. They love each other very much (playing, eating...

    Need advice

    My green cheeked conure will not eat her pellets. I don't know what to do she takes a minute per pellet and doesn't even always chew them. I don't even think she's able to successfully eat them. She can crush a few of them or she drops it and tries a different pellet. I thought the pellets may...

    Biting Conure

    I have an 8 month old green cheek conure and shes a cuddle bug. She is very sweet with people and loves attention, but now for some reason shes decided that she wants to bite.

    Video HELP!! Is This Chick Shivering?

    I'm being told that my chick is shivering, but the gauge says it's at a good temperature, the chick is not wet/moist, and it's in a small closet so there shouldn't be a draft... What's this shaky movement about?

    Conure thin, but otherwise healthy

    Hi there! I’ve got a 6 year old green cheek named clover, and I’ve found that his keel bone is especially prominent. His activity, diet, etc have all been good, as I always see him eating and playing and chatting. I recently took him to the vet and they did a physical- he seems perfectly healthy...
