green cheeck conure

My name is Sam and I adopted an adorable green cheek conure, Kiki, a few weeks back. I came here in search of food recommendations for her, and tips to get her to stop chewing on my face lol. I'm excited to be a part of the community!

So this is my first post here. I have exhausted any ideas I have or anything I could research online so I decided it would probably be best to ask others! I have been training my one year old, greencheek conure, Gordi, to wear an aviator harness for almost 3 months now. At this point, my green...

Hey guys! So I totally caught the bird bug and I’m thinking about getting a second bird. I’ve narrowed down my options to either a GCC or a peachie. I’m totally stuck between the two and was looking for some advice. For some background: I’m a college student, not living in dorms, and I do have...

I'm taking my ESA (a green cheek) with me to college and I was planning on a new cage to get for my dorm. I'm not allowed to bring furniture in that's larger than 3'x3'x3' which his current cage is larger than that. I'm planning on leaving his cage at home for when I travel down for the...

Hi guys! So I have an issue with conure bonding. So I got two conures two years ago when they were three months old. The male, Loki is very jumpy and aggressive... he is scared of anything and often bites and draws blood. I’ve taught him many tricks and I feel like I am somewhat experienced in...

Hi everybody! I posted about my green cheek Remmy who sustained a traumatic brain injury about a week ago, so heres a bit of an update and a few more questions! Remmy is doing somewhat better. He's on painkillers which are helping, and his personality seems to be coming back slowly but surely...

Hello everyone! Back again to ask a somewhat weird question: What does it mean when a parrot opens and closes vent for 15-20 seconds after pooing? I'm training my green cheek to go potty in the trashcan so I have been picking him up whenever I see the infamous tail waggle and backing up...

I'm so happy right now!! I bought the Zupreem Natural pellets in hopes that Rio could switch off of the seed diet his breeder previously had him on, and to my surprise he likes them! I mashed the pellets with warm water and a small bit of cranberry juice (along with a small amount of seed). He...

Hello everyone! My green cheek conure is about a year old now. Since I’ve had him he’s had a single white/yellowish stubby feather at the base of his tail, it seems to be growing but at an extraordinarily slow speed and seems to be fluffy and life it’s growing right out of this skin (never seen...

I recently got a GCC and I was wondering if Zupreem fruitblend pellets were alright to give her or is there a better alternative. She was raised on those specific pellets. I provide her with daily fruits and vegetables but I'm unsure about the pellets themselves. Please let me know if theres...

Hello, I have a male sun conure. I’m planing on getting a second conure. I’m just not sure if it’s best to get a different species. I want a turquoise green cheek. Do you think this would be okay with my sun conure? I don’t want to breed them but if for some reason it happens I’ve read their...

Hello All! I volunteer at our local animal shelter and we recently received a GCC there. We don't normally get any birds in but we luckily had the appropriate sized cage, I have began starting her on a pellet diet with fresh fruits and veggies daily and she absolutely loves the fresh things! She...

Hello I have a confession to make. I was busy over the holiday and did not have the time to give my bird what I feel is correct amount of free time but when I did I usually had to leave again soon after I have only had the bird since august and I heard it can take months to step up train in some...

I've had my Green Cheek Conure, Pierre for awhile and have been attempting to tame him. His stubborn personality doesn't help at all. However, tonight he seems a bit off? He sneezed and got quiet. He then proceeded to make more sneezing noises frequently. Something I've never seen him do is bob...

I've had my lovely GCC for about a year and a half now. When we first got him he was quiet and sat still on my shoulder. After perhaps half a year, he began biting a lot, and looking back at how busy our family was, I'm thinking part of it was lack of constant socialization. I've seen the...

Hey all! I've decided to purchase two GCC siblings who are really close to each other. They are handled daily by the breeder and her husband and I'm told they are very sweet, but after reading about bonded GCCs becoming intolerant of their owners, I'm getting worried. Any suggestions for how to...

Hey so I noticed yesterday and today, finally when Kiwi will start playing with me, then snuggling, then back to playing, and she’ll get super excited and then stop and make the motion when she’s going to regurgitate ( Which I know this from watching videos and researching it ). Kiwi is only...

Well... after about two months of research and fighting myself over whether I should I get a GCC or Lovebird, I was still conflicted. However, someone a few days ago offered a baby (4 months) handfed green cheek to me for 180$. I thought this was a very good deal compared to the 350 the local...

Hey y’all. I would love any suggestions and past/current experiences. I am a new bird mom (2months) and I am completely smitten. Zuko is 8 months on the 19th and I’m thinking of bringing home a friend for him. Is this too soon for me to be a bird mom of 2? I have heard with birds 1 is 1 and 2...

Hey guys!! So recently Kiwi, my gcc, has been doing something funny. I think she’s trying to be intimidating, but I’m not sure? I can’t find any pictures or videos of a bird doing it. I told her “no” firmly a few times to stop her from biting something on my bed and after a bit, she stood up...
