green cheek conure

today is mercury’s (estimated) birthday !!! he is 6 years old :)

This morning my conure pooped on me and it looked fine, a little watery if anything, but fine. Later in the day, I went to clean one of her lower perches off bc they always get pooped on, and I noticed that there was black or very dark poop on it. Some of it was new some was crusty. Should I be...

One of my GCC’s was given to me by my little sister when she moved. She got him from Petsmart. He was fairly young when she got him. I am trying to figure out his hatch date, and he has a leg band but i’m not sure if there is anyway I can figure out his age with the information on it. It says...

- By an experienced conure and lovebird dad. PARAKEET (Includes conures, and more) So, It's been a year since you've adopted a 7 week old conure, and now he suddenly starts biting your family, puffing up, and doing his stuff on you. What caused this and what should you do about it now? First...

my gcc (not sure of sex) was doing something weird today. she was furiously bobbing her head up and down with her mouth open and after awhile she spit out what i believe to be pieces of an almond she had eaten earlier. at first i thought this was probably her adjusting her crop of trying to get...

I live in an apartment complex. I haven't lived here very long and when getting my conure, I was unaware that the apartment did routine pest control sprays every three months. People are trying to tell me it won't be that big of a deal because they spray just around the kitchen and bathrooms...

Good evening everyone, I'm taking a lot of time to reflect on what I could have done wrong with Peaches (Rip Lovie) I've been cooking with Blue Diamond cookware and I was wondering if this is safe. It's ceramic and nonstick but claims there are no toxins used. I would LOVE some links to...

so i'm not sure if this is where to post this, but I have some concerns about my gcc. i've had her for about five months, and as far as I know she's been molting for about four of those months. maybe i'm wrong about something and I don't actually fully know what molting is as she's my first...

So, after months of research I’ve decided to get a green cheek conure. I know I’m capable of caring. For one as I usually have nothing to do during the day, so I can easily devote 4-6 hours to the bird daily, my biggest dilemma is where to purchase the bird. I have contacted a breeder who sells...

Around a year ago, I adopted a 7-week-old Green Cheek Conure and raised him by hand. He is very friendly and absolutely loves to be around us. In fact, he almost never stays in his play pen area. He just constantly wants to be on my shoulder or around me. He is also super active and has a lot of...

i’ve heard that magazines and other colored inked papers are bad to use as cage lines but my apartment rarely gets the newspaper and it’s expensive to keep buying liners from the pet store. we do however get a log of catalogs and mags in the mail and i was wondering if it’s okay to use those...

I wanted to make a thread just for posting my chop recipes for reference purposes and in the interest of not overloading the Food Court. Here are the past two I've made threads about: Made Chop Today! Time for Another Round of Chop! And here's today's! I hope you enjoy! :) Ingredients...

Hi! I am new to the forum and new to bird care. I have a 1-year-old Green Cheek Conure. What is the proper cage size/dimensions for a green cheek conure so she may live a long, happy, healthy life? The current cage my Green Cheek is housed in is 24 in. x 16 in. x 16 in. (L x W x H). Any other...

Hello everyone. So it's been a month that I got my beautiful GCC. He has bonded with me really well. But he won't stay alone for a second. His cage is in the living room. For example when I want to go to my room to bring something(it won't even take 1 minute), he will scream and he won't stop...

I am excited to be getting my green cheek conure in less than a week. I am also going to find out the DNA. It has been over 35 years since my cockatiel (Niles) passed. Looking forward to learning and sharing with bird enthusiasts!

I found this conure online and wanted to know what type it was. It was only labeled as a "green cheek conure." I'm new to conures so I dont know what types have this sort of coloring. I really wanted to know because I think it is gorgeous! These are the only pictures they had. Does anyone know?

So I'm in kind of a unique situation with my GCC. When I first rescued him 2 years ago he was pretty outgoing. Then when springtime hit like a week later, he became hormonal and cranky. Always biting and cursing (I think he learned from his previous owners) After spring ended, he became nervous...

I have a male GC conure and need name ideas, he is basically a yellow sided green cheek. I don’t have permission to use photos yet, but he is quite small and curious so there’s some attributes. I would like a cute name for him. Thanks! Any help would be Appriciated!

My green cheek isn’t here yet, but I’m wondering what everyone’s cage setups are! It would be nice if you put pictures and cage dimensions and stuff so that I can see what types of cages conures like.

My GCC, Poppy, finally met my boyfriend's tiel, Baby, today and she hated him! She was such a mean girl! Baby was being so sweet, had his heart wings out and was singing at her, but Poppy got all puffy-necked and tried to bite him. We went to a neutral area in my house (the kitchen) and I set...
