green cheek conure

Hi all, So I've had my two green cheeks for a couple of years now. One of them seems to have a disability of some variety, and I was wondering if anyone else has heard of it. Firstly, she has a really terrible walk, causing her to fall over her own feet a lot. Like, she falls over at least once...

Hello parronts! I currently have an extremely spacious cage for my GCC. Pic attached. He's fine being in it while I'm within view but the moment I step into another room he starts whining. He's my alarm clock which I really dont mind... loud screeches in the morning are very welcome in my...

Hello all! This is my first post. I've been lurking on the forums for a bit. Got my Yellow sided GCC in March of this year. He is now 6 months old. I believe he has started molting but I'm not quite sure. We have had a couple really nice, warm days here in New England. I took him for a walk...

Hello! I recently got a new green cheek conure (up to four now!). I was told he is a turquoise SF Misty. I can definitely see the turquoise, but can't find enough info about the misty mutation online to verify it. In fact, I am doubting it. Does this GCC look like it is Single Factor Misty? I am...

i recently got a green cheek conure from a breeder who said it was 7 weeks old (Now the bird should be 8 weeks old). However, when I looked on YouTube, all the videos of 7 and 8 week old conures did not look like mine. From the research I’ve done, my baby looks about 6 weeks old as of right now...

Hello! My feathered pets of a few years decided to have some babies. The male is a normal Green-cheeked Conure and the female is a yellow-sided. They currently have 3 babies, the eldest being 3 weeks, the second 2.5 weeks, and the youngest 2 weeks. All three of the babies appear to be developing...

Hi, I have a GCC chick, 4.5 weeks old. He is starting to take less at each feeding (fed 4X/day). He has a strong feeding response initially (bobbing), mouths occasionally (like swallowing/tonguing like adult, which I've read is normal in slow hand-fed birds), then after about 5-7 cc's, usually...

Honey has been doing a lot better with me giving her treats but still working on building the trust to get her to be more active. Small things do scare her but its a work in progress. And she has been getting better with me giving her scratches but only when I move at a very slow pace.

Good evening! It all started off with my budgie Quinn and got a GCC recently. I decided to come on here for help and to help. My parakeet was quite easy to tame and step up unlike conure, Honey. She's a shy bird who tends to scare easily and doesn't know how to step up. She's getting used to me...

Just went to the doctors and was tested for the flu. It came back positive for influenza A. I’ve read online that birds are not succeptible to colds or flus so long as the infection is not bacterial. I am confused though because I’ve also read that Influenza A is the avian flu and can infect...

There are a lot of questions in this, and I’m sorry if some seem dumb, but I am new to this so go easy on me please!! So I need help coming up with a diet plan for my 7 m/o green cheek conure, Kiwi. I’ve only had her for a little less than two months now. See, I’m horrible at making meal plans...

Hi there everyone! - I'm new to Avian Avenue and I have a new green cheek conure that I've had for just a few weeks (my first bird, too!). I didn't ask his exact age but it sounded like he is only several months old, less than a year at least. When I got him he would eagerly step up either onto...

today, surprisingly, i got bitten by a bird and he drew blood. now, again, luckily it wasn't my bird. I was at my local bird store, and someone had brought their caiques in to be groomed. I asked a little bit about them, picked up the 'nice' one, and went back to hanging out with Jeffrey...

We brought home our female 5 month old Jenday 3 days ago and we're doing the whole quarantine thing from our 7 year old male Green Cheek. We're hoping to make them cage-mates if they get along, but I'm worried about them breeding and producing offspring. I have heard of Sun and Green Cheek...

Hi, there. First post. I am planning to adopt a green cheek conure once I find a good breeder in Georgia. The problem is, I have a little budgie who had a respiratory infection a few weeks back. He has since recovered (stopped antibiotics last week) and is back to normal, but I am still...

Recently my housemate decided to get a pair of young green cheek conures, brother & sister that are almost inseparable but also good with people. My green cheek is purely a one person trusting bird, skittish around other people unless treats are in the mix, great around other birds & dogs BUT...

Hello everyone! I just brought home my green cheek conure this last Thursday. His name is Korben Dallas and he’s a playful little guy that loves the attention he can get (and nibbling on my toes). I was wondering if there might be something wrong with his feathers as they’re not as green as...

Hi there all, I am a first time bird parent to a beautiful pineapple green cheek conure called Rio. When I got him nearly 4 weeks ago at the age of 4 months old, he was absolutely petrified of people... I was told by the breeders I got him from that he was hand tamed and hand fed but there is...

Hello everyone, I've been trying to find information on this subject for a while but all I can find is info for same species birds. I have a female green cheek conure that is a year old and a three year old Male budgie. They have been on okay terms for months now but suddenly, summer comes (and...

Hello! I'm relatively new to the site so I thought I would introduce us! We have in our home: 2 red factor sun conures Sunny (my son's) Jasper 2 turquoise green cheeks Jade (my foster daughter's) Kalissa 1 parrolett Princess pea (my other daughter's) 1 Quaker Harper 1...
