Hi!! Sorry if there's a better place to post this-- I've been browsing this forum for years now but this is my first time posting. So yeah, hi! I'm moving out of my parent's home for the first time and my sweet green cheek conure, Bento, is coming with me. I've been caring for birds for almost a...

Hello! Thank you for letting us join this wonderful forum which has helped us through some of the toughest times with our rescue fids! We are a flock of 3 parrots and 2 cats - African grey, Meyer's parrot, and Green cheek conure (yellow-sided). We have a youtube channel: Flock of Five -...

I'm still a little shaken up, but basically what had happened a couple minuets ago was that I was sitting on the couch with my conure on my shoulder. He loves my mom, so when she walks down the stairs, he always goes to her. All of a sudden, the bird took off and my dog somehow managed to swipe...

Hello, with sadness we are looking to rehome our 4 year old Green Cheek Conure, Marty McFly, as we have a 1 year old who has sleep issues and unfortunately the even relatively quiet sounds of our Green Cheek are creating some daytime sleep issues in our small home. Marty is friendly...

As most of you know that I adopted Cooper - my 8yo GCC - in December of last year. He was horrid when I first got him, but over time he's gotten better behaved. He's never really liked to be touched and he seems to have some kind of separation anxiety from people he bonds with. He used to bite...

Hello everyone, First of all this is my first thread so I hope this is the right section . I wrote this post to introduce you my 1 yr old conure (named Heisenberg), who was sold me as a green cheek conure (when he was 1 month old), but as soon as he grew all his feathers I noticed some strange...

Hello, everyone! I have just joined the site because I have many question about my green cheek conure, and how to properly train it. It started nine months ago, when I started researching green cheek conures for the pure intention of liking the species. Later that month it spiraled into actually...

Hello! My name isSara but I prefer to go by my username Roemeida (or Mei) online :) I have owned two budgies since 2012 and just this week got a loving silly Green Cheek!! I've been bonding with her in the store and she had taken a liking to me since she's been there (all of the employees felt...

Hey everybody I've been reading on so many forums lately so I thought it was time to join one. I just got 3 days ago a baby pinnapple green cheek and I believe she's about 8 weeks old. My girlfriend has 2 parakeets and after bird sitting I knew I wanted to get a bird so I started looking and...

I'm a minor, and have researched parrots as pets for about 9 months now, I've even started to dream about them. I saw a gcc in person for the first time yesterday, and fell in love. How old were you when you got your first parrot? I'm saving up about $500 for the bird, a cage, toys, ect. Do you...

If you've seen any of my previous posts, you know that my baby conure, Jasper, is developing quickly. If you haven't seen my posts, i'll let you in on it. I have a baby Cinnamon GGC named Jasper. For a while, we were just teaching him how to get off of bad habits like biting, but then we...

I recently purchased this cage for my GCC: Bird Cage Large Play Top Bird Parrot Finch Cage Macaw Cockatoo Pet Supplies Blk - Walmart.com Is it too big? She seems fine in it and cannot fit out the bars. It is recommended for sun conures and cockatoos but her old cage was so small it was...

Hello, Last Sunday we welcomed a baby Green Cheek Conure into our home. The breeder had taken him out of the the nest the same day after approx. 40 days, and we began hand feeding with a syringe. The baby has begun getting accustomed to it, and is now eating 3/day. However, for the past 2 days...

So I've been on AA all day thinking a cockatoo was what I wanted, i'd done the research thinking- "yeah they are loud, how bad can it be? Yeah they are messy, I can clean it. Yeah they can easily slip into a depression for being left alone for more than and hour or 2, but i'm homeschooled so I...

Hi Y'all, Im Caitie and Im new to this forum. I just wanted to tell y'all alittle about myself and my At-Home Zoo (LOL) My house is filled with animals and while it's a daily madhouse I wouldn't have it any other way. At the moment I have a total of 9 animals; Holly - A Bichon Mix (7yrs) A...

Hello everyone. My green cheek decided to "preen" my hedgehog and bit the quill off. He claimed off his cage and into the hedgehog play pen just to do that. I never have my parrots up this late but my boyfriend left for national guard training and I got lonely. The hedgehog is a little upset but...

Hi, I'm new around here but I have a question. What are the pros and cons of a Quaker Parrot or a GCC. I'm thinkin about getting one and I'm at a crossroad of which one to get. For example; which one is louder (like in decibels), which one is more cuddly/affectionate, who has the worst bite...

I have decided to finally do what is best for my bird and look into finding him a better home. Teddy is a 2 year old (hatched 1/1/15) male Green Cheek Conure. He is extremely smart and loves to be involved in a household; he is a talker and loves to chat when the house gets busy or he is playing...

Hello again. I've received a lot of input and have now narrowed my interest to 3 main birds. I can't choose between a caique, a Senegal parrot and a green cheek conure. I have been recommended against a Senegal parrot by bird breeders however I still like them. Any experience with any of these...
