green cheek conure

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...

I'm considering getting a part time job but it's very likely that my husband and I will be at work at the same time, leaving our green cheek by herself for a few hours each day. I usually let her out and interact with her all day. Can I leave her alone when I'm at work? I don't want to stress her.

I've been told several times that starting a "training journal" would be a good way to document all of his misbehaviors and try to retrain them when I know exactly what is causing them. So here's Cooper's training thread, and I hope having two separate journals (one here and one on my blog) will...

The last couple of weeks I've been frazzled because I only find the banana-shaped pieces from his pellet in his water dish. (Of course the rest are on the floor and everywhere but being digested.) So I sat and watched him a few days ago. I would pretend to type on my computer and I'd look over...

As many of you know I got Cooper the GCC on December 1st. I had no idea the situation he was coming from until I've spent more time with him. Most of the time he's okay, but I have a few things I get irritated with that he does, no matter how I try to get him to stop. 1 THE BITING I'm not...

i have an 11 month old GC conure named Bruno that recently went through a traumatic even on Dec 24, 2016 (my dad was visiting and accidentally partially closed a Sliding glass door on him under my husbands faulty supervision-- I'm still very upset) anyway, took him to his avian vet and she said...

Lawrence is two years old today! :starshower1: Here she is enjoying her special birthday meal of two of her favourite fruits, strawberry and monkey banana! It's been an amazing two years, and I hope we have many more ahead of us! :heart:

Fruits and vegetables go bad quickly and wild weeds like dandelions and chickweed are seasonal, so it would be much easier to feed frozen food instead of fresh, especially because I could collect a lot more edible flowers and plants and feed them a varied diet with my own fruits/vegetables all...

As many of you know I brought Cooper the GCC home on Thursday night. I noticed right away that he hates when I touch his cage near the door. He tries to nip at my fingers. What I've been doing to solve this problem is holding up my inhaler (because he doesn't know what it is) and he backs away...

I decided to move everything Cooper-related to a new thread, because I didn't want people getting confused about what kind of bird I brought home. Let's recap all of the events that led up to me going and getting Cooper tonight from a woman who lives in Denver. (I've ordered them chronologically...

Hello, I have a 1 year old black cap conure with a large bump under his eye that appeared over night. I took him to the vet about 2 weeks ago because he originally had a very small bump under the same eye and she wasn't sure what it was so she gave him some soothing cream and an injection for...

As some of you already know, between the 1st & 15th of December I'm going to Denver to pick up my new GCC baby Cooper! (He's 7 1/2, he bites (not a problem for me), he can already say a few things when he's bonded to someone, and he's a traditional GCC - I believe.) I've been heavily researching...
