green cheek conure

Hello everyone! My name is Sam and it's nice to meet all you other bird lovers out there! Tomorrow I am very excited because I am putting a payment on my own baby GCC! Conures are my heart bird, although I have never had one, I have always wanted one. He is still a baby, so will have to stay...

I've been meaning to buy some more toys for Lawrence for a while now, as my selection is pretty slim (and dull-- quality toys that aren't just cheap plastic covered with bells and mirrors are hard to find where I live), but a few days ago I had the cash to splurge on my little buddy :D She's...

Hi everyone! I hope somebody can help me figure out what's going on with my green cheek. I've had the bird for a little over two months and it has been molting since I adopted it. It has already bonded to me and I spend at least three hours of on one on one time with it everyday. The last two...

Today Lawrence went on his first trip to the vet :D He went for a general check-up, look at his feathers, and to get DNA sexed (I've just been assuming he was a boy this whole time lol, can't wait for the results in the next few weeks). I was really nervous about how he'd go, but he did really...

Hi all, I just wanted to ask some things about adding a new flock member-- I might be getting a new bird in the future (as in, quite a few months), and I'd like to know about your experiences and methods in introducing a new bird, how you've come to divide your time between birds and avoid...

Hello, I have a 17 moth old green cheek who like to talk to corners (dark or well-lit) and dark places-- not just 'nest-like' ones, but also tubes that he can't fit his head in and gaps between stacked books. We like to joke that he's 'talking to the void', but does anyone have any ideas of what...

Hello! Our green cheek has had a reoccurring limp. This is the 4th time in about 16 months. The first time it lasted 7 days and was the result of flying into something 6 ft away after a seagull scared her in the window. The 2nd and 3rd time it only lasted a few days, and this time we are going...

Alright, so I have a single GCC (have had him since Nov of 2015) and I am looking to get another bird. Currently I homeschool and only work three days a week, so my little conure is out for at least 7 hours most days. However, I am going to be starting 2-3 college courses in the fall as well as...

I've got a new baby green cheek who I've known for a few months now. I got him from a very nice pet store where I got my first green cheek from about a year ago. The people at the pet store said I didn't need to quarantine my new green cheek because he's been diseased tested and so has my...

Hello! I got my first parrot November of 2015. He's a green cheek conure rescue. He's a pretty active bird, and in that activeness he's actually broken all of his tailfeathers just from climbing in small places, and getting startled and jumping and then when he lands, some of his tailfeathers...

hey, I'm new here and I've got a question! So I've got a pineapple GCC named Gigi - she's about 4 years old and I got her a year and few months ago from a breeder who got her back from someone who couldn't take care of her and another pineapple GCC anymore. I love her a lot and I'm pretty...

Hello! My name is Jennifer, and I am the usually happy owner of two conures. I have a Sun Conure named Soda Pop and a Green Cheek Conure named Guillermo. Now for birdy introductions: Soda Pop: This lovely lady is about 22 if I recall correctly from the band on her ankle. She is very set in...

Hello, I'm not new to owning birds (have experience with budgies, lovebirds, and cockatiels) but I'm stumped. I recently had the opportunity to adopt an older cinnamon green cheek conure, not sure of the exact age but he's older than 5 I'm sure. The previous owner said he wasn't getting along...

Hello everyone I bought a green cheek conure 8 weeks ago he's still a baby as he was born earlier this year. I did clip his wings as soon as I got him home because the owners told me he was very tame but once I got him home I received an email saying that he was never tame. I've been attempting...

Hi there! =3 I'm not too experienced, and I'm looking into some parrots as a friend. I'm really considering the Eclectus or a Green Cheek Conure. ^-^ Overall, what I'm looking for is an animal that appreciates my presence. I just want a feathered companion. I don't ask for much. It doesn't...
