    GCC biting fingers! Training advice?

    I recently brought home a 5 month old green cheek. He’s been really good so far… except for the fact that any time there’s fingers near his feet, he bites HARD! He doesn’t seem to be afraid of hands. He happily accepts treats, head scritches, and will even rub his head against me if he wants...

    Very Aggressive Green Cheek

    I know this is not the right way to get a parrot, but in my country it's quite a normal thing. So I bought a green cheek conure at 3 weeks old. Currently, he is 8 weeks old and just started to fly about a week ago. And since last week, he has become incredibly aggressive towards me, specifically...

    Larger flight cage (help)

    I'm looking to upgrade my A&E flight cage to something bigger for my green cheek conure, Finn, does anybody have recommendations for cages larger than 32x21x35, with 1/2" bar spacing? I've been looking at two cages so far, Prevue F050 X-large flight cage (36"x22"x47") https://a.co/d/fBIDV8z...

    7yo GCC suddenly hates my right upper extremity only

    So, I'm out of ideas on how to fix this one. I have a hypothesis on why my right hand appears to have committed a crime, but am no closer to a solution. Bear with me as I do a full biopsychosocial assessment of my birds' wellbeing issues Context: I have a [female] GCC, Jerry, who is about 7yo...

    Sudden Biting Behavior

    My green cheek Pina came to me very sweet and very snuggly. Snuggly part and sweet part hasn't faded at all, but now she has a problem with biting. I'm trying to do everything possible to make it better. Sound aversion, distraction with target training and removal. Unfortunately she continues...

    Conures are confusing me, please help :')

    I'll try to explain as briefly as I can, On Friday, 3 days ago, I lifted my bird cage cover to find that 1) An egg was on the bottom of the cage, and 2) we didn't have two males. I was shocked, ecstatic, and anxious. I had wanted two males to avoid this issue as I knew the health complications...

    Pictures Bite pressure training is the best thing

    Can’t believe Bo has gone from drawing blood yesterday to measuring his grabs today. We’ve been playing and having scritches, he just didn’t understand the strength he has in that tiny body :cloud9: Dealt with a few painful bites today but totally worth it to teach him!

    Hiya, new here so bear with!! I very recently got a GCC whom I rehomed as his previous owner didn’t have the time anymore. He’s 3yrs and 6m. I’ve had him barely a week so I’m really just looking for some vague advice as I’ve read a lot of posts but none that align with him perfectly, because all...
