New bird mom here. My husband and I just got the cutest little three month old cinnamon GCC and we love her to death. She loves to nibble and she is so smart. She has learned not to bite hard when grooming our fingers, ears, noses, eyebrows, etc. However, she continuously latches onto our lips...

Hi! I am new to this forum, so excuse any issues I may have with this post. I am going to be a new bird owner, but I am really torn on which breed to get! There are so many I like and I don't know which one I want. I was thinking mostly of a Sun Conure but I also really like the Green Cheeks...

Okay, so I have a Green Cheek Conure (cinnamon variety) and he's about a year old. We wanted to get him a cage mate, but there are a few problems. We aren't entirely sure about his sex. There's a rumor that females have pink feet and males have black feet. He has pink feet. There's another one...

So about two months ago, I got a baby cinnamon conure. His name is Jasper, and he's been developing good. He already knows a few words and he can mimic a kissing sound. He drinks a lot of water (not to the point where it's a problem, though) and he eats a LOT! I'm just worried about his...

Hi everyone! I'm a recent addition to these forums. My flock consists of two rescued house sparrows (Keelo and Pippin) and a pineapple green cheek (Ollie). If you'd like to hear our story and meet them I posted pictures and the story of the sparrows up on Welcome Lane. I came here to this...

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...

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...

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...

I have 2 parakeets currently (well actually my girlfriends), but they are bonded and dont really want anything to do with me. I was looking to get a bigger bird maybe small to medium sized within the next year and looking for help deciding. Right now I'm thinking something like a green cheek...

Hi everyone, I am a new member - my name is Jordii :greet14: I have a GCC (Koby) and he is about 14 months old. He is absolutely lovely and continuously says 'I love you' and 'good boy Koby' - which he learnt from our training sessions, haha. I have read all about how to combat the 'naughty'...

LOST *$200 REWARD* Green Cheek Conure in Eagle Rock / Highland Park

Hey guys, so I am a brand new 3 month old Yellow Sided GCC Owner with a few questions. 1: The breeder clipped my poor babies wings before I managed to find him and rescue my baby, but poor Kai keeps trying to fly off of the cage and bumbles and falls. He isn't hand tame just yet so I can't...

I read about this and can't find a clear answer doing research. My little baby has some orange popping up on the white eye rings on both eyes. He just started snacking on nutri berries more, but that's the only difference to his diet I can think of. Does anyone know what this is from or have...

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone can help me with a feather-plucking problem I’ve been having with a green-cheeked conure who is a bit over three years old. Background: I got him and another bird (a black-capped conure, also approximately three years old) from a man who no longer wanted...

Hi everyone I've attached some photos of my GCC Casper. He's had brown scalloping on one wing for over a year, but with his recent moult for spring he now has it on the other wing, too. He doesn't seem to be itchy or irritated, he doesn't pick at them. He's just turned three, is it just his...

I sold a old ferret cage and went over to the new owners house to help set it up. While there I met, played with and handled her ferrets. I then found out they just got back from the vet that day and have eat mites! I got home and threw my shoes in the freezer, put clothes in laundry and took a...

Hello! So I recently got a Pineapple Green Cheek Conure and he's (not sure if it's a boy or a girl) about two, almost three months old. Sometimes when I take him out of his cage and put him on the top of the cage, he'll start rapidly bobbing his head and then bite my hand hard. What does this...

Hello! My name is Ryly, I'm 23 and I've been reading the forums on this and many other similar sites for the last 9-10 years. I got my little gcc in May and thought I'd share how I finally obtained my little parrot friend. When I was in 4th grade I went to a big name pet store with my mom and...

Hello! I'm shopping for a new cage for Biscuit, because he likes to climb and his old one doesn't allow him to. Problem is, I don't know which cages work for green cheek conures. All the ones I see that seem big enough have macaw sized bar spacing. Please help! The sort I'm looking for is a tall...

Spencer is nearly 3 months old. I've managed to reduce biting, but it's looking like I'm always going to get bit. Is it realistic to think I can train him NOT to bite at all? If you've had success in reducing biting, I'd love to know how. He bites when he wants something. He bites when he's...
