    Conures with the biggest personality

    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...

    Urgent GCC SWALLOWED A HEDGEHOG QUILL

    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...

    Adorable GCC Searching for New Home

    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...

    Clingy/possessive GCC

    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'...

    A New Conure Owner with a few Questions

    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...

    Orange on my little guy's Eye Ring :(

    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...

    Green Cheek Plucking at Night

    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...

    Discolouration on wings -- cause for concern?

    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...

    Mites! Maybe...

    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...

    Green Cheek Conure bobs head and then bites

    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...

    Finally reached featherhood

    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...

    Best Cages for GCC?

    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...

    Green Cheek biting expectations?

    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...

    Didn't Quarantine New Green Cheek?

    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...

    Eclectus vs GCC?

    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...

    Regurgitating on everything!

    Hi, so my 4 year old green cheek is gotten into the habit of regurgitation on just about everything. About a year ago he started doing this so we switched him to a pellet based diet, but now (after eating seeds for about a month because we ran out of pellets) he has stated doing it again. Its...
