greencheekconure

Hi! My name is Kristi and I am a new bird parent. I adopted my first GC Conure on 1/18/24. His name is Phillip “Lip” Leonard, he is 8 months old and I fall in love with him more and more every day. He is already spoiled and thats ok :)

Yesterday I was trimming my conures wings which our vet recommended us doing. As I was doing so his foot got in the way and it cut above his nail. I was immediately panicking and called my vet while using some baby powder which was the only thing I had on hand to stop the bleeding. He didn’t...

I have 3 GCC conures, my 2 hens are yellow sided and pineapple visually, my male is professed to be a "dilute pineapple" is there a test, something observable to determine what they are split for if there are splits? My yellow sided female appears to have turquoise that peaks through around her...

Hey so I recently gotten a green cheek conure and I’ve been extremely worried,,, she’s been scratching a lot ever since I got her (3 days ago) and it’s non stop, it’s usually followed up with grooming but I’m scared maybe it’s something im feeding her? She has a vet appointment soon but I need...

Got a load of young greencheeks and noticed this one was different. It looks like a bizarre mix between the yellow sided and the pineapple high red mutations. Thoughts?

alright, this is a new acc so ill try to make this as short as possible. I own a female cockatiel and a male green cheek conure. They are not 1 year old yet, but around 8-9 months. Lately I've been seeing hormonal behavior. The conure becoming territorial and easily angered, and the cockatiel...

Hi guys, My conure has a bump on her eyelid, I don't know if you guys can see it but when i look down, it bulges out, it is like a fleshy skin coloured a bit red bump. My parrot has no issues, shes normal but I'm not sure where the bump came from. Any ideas?? could it be like tumour or a skin...

I have a Green Cheek Conure, this summer will be my fourth year will him and I have had him since he was two months old. I’ve noticed suddenly in Oct 2020 that I break out in hives on my arms and hands at random, and the last week have developed itchy dry eyes. I don’t know if it is possible to...

Hey, I am doing my research for my first birds. I ended up narrowing it down to tow species, the GCC and the Quaker parrot. I really love Quakers! I love how they look, their personality and the fact that they may talk adds a good bonus. Since I do share walls with neighbors, I am scared that...

Hello. I have 2 green cheek conure. Preening, touching tongue, and cuddling each other. Then one conure bites the feet of another conure, and the other conure screams. I don't know if this behavior means that the two of us like or dislike each other. I still don't know if the two have a good...

Hello everyone. So it's been a month that I got my beautiful GCC. He has bonded with me really well. But he won't stay alone for a second. His cage is in the living room. For example when I want to go to my room to bring something(it won't even take 1 minute), he will scream and he won't stop...

I usually put aside a bit of human food that she can eat. For example, scrambled egg or egg white with no salt, a piece of crust, berries, etc, that goes in the cup on her stand or on a little plate. Lately however, she’s grown bolder about crossing from her stand over to my shoulder, running...

Hi, I’m pretty new here, but I just wanted some advice about my baby’s new colors. My beautiful baby bird had his first molt last month and ended up with very yellow shoulder feathers and yellow under his wings. This is my first green cheek and I’m not sure if this is normal, a nice different...

Hi everyone! This is my first forum post (not sure if this is the right place to post it), and I've finally decided to post because I'm so upset! I have two beautiful green cheek conures, a normal (Kiwi) and a cinnamon (Chai), but one isn't so beautiful anymore.... Around November last year I...

I have a green cheek conure and shes a sweetheart and she is very bonded to me even though I have only had her for 10 days. She is clipped, but she still manages to always fly very well and always flies onto me. One day, I noticed she isnt as active, or flighty and is more fluffed up throughout...

Hi I am planning on getting a green cheek conure (or two). I need some info on keeping two conures together. I will probably get two young green cheek conures that are the same gender and from the same batch. I will also house them in a very large $350 cage and they will have adequate space. The...

I’ve recently found my bestfriend! A little male GCC, who I’ve named Atlas! he’s two months old and has such an adorable little personality. He doesn’t bite often, and is fairly quiet. The only issue I’m having is he has to be with me 24/7. If I am home and not with him, he paces the...

Hello everyone! I'm a 1st time parront from Québec, Canada. I have a 6 mo female green cheek conure named Kiwi. She's been with me for only 2 months but during that short time, we created a very good bond. Kiwi can say her name and she makes kissy noises. She likes to be cradled in my hand...

hi everyone! I have a green cheek and I just need some insight or advice about his/her biting habits (currently waiting on DNA results for its gender but been calling him a he for now :) ). Here is a list of some pointers: 1) he doesn't play with or bite his toys 2) he bites and nibbles...
