I have two female crimson sisters that are now 14 years old. They are still both bitey about hands near their food. These two sisters were raised together ( from my breeding pair of crimsons). They cannot be allowed near each other without a serious fight ensuing. Literally, they would kill each other. Keep an eye out for your two when they are fully mature. Especially now you are allowing your male green check to share space with them. Breeding season is near and competition can rear ugly behavior. My two can socialize with a male I have but only under supervision because both girls will pluck feathers from the male so I never allow in cage time. Keep a watch on both of your girls with your male. I would hate for them to beat up on him given his age.All birds seem to have individual personalities. We got two sibling female crimson bellied conures to keep our 18 year old green Cheek company. The crimson bellied were hand fed and we got them soon after weaning. They couldn't be more different From our green cheek. He's calm and very cuddly . I love the crimson bellied sister very much but they are so protective of Their cage that they will attack and draw blood even if you are putting their favorite treats in the cage. They are very friendly when out of the cage but definately not cuddly like our green cheek. They are much more hyperactive than our greencheek ever was. To be so closely related they couldn't be more different. They were very nippy at first but now they rarely bite unless you bravely put your hand in their cage.
They get along freat with our green cheek and he has moved into their cage.
Our crimson bellied conures are so different from what we were expecting.
They are a year and a half old and we are hoping they will mello out a bit. It's like having two puppies with wings!
