I need some info on the personality of black capped conures. Can't find any thread on them... Someone please help me. I think @webchirp must be an authority. All you conure- parents, please help.

My BCC is extremely sweet but also a total jerk at times. He's impatient and has me well trained he loves to cuddle and is very protective of me. What specifically do you want to know?

Just about their personality, in general. Are they laid back? Are they aggressive... This sort of things. Though every bird is different and special, there should be some traits...

I’ve had many black caps. Just like all birds, each individual will have their own personality, so it’s hard to generalize. I’ve had maybe 3 (out of 25 or 30) BCC that were as sweet as the best GCC can be. But generally I have found BCC to be a mite more fractious. Maybe a bit more temperamental in nature. They’re gorgeous and most of the time they know it! The majority of them preferred bird company to human, and when the hormones hit things can get rough- but that’s the same no matter the species. They have a reputation of being “quiet birds” but I think that’s just a made up marketing/selling point- compared to any Aratinga, for sure Pyrrhura are quieter but nobody kid themselves, Pyrrhura can squawk up a ear piercing storm when the notion strikes. Many conures can be bitey little angry bats, and BCCs are no exception. Care and caging is the same as for a GCC. Lifespan pretty similar as well.
Pictures required if you have a new addition!!

Thank you so much... I came to know about a BCC recently. But obviously, I need to read and think before any addition.

My BCC, Max, is the cling-on bird of stay. He’s sweet and cuddly most of the time, but he can fly off the handle for the slightest perceived threat. He’s nippy, as is Gus, my GCC. Max is very demanding of my time and attention. He doesn’t care for strangers and is very cautious. Our new Quaker is proving to be just as demanding as Max. I love them and wouldn’t have it any other way, but bird-love isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
