Is your Green Cheek Conure a Bat Too??

[Summzz]

I came to this thought the other day when I walked in on my 11 year old Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure hanging upside down, eating. I laughed and talking to my mom about it saying "I swear she lives 85% of her life upside down". Eating, she is upside down. Taking a nap, she is upside down (sometimes). Just staring out the window, she is upside down. Almost everything she does through out the day she is upside down. Now there is of course something she sits up right for but I swear I got a bat not a bird. We have always jokes I got a bird mixed with a bat and a velociraptor (she has had a broken/deformed toe from the moment we got her. We think she broke it when she was a baby and it just healed that way, it makes her look like she has a velociraptor claw). She also HATES flying and prefers to just walk on the floor (finding the shinny floor very interesting). I have a Sun Conure that hardly hangs upside down. I'm sure I'm not the only one but I thought I would try to find others like her (I just included a cute photo of her as I realized I didn't actually have a photo of her upside down).

Of course!!!
Cheeku spends atleast half his day climbing and going down and coming up again (in which he gives many different postyres which includes "The Bat" too!)
And Claire is beautiful!!!

Rio hangs from one foot but upright. He does it for attention as I make a big deal about it & clap. He seems to know I like it.



Penny crawled across the top of the cage yesterday to come to me from the other side of the cage when it would have been easier to walk across a perch to me...LOL She does not do that too often.

Oh what a good photo!! Yup, sounds pretty similar, Claire hangs from one foot but is normally eating or scratching her head. Figured it was a Conure thing but wanted to see if anyone else had "bats" for pets! Too cute.

My GCC Kip is still a baby so no bat behavior yet, but I kinda hope he does it. It sounds really cute! Your babies are gorgeous.

I laughed way too hard at this! Way too cute. I'm never surprised at how goofy they can be.

Oh really! I guess as long as she is comfy!!

Oh, I'm sure he will! They all seem to be so unique and have an abundance of personalities!! Also, is that him in that photo?? Whoever it is is absolutely adorable!!
