Yall are not correct. 20 -25 is the expected life expectancy. How long is a human expected to live? about 80 years in America. How many humans are older than 80 right now? what about over 100? If you take care of him (excellent diet/care) and give him a reason to live (lots of attention and a "mate" or companion. He'll keep squawking for a looooong.
when she said, "this is predator" "this is friend" it makes so much sense, i don't need to be staring down my bird. i know i'd feel intimidated if someone was doing that to me
Yoshi and Popples get along great. While you were talking, Yoshi preened Popples, then hugged him and asked for affection and cuddles. Also Popples will step over to Yoshi, and let him take a bite of his food, which is great bonding. Its great they are great friends.

I’m getting a green cheek tomorrow and I’m so scared I’m gonna mess up the bond. Everyone has given me advice but it’s ALL different. I have a plan but I’m not sure if it’ll work Step 1: keep hands OFF the bird, stay in the room for awhile, sing and talk softly, and only go into the cage to change water, food, and to clean. Once the bird is comfortable with your presence and the new surrounding, go to step 2. Step 2: Try to sit close to the cage but don’t make eye contact, offer the bird treats from outside the cage but if he moves away it’s okay. Try again later. When the bird takes the treat go to step 3. Step 3: Try feeding the bird inside the cage with your hand and offer food. Do it continuously and go to step 4: 4: teach the bird how to perch on your finger or arm. Do this for a few weeks. Finally, step 5 Step 5: when the bird is comfortable enough, take him out of the cage so he can enjoy outside and set up snacks, toys, and puzzles everywhere. Is this a good plan?? I’m really scared I’m gonna mess up, someone help?? 😬
this helped! my new bird has started to fly onto me (after a day of me chilling in my room and leaving her cage open) however if i try get her to step up on my finger or if i refill her food, she runs away from my hand. hopefully soon she will step up onto me 🙏🏼
I started using these tips the moment I watched this video! I noticed immediate change with my parotlets behavior especially when I got them away from the cage. Victoria you are the birb whisperer thank you!
I took in unwanted larger birds and trained them, and found forever homes for them. Little birds weren't high on my list. This November, my grandson purchased a high red green cheek conure for me. He has won me over hook, line, and sinker. He is a happy, sweet, loving companion. If you are looking for a bird, green cheek conures are an excellent choice.
Thankfully I live alone so the whole high traffic and loudness shouldn’t be too big of a deal. I want a bird and I’m looking at all types between budgies, cockatiels, moustache parakeets, conures, quakers, ect to get a feel of what bird works best for me lol This for sure helps put a lot more thought into my decision making

Hey! I just got a agressive cage territorial conure as well. He’s willing to come out, but he’s already very scared of hands. How has it gone for you? Any progression? (I got mine yesterday)
Hi Victoria, I just love the way you explain each step for people, both you and I went thru stuff with Yoshi and my "Jake"! You are helping so many people, and again your sense of humor is soo wonderful!!!
I used to want to catch wild birds as a kid. I would slowly and quietly creep up on the bird with a huge white bucket then throw the bucket at the bird.. I never caught a bird.
I once found a baby bird that had fallen from its nest.His mother couldn't help it so i took it home and gave it good care.After about 2 months ,i released it to a forest near by and before releasing it ,i tied a green string on its foot.That was 3 years ago and yesterday i saw the same kind of bird with a green string tied to each foot ...It was him

You're a literal lifesaver I just got a green cheek today and I didnt know it wasnt clipped or anything so the second I opened the travel cage it flew out and wouldnt come down back into the cage, after I watched this I finally got it back in 🥰🥰
My 6 month old gcc is a beautiful bird. She took to me like a duck to water. Sits every morning eating brekky with me and yeah, she nips, but never hard, loves to be handled and Just amazed how quick she has has come along. Maybe just patience and constantly interacting goes along way. Cheers for your videos..subscribed.
I really appreciate your video. I just took home a GC conure that seems absolutely terrified of people. When I asked to meet her the shopkeeper reached in and grabbed her very quickly and aggresively with both hands from where she was cowering in the corner and I felt so bad for her after learning she'd been in that shop for SIX MONTHS that I just couldn't leave her there. She seems particularly scared of hands (and i don't blame her) so I really appreciated you focusing on that particular fear.
I just inherited a Green Cheek. We have met before although his dad passed and his caretaker just dropped him off. The first 45 minutes after my son left (which he loves) it started to scream. I went back to my desk which is 15' away from a sliding glass door where his cage is. I just did my own thing and looked for a cover for the evening. About 7:00 PM he looked like it was bed time. He loved the red color and came out running around with his approval. It 's big enough for his huge cage. He's very funny and settling in just fine. I dig this little guy. I've raised baby parrots most of my life for friends for pets. He's a keeper.
I had an African Grey for many years but had to give him up. I just bought a Green Cheek Conure and I can't believe how different they are in temperament. my green Cheek is Super friendly and handle able . He has never bit me or even tried. Thank you for your videos and for your help with raising my new bird!
Wow Victoria I love these birds. I contacted you before I am Bob in Connecticut I gave up bartending a few years ago because I collect comic books I really gave up working after my girlfriend passed away she made movies and magazine covers. my green cheek Spidey is definitely the best friend I had he is with me at all times better than any dog or cat I also have three cocktails one of them is a very rare albino her name is Harley Quinn I had her since she was born. And I have a beautiful sun conure her name is storm I would never cage the birds. I do have two cages totally open so they can go in and out. The green cheek sleeps on the top shelf of my medicine cabinet in the bathroom whenever he’s tired. Sometimes Spidey acts like an animal and he’s only a baby boy.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Had birds for the last 20 years, got this indian ringneck who lived his whole life in a aviary, getting bullied around alot. So scared of everything! And I just couldn´t get to him... Thought I made progress, but then back to Sqare one. Again and again. But thanks to this vid I found it. It´s the eyecontact!
This is a great video. I bought a perch with a big suction cup for the window behind my couch. My birds love hanging out there when I'm on the couch. Eventually my new GC was interested in me & now I'll look up at him and he'll kiss my nose. I still can't get him to get on my finger though.
While I watch this, my Green Cheek is preening my hair 😎 I got him yesterday as a five year old rescue bird who was abused in his past but he already likes me : )
Thanks for the advise I have a twenty week old green ringneck you described his behaviour to a T I will try everything you have advised thanks for the great video 😁
I was just given a pineapple green cheek, never considered of having one before. He is not tame and fearful (not aggressive just run and hide) thank you so so much for this video. Lil Dexter has gone to sleep, but tomorrow the fun begins! Hope I can cuddle with him at some point like I do with my cockatiel!
I remember catching a butterfly at my old house I caught it by the wing and then I got scared so I let it go and now I don’t talking about it anymore because I want to mention the fact that I was scared of the butterflies as a seven-year-old but now I’m 10 so everything good
We got so lucky with our Black Capped Conure. From day one she came right to us, and wanted to be with us. A little too much and clingy at times, but it's better than her not wanting to do anything with us. She hangs on the door and calls to us till we come get her. She is more affectionate than any of our other pets, and silly as hell. What a clown lol.
You are amazing and a true asset to every parrot owner! I'm so inspired to educate myself more. I have 1 grn cheek and 7 cockatiels You make me want to do more for them to improve they're quality of life. Thank u for all you do!
I have a sun conure who is very spoiled I have had her since she hatched He mother wouldn't raise her for some reason. She was gave to to me to raise and now 3 years later she has to be on my or by me at all times. your babies are so cute. I have a Hahns macaw I rescued the first year all he wanted to do was bite me but now we are friends and this because I started hand feeding him. Now I can play with him and he enjoys playing and interacting with me when I am making things. I feel parrots are so smart they are more than pets to me. when I am mad they both both get mad. They have made my life so much better. You are so good with your babies. I love you Nine inch Nails T-shirt. I'm an old mocker.
I'm seriously considering to adopt a green cheek, I have been researching them for 5 months now and have heard SO many opinions about taming them , what to do when you bring them in ect. This video cleared things up for me in only 20 minutes, I wanted to thank you SO much for that , Victoria
Love the all blue bird he's cute your pretty cute two , I was out biking in the woods an came across a big wood pecker an a Turkey vulture pretty cool.
How long does it take to earn a green cheek conures trust overall? I've been wanting and researching green cheeked conures for like a year and I was reaaaaaalllyyy curious about that topic :)
It depends per bird and where they came from. Mine came from a bird shop, and sat with me after a month. She is now 7 months and always want to sit with me, play, shower etc. But with my sis, it took over a year. Just take it slow and go at the bird’s pace.
I have a pineapple and now I got a green cheek. Right now I introduced green cheek to my pineapple. My pineapple fed the green cheek lol. I'm excited for them.
Hey Victoria! This is some wonderful advice, and I love your personality! I recently took in a very, very aggressive parrot. He had been improperly fed and neglected and it caused him to get very aggressive. I'll have you know that thanks to your advice, this parrot, after five months, has felt comfortable stepping up on my hand! Thank you so much.
Hi. I had a very fearful bird (Petco sales people said they avoided touching their birds because they didn't want them to bond with them, leaving their birds terrified of humans). Anyway, I used youtube videos on baby conures to get her out of her shell. I'd pet the birds (pet the screen really) and make over them. Next thing I knew she was making the baby conure sounds and came over to be petted with them. I did this in the morning and in the evening for four days and at the end, she wanted love and cuddles. I call her my "love dove" now because she is so affectionate now.
I work at a pet store and a customer recently surrendered a VERY frightened green cheek with very poor socialization. I want to get him comfortable around people and properly socialized before we can adopt him out, thank you so much for this video 😩
This helped me an insane amount. My green cheek is very nervous since being in his new home for a week and by just doing one of these tips, he's gotten closer to me than ever before.
I showed my mom this video and it was the wall breaker to getting a green cheek, my mom never wanted one but I did everything in this video and it helped her be the cutest little feather baby!!! My mom now loves her and started collecting her feathers for my little sister to craft with. Her name is Izzy by the way. At first izzy was very shy but we set up some stands, bought some toys and treats, and built a custom cage. ( big enough for a vulture because my baby deserves the best ) My mom is now a proud grandma
AWEEEE HOW EXCITING!!! This is great news thank you so very much for commenting and letting me know things are going well. Love the crafting idea with the feathers I'll have to look into doing this with my kids. You sound like such a passionate person with your bird I love it. You should be proud of yourself for how far you've come with Izzy. I wish you, your family, and Izzy many many long happy healthy years together :) keep me updated on how things are going please!
Of course!! I will keep you updated for everything that happens, but today we started recall training. It was a rough start because she would always fly to my mom or dad in the room. But we have some quality treats with us. So I let her know I had them, let her try to get them but not quite reaching so she would have to jump to my hand. I guess I started way to far.
@@ceooftherapy6655 that sounds like a great start!! Yoshi used to do that if my kids were in the room. But when I started doing it with just me and him with less distractions in the room he did waaaay better. So cool youre doing trainings with yours. Shows you really care and want to keep working with her. Izzy is a lucky lil birb ☺️
Just found your channel. ✨ so glad. Love your energy, your insight. Have 2 pineapple gcc mutations. Got from pit stop (pet shop) from birthplace to now HOME. Feel we got lucky since got each one from different locations tho same retail...got siblings 🙏 they get along gr8 ♥ like theyve known each other all along. Have budgies, and have been around bigger parrots b4. Researched and bonded. ♡ Subbed n will be looking into your archives n any recent posts. Thank you for being your spunky self n encouraging other birb folks to be helpful. 👏
My bird use to be completely afraid of me and my family. She is mainly around me, but my parents would walk in and she would immediately go to the corner of her cage. I got my bird Sonny to gain my trust by letting her come out of her cage on her own and letting her check me out slowly. She had started to warming up to me and now loves me and my family as she got use to us and me letting her get comfortable on her own. She lets me get her out of her cage by hand and now she’s so happy when I come up to the cage and she’s ready to let her out. I definitely haven’t seen this until a few months after I had Sonny, and I have done most of the things you recommend.
Thank you for noticing that!! It's definitely a strange thought to think of life without them. They are such a happy part of my life. I bet if you've got birds you probably think the same way 🤗💜 thank u again.
1:38 you have my respect for not putting your bird back on the post. The biggest problem is being forcing there bird to do something and I’m glad to see you let him do his thing and was patient with letting him come back😅
This is kind of an older post, so I don't know if I will get any advice, but I'm trying anyway! I have had my green cheek, Miller, for about 12 years (got him when he was a baby.) We have always been well-bonded. About 7 years ago, we adopted an Indian ringneck. It took Miller a while to get used to him, but eventually he tolerated him well enough and they actually share a large cage. The ringneck is obsessed with Miller and only wants to be with him. It has turned out well bc I have had 2 children during then and now and have also been a full-time caregiver for my mom. I was glad Miller wasn't without a buddy to keep him company while I was very busy. I still interacted with him every day, but not the same bc he would go out of his way to bite my kids and my elderly mom. The ringneck is very affable, sweet, and friendly to everyone, so I don't worry about my bond with him. But since having kids, it has been hard to have the same connection with Miller that I used to have. I completely understand why, and I'm not surprised. But I don't know how to fix the bond with the ringneck involved. I feel like Miller is half bonded with me and half with the ringneck (whose name is Jr. by the way). But he is not sweet with me anymore, he bites me all the time. It makes me sad and I want to put in the work to fix it. Should I separate them when I take them out of the cage to spend indovidual time with them? Jr. screams the whole time when he can't see Miller. Any advice appreciated.
Subscribed and on board. Will definitely be watching more videos! I purchased a green cheek conure a couple weeks ago and have been working on understanding her more. As we watched your video she sat on me with her hair fluffed and eyes closed. Us establishing a bond has been a journey but u helped me to understand why I have been getting bit so much. I also saw yoshi get in your head and that's one of my tweet tweets fav places to be. Other than when she's trying to nibble on my neck..lol😂
Thank you , for this informative and educational video , I recently got a pineapple green cheek conure. Now I feel more confident about raising him. Thank you
Thank you so much for posting this!! I started feeling like a terrible new bird mom, and I started crying and beating myself down >n< When you said that you had tried something new from something you read online and then you lost the birds trust!! I did that too!! Thank you thank you again!!
Thank you! I know I’m late but, I sat by my bird’s cage and didn’t say anything and didn’t make a ton of eye contact. He finally started playing with his toys so I got a nutriberry out for him and he came over right away. I will keep doing this and then introduce my hand. 😁🦜
Hey girl! This is so cool thank you so very much for commenting and letting me know things have been working with your birdy. You're awesome you should be so proud of yourself for trying so hard!!!! Good luck to you both :)
funny story that i have, one day i really wanted a parakeet so i went to petsmart to look at them. There was the green cheek conure that was just looking at me, i went up to her and she didn’t even run or go to hide. I went up to the parakeets and they flew off. That’s when i knew i had to get the green cheek. I saved up for her and got her and it was the best decision of my life. She warmed up to me as soon as i took her home :)
I love love love watching your videoes they teach me how to acknowledge green cheek conures and other birds seeing as my dad's getting me a green cheek for christhmas
I recently got a green cheek and he is not shy at all. Actually he wants to be out of the cage and with me all the time. It’s only been a week and I am so surprised how much we have bonded. He wants to snuggle up under my hair by the side of my neck when he’s tired. My only issue so far is he does get quite the attitude when I need to put him back in his cage. He does get nippy when I try to move him from by my neck.
Hey, so firstly we are UK! And have just brought a 2019 green cheek conure. He's very fearful. He runs away whenever we enter the room, or we are near him, even just putting fresh food and water in the cage. He's not a biter, just a runner. We're not sure on his background life with him being 3 years old but we are willing to train him (we've had parrots before). So he is on a seed diet which we are going to change him to pellets and vegetables. We are trying millet sticks as treats. So... he will take the millet when your hand is so back on the stick. Make it shorter then nope, he's gone. We've only had him 3 days so it's early but what is the best plan of action as he won't let us anywhere near him at all. Won't come on the perch, won't take food. Nothing. He gets let out often but getting him back in is not fun! Please send help lol Regards Liane

I'm a kid and I really like green cheeks ,
This is soo much information thank you 😊😉
I just inherited a Green Cheek. We have met before although his dad passed and his caretaker just dropped him off. The first 45 minutes after my son left (which he loves) it started to scream. I went back to my desk which is 15' away from a sliding glass door where his cage is. I just did my own thing and looked for a cover for the evening. About 7:00 PM he looked like it was bed time. He loved the red color and came out running around with his approval. It 's big enough for his huge cage. He's very funny and settling in just fine. I dig this little guy. I've raised baby parrots most of my life for friends for pets. He's a keeper.
You have helped me so much. I rescued a sweet 10 month old Green Cheek. Her name is Elizabeth. We are getting to know each other. She is so darling.
I'm glad thank you! I bet Elizabeth is beautiful just like your soul. Good luck with your new companion.
Lol I love how the quaker gave yoshi some of the millet lol
I had an African Grey for many years but had to give him up. I just bought a Green Cheek Conure and I can't believe how different they are in temperament. my green Cheek is Super friendly and handle able . He has never bit me or even tried. Thank you for your videos and for your help with raising my new bird!
Why did you have to give him up? :(
Wow Victoria I love these birds. I contacted you before I am Bob in Connecticut I gave up bartending a few years ago because I collect comic books I really gave up working after my girlfriend passed away she made movies and magazine covers. my green cheek Spidey is definitely the best friend I had he is with me at all times better than any dog or cat I also have three cocktails one of them is a very rare albino her name is Harley Quinn I had her since she was born. And I have a beautiful sun conure her name is storm I would never cage the birds. I do have two cages totally open so they can go in and out. The green cheek sleeps on the top shelf of my medicine cabinet in the bathroom whenever he’s tired. Sometimes Spidey acts like an animal and he’s only a baby boy.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so I much. I’ve had my little cowboy conure for two weeks now, and he’s now eating out of my hand and climbing up on my hand perch.
Excellent advice! Patience and reading body language is the key!
Thanks girly! You are so right
Had birds for the last 20 years, got this indian ringneck who lived his whole life in a aviary, getting bullied around alot. So scared of everything! And I just couldn´t get to him... Thought I made progress, but then back to Sqare one. Again and again. But thanks to this vid I found it. It´s the eyecontact!
Brought home my first bird, a green cheeked conure yesterday! He is 4 months old and is a bit bitey at times.
Oh my gosh I loved how they preened and cuddled 💕
They are precious 😫🥰
This is a great video. I bought a perch with a big suction cup for the window behind my couch. My birds love hanging out there when I'm on the couch. Eventually my new GC was interested in me & now I'll look up at him and he'll kiss my nose. I still can't get him to get on my finger though.
Just came across this video..didn’t think about the long sleeves..advice really helped.Thanks
🐦
Hey girl!!! 👋 Thanks so much ❤️
🐦
i love that their just making out and sharing food for pretty much all the video
While I watch this, my Green Cheek is preening my hair 😎 I got him yesterday as a five year old rescue bird who was abused in his past but he already likes me : )
12:27 he agrees lol😂
Thanks for the advise I have a twenty week old green ringneck you described his behaviour to a T I will try everything you have advised thanks for the great video 😁
Awe I bet your ringneck is a beauty!! Good luck and you've got this! 🐦
Ringnecks are tricky and take a lot more patience. Just keep taking it slow and you will have a great bird!!🐦
I was just given a pineapple green cheek, never considered of having one before. He is not tame and fearful (not aggressive just run and hide) thank you so so much for this video. Lil Dexter has gone to sleep, but tomorrow the fun begins! Hope I can cuddle with him at some point like I do with my cockatiel!
This is my first conure thanks for your help
My 7 week unweaned conure difficult to feed. Fearful n wants to get away. Very quiet in his cage not playing. Just sitting on perch.☹️
I remember catching a butterfly at my old house I caught it by the wing and then I got scared so I let it go and now I don’t talking about it anymore because I want to mention the fact that I was scared of the butterflies as a seven-year-old but now I’m 10 so everything good
Thank you so much my pineapple green cheek conure is not scared of me anymore😀
Oh my birb yayyyy Jayden!!!!! I'm so excited for you and your birdy that's great news 😁😁😁❤️ thank you for commenting this
A few days ago I wanted a green cheek conure, now I have an up to date video on it!
We got so lucky with our Black Capped Conure. From day one she came right to us, and wanted to be with us. A little too much and clingy at times, but it's better than her not wanting to do anything with us. She hangs on the door and calls to us till we come get her. She is more affectionate than any of our other pets, and silly as hell. What a clown lol.
Yoshi kicks off again And again
You are amazing and a true asset to every parrot owner! I'm so inspired to educate myself more. I have 1 grn cheek and 7 cockatiels
You make me want to do more for them to improve they're quality of life. Thank u for all you do!
I love your videos!!! You helped me a lot with taming my bird.
I have a sun conure who is very spoiled I have had her since she hatched He mother wouldn't raise her for some reason. She was gave to to me to raise and now 3 years later she has to be on my or by me at all times. your babies are so cute. I have a Hahns macaw I rescued the first year all he wanted to do was bite me but now we are friends and this because I started hand feeding him. Now I can play with him and he enjoys playing and interacting with me when I am making things. I feel parrots are so smart they are more than pets to me. when I am mad they both both get mad. They have made my life so much better. You are so good with your babies. I love you Nine inch Nails T-shirt. I'm an old mocker.
Best parrot taming advice on RUclips
I'm seriously considering to adopt a green cheek, I have been researching them for 5 months now and have heard SO many opinions about taming them , what to do when you bring them in ect. This video cleared things up for me in only 20 minutes, I wanted to thank you SO much for that , Victoria
Here where we live a place just took in over 100+ conures as rescues and selling them for 100 bucks a piece or 200 a bonded pair
My wife brought home 2 lol
I love how well your birds get along! Its so sweet to see them love on each other!
Love the all blue bird he's cute your pretty cute two , I was out biking in the woods an came across a big wood pecker an a Turkey vulture pretty cool.
Awe thank you 😊😊😊 omg I bet that was so cool! Did you get pictures?
@@VictoriaRyann no didn't have my phone
Your so beautiful Victoria! Sorry birdies!
Aweeee thank you for taking the time to say that. Super nice of you thanks.
Watching this with my gcc on my shoulder lol
Your birds combined into one birb t’words the end there
How long does it take to earn a green cheek conures trust overall?
I've been wanting and researching green cheeked conures for like a year and I was reaaaaaalllyyy curious about that topic :)
Happy Little Accidents It took almost a year for mine to be comfortable stepping up and hanging out with me.
It depends per bird and where they came from. Mine came from a bird shop, and sat with me after a month. She is now 7 months and always want to sit with me, play, shower etc. But with my sis, it took over a year. Just take it slow and go at the bird’s pace.
I have a pineapple and now I got a green cheek. Right now I introduced green cheek to my pineapple. My pineapple fed the green cheek lol. I'm excited for them.
Hey Victoria! This is some wonderful advice, and I love your personality! I recently took in a very, very aggressive parrot. He had been improperly fed and neglected and it caused him to get very aggressive. I'll have you know that thanks to your advice, this parrot, after five months, has felt comfortable stepping up on my hand! Thank you so much.
i always wear a hoodie that covers my head just in case they poop lmao
My bird flies to me, I let him know how beautiful it was. Lol..akeeta is a very bold Quaker. He also loves your voice!
Hi. I had a very fearful bird (Petco sales people said they avoided touching their birds because they didn't want them to bond with them, leaving their birds terrified of humans). Anyway, I used youtube videos on baby conures to get her out of her shell. I'd pet the birds (pet the screen really) and make over them. Next thing I knew she was making the baby conure sounds and came over to be petted with them. I did this in the morning and in the evening for four days and at the end, she wanted love and cuddles. I call her my "love dove" now because she is so affectionate now.
I work at a pet store and a customer recently surrendered a VERY frightened green cheek with very poor socialization. I want to get him comfortable around people and properly socialized before we can adopt him out, thank you so much for this video 😩
This helped me an insane amount. My green cheek is very nervous since being in his new home for a week and by just doing one of these tips, he's gotten closer to me than ever before.
I showed my mom this video and it was the wall breaker to getting a green cheek, my mom never wanted one but I did everything in this video and it helped her be the cutest little feather baby!!! My mom now loves her and started collecting her feathers for my little sister to craft with. Her name is Izzy by the way. At first izzy was very shy but we set up some stands, bought some toys and treats, and built a custom cage. ( big enough for a vulture because my baby deserves the best ) My mom is now a proud grandma
AWEEEE HOW EXCITING!!! This is great news thank you so very much for commenting and letting me know things are going well. Love the crafting idea with the feathers I'll have to look into doing this with my kids. You sound like such a passionate person with your bird I love it. You should be proud of yourself for how far you've come with Izzy. I wish you, your family, and Izzy many many long happy healthy years together :) keep me updated on how things are going please!
Of course!! I will keep you updated for everything that happens, but today we started recall training. It was a rough start because she would always fly to my mom or dad in the room. But we have some quality treats with us. So I let her know I had them, let her try to get them but not quite reaching so she would have to jump to my hand. I guess I started way to far.
@@ceooftherapy6655 that sounds like a great start!! Yoshi used to do that if my kids were in the room. But when I started doing it with just me and him with less distractions in the room he did waaaay better. So cool youre doing trainings with yours. Shows you really care and want to keep working with her. Izzy is a lucky lil birb ☺️
Just found your channel. ✨ so glad. Love your energy, your insight. Have 2 pineapple gcc mutations. Got from pit stop (pet shop) from birthplace to now HOME. Feel we got lucky since got each one from different locations tho same retail...got siblings 🙏 they get along gr8 ♥ like theyve known each other all along. Have budgies, and have been around bigger parrots b4. Researched and bonded. ♡ Subbed n will be looking into your archives n any recent posts. Thank you for being your spunky self n encouraging other birb folks to be helpful. 👏
My bird use to be completely afraid of me and my family. She is mainly around me, but my parents would walk in and she would immediately go to the corner of her cage. I got my bird Sonny to gain my trust by letting her come out of her cage on her own and letting her check me out slowly. She had started to warming up to me and now loves me and my family as she got use to us and me letting her get comfortable on her own. She lets me get her out of her cage by hand and now she’s so happy when I come up to the cage and she’s ready to let her out. I definitely haven’t seen this until a few months after I had Sonny, and I have done most of the things you recommend.
Aweee this is great news!!! I am so happy to hear that Sonny has really came around :) Thank you so very much I hope both of you have a fantastic day
i kinda got him not to bite me so hard now and i love it :)))
You seem to enjoy and love your parrots
Thank you for noticing that!! It's definitely a strange thought to think of life without them. They are such a happy part of my life. I bet if you've got birds you probably think the same way 🤗💜 thank u again.
1:38 you have my respect for not putting your bird back on the post. The biggest problem is being forcing there bird to do something and I’m glad to see you let him do his thing and was patient with letting him come back😅
This is kind of an older post, so I don't know if I will get any advice, but I'm trying anyway! I have had my green cheek, Miller, for about 12 years (got him when he was a baby.) We have always been well-bonded. About 7 years ago, we adopted an Indian ringneck. It took Miller a while to get used to him, but eventually he tolerated him well enough and they actually share a large cage. The ringneck is obsessed with Miller and only wants to be with him. It has turned out well bc I have had 2 children during then and now and have also been a full-time caregiver for my mom. I was glad Miller wasn't without a buddy to keep him company while I was very busy. I still interacted with him every day, but not the same bc he would go out of his way to bite my kids and my elderly mom. The ringneck is very affable, sweet, and friendly to everyone, so I don't worry about my bond with him. But since having kids, it has been hard to have the same connection with Miller that I used to have. I completely understand why, and I'm not surprised. But I don't know how to fix the bond with the ringneck involved. I feel like Miller is half bonded with me and half with the ringneck (whose name is Jr. by the way). But he is not sweet with me anymore, he bites me all the time. It makes me sad and I want to put in the work to fix it. Should I separate them when I take them out of the cage to spend indovidual time with them? Jr. screams the whole time when he can't see Miller. Any advice appreciated.
Subscribed and on board. Will definitely be watching more videos! I purchased a green cheek conure a couple weeks ago and have been working on understanding her more. As we watched your video she sat on me with her hair fluffed and eyes closed. Us establishing a bond has been a journey but u helped me to understand why I have been getting bit so much. I also saw yoshi get in your head and that's one of my tweet tweets fav places to be. Other than when she's trying to nibble on my neck..lol😂
Great video💖🦜 the closed hand is Definitely a powerful trick 💖👍 i just love you guys! Too adorby!!😘🌺

That is one HUGE Quaker.
Thank you , for this informative and educational video , I recently got a pineapple green cheek conure. Now I feel more confident about raising him. Thank you
Thank you so much for posting this!! I started feeling like a terrible new bird mom, and I started crying and beating myself down >n<
When you said that you had tried something new from something you read online and then you lost the birds trust!! I did that too!!
Thank you thank you again!!
Thank you! I know I’m late but, I sat by my bird’s cage and didn’t say anything and didn’t make a ton of eye contact. He finally started playing with his toys so I got a nutriberry out for him and he came over right away. I will keep doing this and then introduce my hand. 😁🦜
Hey girl! This is so cool thank you so very much for commenting and letting me know things have been working with your birdy. You're awesome you should be so proud of yourself for trying so hard!!!! Good luck to you both :)
Love the Nine Inch Nails shirt! 🖤🤍🖤
My mom promised that she’d get me a green cheek.
I CRIED OF HAPPINESS I CSN BREARLY EVN THPE
this video is twisted. that conure is so cute i think my heart is about to seize up.
funny story that i have, one day i really wanted a parakeet so i went to petsmart to look at them. There was the green cheek conure that was just looking at me, i went up to her and she didn’t even run or go to hide. I went up to the parakeets and they flew off. That’s when i knew i had to get the green cheek. I saved up for her and got her and it was the best decision of my life. She warmed up to me as soon as i took her home :)
Thank you so much for this video. I'll be getting a untamed conure that I'll be trying to tame. She's a wonderful bird just not being what it needs
We just brought a pineapple green cheek home and shes the sweetest bird ive ever met and shes only a few months old :)
I was always wacthing you before i got brids and guess what you helped me make my bird fly to me its amazing
I love love love watching your videoes they teach me how to acknowledge green cheek conures and other birds seeing as my dad's getting me a green cheek for christhmas
Hello, we just got our feathered friend last night and he/she has left welts on my arms. So I'm going to try your long sleeve idea.
I really enjoy your videos, they are really great for bird owners!
Oh my birb THANK YOU!!! This was so nice to read :) you're the best!!!!!!!!
I recently got a green cheek and he is not shy at all. Actually he wants to be out of the cage and with me all the time. It’s only been a week and I am so surprised how much we have bonded. He wants to snuggle up under my hair by the side of my neck when he’s tired. My only issue so far is he does get quite the attitude when I need to put him back in his cage. He does get nippy when I try to move him from by my neck.
Hey, so firstly we are UK! And have just brought a 2019 green cheek conure. He's very fearful. He runs away whenever we enter the room, or we are near him, even just putting fresh food and water in the cage. He's not a biter, just a runner. We're not sure on his background life with him being 3 years old but we are willing to train him (we've had parrots before). So he is on a seed diet which we are going to change him to pellets and vegetables. We are trying millet sticks as treats. So... he will take the millet when your hand is so back on the stick. Make it shorter then nope, he's gone. We've only had him 3 days so it's early but what is the best plan of action as he won't let us anywhere near him at all. Won't come on the perch, won't take food. Nothing. He gets let out often but getting him back in is not fun!
Please send help lol
Regards
Liane
Love it🐦
