Thanks for the videos! I’ve kind of got my heart set on getting one of these little guys. My husband is allergic to cats & dogs, and I’ve had animals all my life. We both stay home and have no children. I could use some bird company lol. I haven’t had a bird, though, so I am researching like crazy beforehand, and your videos have helped a lot!
I’m really glad the videos have been useful! A conure is a good shout especially if you’re preparing well! Also they are less dusty than other parrots so are less likely to irritate your husbands allergies
Thank you for this video! Very informative & helpful. I found a conure outside yesterday, waiting to hear from the owner. Never owned a bird before but I'm smitten with the lil guy 🥰
Glad it was useful! Lots more conure content on the channel! Hopefully they either find a great place with you or go back to where they were lost from!
It definitely is possible! But it does require a slightly more cautious approach! I have a good video about introducing and bonding two birds that may be worth watching!
Look at their diet and see if it’s healthy and balanced! Also do a treat heirarchy test ( I have a video on this too) by testing what they like out of different things!! Try fresh squeezed juices and small bits of fruit along with seed for motivation
@@TheParrotTeacher Thanks - I have been watching your video's and have had him for a well bird check up at the vet since he is new, so he is on Nutri-An Cakes, In Tune Pellets, fresh fruit and veg, and the occasional Nutri-Berry or two. He seems confused when I offer things - he just stares at me like "And... what do I do with this again?" He is also 8 months old and terribly bitey. I am following instructions by reading his behavior and not forcing him to do things. I let him come to me when he is ready and he does. It's just that I can't do any training until I find a high value treat. I will do the treat test and see what happens! Thanks for the excellent video's!
I just got an green cheek and she is so mean bites! She’s been at PetSmart for 6months! Is it too late for her to come around? We can’t do anything with her
I love your videos!!! I purchased a Green cheek about 5 months ago and I am training now .I know he''s starting to talk because he's mumbling some words but I can't hear them. He's not projecting the words yet. I also have a parakeet who is much older and never talked.Since Spidey came she is so happy that she chirps constantly. Is she possibly stopping Spidey from talking or projecting the words??? If anyone knows please let me know.
Hey there, It’s unlikely that your other bird is impacting on your conure speaking! If there’s something specific you’d like them to say or sound to make try to repeat it often and also capture it with rewards! Be aware not all conures will talk or chat as much as others though!
@@TheParrotTeacher Thanks for the guidance. I've owned cockatoos and amazons also parakeets but,no conures. They learned to speak somewhat quickly. But Spidey is taking a while. Being patient and keeping at it !!!
Can i treat my sick conure myself all doctors ik are useless only wants money, i never brought conure it came at my home and never went recently she is acting abit aggressive and making unusual sounds what should i do for it
So you should never do that yourself. First aid is fine but anything else needs an avian vet. That sounds like she may be hormonal. You should check out my hormone series and conure behaviour videos!
I have 13 month old green cheek conure. She will take seeds from me, she hangs upside down etc but won't allow me to touch her. Not sure how to proceed. Could use some advice?
My 2 year old male conure bites me really hard (sometimes I even bleed) when he sees someone he doesn’t like (usually my dad or my brother) why does he bite me when im “his favorite” ? I read something about displaced aggression, if thats the case how can I make it stop?
Displaced aggression is definitely a likely cause. He can’t get at the thing he’s scared or cross at so he takes it out on you. I have multiple videos on biting and conure behaviour worth peeking at!
I am very new at working and caring for a Green Cheek Conure. It was very easy to introduce my Conure to some vegetables but I had not been able to get him interested in fruits. I have tried the tricks I did when I introduce to him the vegetables but they are not working. I eat and I offer him a clean piece. I had put them in sweet potato but it doesn't work. He still goes for his seeds and vegetables. Is there any way to detach him from the seeds from the pet store and get him use to his fruits and veggies?
So firstly it’s awesome he’s eating his veggies! I have to admit it’s unusual for a conure to not like fruit, many go crazy for it! But honestly I’d just keep at it and remember he only needs a little fruit as part of his diet! My partner Sophie has a great video on getting birds to eat fruits and veggies on her channel that’s worth watching!
Thanks so much! I wasn't told that I should be handling my baby boy turquoise green cheeks Leo...he was born 8.8.23...I have had him since Groundhog day this year...2.2.24. He is the sweetest but due to a house full of kitties and an Aussie he hasn't been out of his cage much. I will be moving his large cage just outside out my bedroom in a quieter place of the house in hopes to move cage into my room so he can be free in a safe space. Any hints to help appreciated. 🩵🍀🦜
are both your birds green cheeked, my new conure is rooming side by side with my sister in laws conure, their cages are next to each other but when i move they would be separated is that gonna cause depression between them
Im about to get a pinneaple conure, but i dont know if its a female or male, what are the diferrence between a male and a female i hardly find any vids about this topic, and if i find any theyre in hindi. So can you please tell me thx
I have a video on that topic on my channel! As for differences looks wise there are none. Behaviour wise females “tend” to be a little cuddlier but it all depends on the individuals!
So the little guy is probably very scared and a bit like wtf is going on! He’s likely clinging to you as well because he’s a solo bird and they are used to constant company! I’d give him time, let him settle and also work on basic training and giving him other things to do!
@@TheParrotTeacher thank you very much for the reply ,I've spent the whole day doing research on conures too, I'm already understanding him a lot more .thank you
Awesome and doing some homework is so helpful to know what you’re getting into! When you can start doing some target training with him along with formal step up training using high value treats! But don’t be afraid to just let him settle in!
Love your videos, getting my gcc in a couple of days and your videos are amazing! My guy will be 10 months old, I’m just wondering may that affect bonding and training?
Very interesting video. How load would you say a conure are compared to a loadly barking dog? Also, are they constantly loadly noisy or would it be more like bursts of noisiness, and more chirps for the most part? If they do bursts of very noisy, how frequent? Is it any particular time of day? Also the information on sleeping needs was very useful. It basically rules them out (possibly all parrots) for me the next year and a half, as it would be hard to provide enough downtime in my current flat. More time to learn 👍The species seem like lovely birds that I will consider in the future. Great video, as usual!
Sadly most parrots will have high sleeping needs due to their biology! As for the noise level is really varies from Conure to conure! They can all be very loud at times and quieter at other times! You could consider a pionus!
You can use all sorts! I have a substrate guide if you’d like to explore more formal types. But people use natural dyed crinkle paper, shredded printer paper, toy parts etc
We remember you said they're best kept in pairs so we finally adopted a second, but she's very anxious and is consistently aggressive towards him, lunging and nipping at him. She loves my husband but tries to bite our resident bird Peach whenever he comes near. He clearly wants to cuddle (he got hold of one of her tail feathers and was preening it--while I had my hand as a wall between the two). Is that still better than being solo? Or will she eventually warm up to him? Does it have something to do with how attached she is to humans?
Hey there, So bringing in another bird is always a potentially complex thing! While we advise on multi bird households we also make it clear that birds may not always get on! I have a good couple of guide videos on how to bond two birds together which will hopefully begin building a bond between them!
@@TheParrotTeacher is it bad that my male cockatiel is around his 70s to 80s at the most. He has always been smaller then the others and very light feeling
it is very simple _and for me it works all life i have 4 different feeder boxes they are all full with different food all the time & that's it one spoon, half spoon after morning, for evening 😂 yes people have cocktails live up to 10,15 year's only on flower seeds & change water once in a week soooo
Ok, I’m not sure im getting your meaning? Humans live drinking and smoking upto 60 but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t kill many others. Cockatiels can last upto 30 so 10-15 is a bit crap tbh .. so…
My mother rescued two Green Cheek Conures from a bad store. I help take care of them, so I’m trying to learn more.
Awesome!
Same I adopted one yesterday and he is so clingy will not stay off me.
@@tommyfoley462 aww 🥰

It could be worth adjusting the pellet he’s on as it has lots of filler! The nutri berries could maybe be used for some things too training wise!
