    Quite a while ago, i volunteered at a local humane society and got to work with a conure (i am not sure the exact soecies.) He was very selective about who he would let near him or take him out of his enclosure. All it took was a few seconds and he was climbing to my shoulder! I couldn't give him a home with me, but i got to see and experience all of his spunk and pizzaz before he found his new family! It makes you feel good when such sweet friends finally find the best homes.

We take the birds, like you, that have been returned again and again after a family no longer wants them and the bird has lost its' way. So much patience is needed. We are looking for a perfect friend for one of little GCC, and like Ginger, she chases away everybody. Maybe someday. Like you, we also keep trying. Thanks, again

    It's good to hear how much Ginger has improved! When I first got my green cheek conure from her previous owner, she was also on an all-seed diet (one of those awful 'parrot mixes' full of peanuts and sunflower seeds'), and all her perches were dowels and were all the same size. While her feet aren't malformed and she has all her toenails,, she had a noticeable wobble whenever she tried to sleep on a perch (she sleeps in a happy hut at night). The wobble has decreased considerably since I switched her perches (all natural perches from non-toxic trees - no more dowels!), changed her diet (a mix of cooked whole grains, veggies, and fruit that I prepare myself), and started flight training, but she still prefers sleeping in her happy hut or having something (or someone) to lean against. She climbs around, but doesn't do as much hanging upside down as other conures, and she can be kind of a klutz. XD
    Otherwise, she's very happy, healthy, and playful, and quite a troublemaker, haha! Her feathers grew in beautifully during her last moult, and she often demands spontaneous flight and trick training sessions. I'm planning to get another green cheek to keep her company at some point.
    I just want to put it out there that anyone who says green cheek conures are easy or good for beginners is either lying or has a truly exceptional bird. While our relationship is unlike any I've had with any other animal, my conure is demanding and sets extremely strict boundaries. If you want the amazing relationship, you have to be prepared to put in the work! :)

It took a long time of not give any attention, not even eye contact. When he was quiet, I would shower him with attention and a healthy treat. They might be the quietest of the conures, but they aren't quiet lol

    What a sad but eventually happy story. Unfortunately, so many people don't do their proper research to know what is involved with having a parrot companion for the bird's lifespan. Then the bird is re-homed multiple times through no fault of their own. And I have heard so many unfortunate stories about unsupervised parrots biting off each other's toes, cats and/or dogs attacking the parrot. I can't even imagine the emotional & social trauma that this causes for an intelligent animal said to have the understanding of a toddler. Not to equate children to a parrot, but I couldn't imagine adopting a 2yr old child, then returning them to the adoption agency 6 months later because I didn't really know about the time commitment or because they cried too much & too loudly. I'm so happy for Ginger now that she has a human & parrot friend that she can trust.

    Ginger is one lucky girl to have a home with you and the other awesome animals at the santuary! she is so adorable! I have been following a parrot rescue on Facebook that is in WA and one of their new residents is a 10 month old Congo African Grey boy that had both his feet chewed off by the parent birds, due to over stressed/crowded breeding conditions in a breeder-hoarder situation. the breeder was going to put him down, but a good Samaritan neighbor took him to the rescue instead :( so young to have such a horrible thing befall him, but he is adjusting well to life with no feet, and scoots around, and gets lots of snuggles. he sleeps in a pack n' play crib because he can't perch in a cage. special needs animals are the best, so much love to give to those willing to understand them

    I have SIX green cheek conures. Pirate (who looks like Ginger, featured in the video) is my 11 year old Green Cheek Conure - we've had him a year now - but he has an uncertain background. We bought him at a flea market when his eye contact and "meeeep" calls won my heart. He is timid and not super friendly with the other birds. I regularly take Pirate for some gentle and quiet one-on-one time, as I am still always assuring him that he is safe, loved, and forever a member of our family. Patience and gentle movements are slowly helping. I will never give up on Pirate!

    My little bird Justice (Yellow-sided Green Cheek w/turquoise mutation) was rescued by a friend from a breeder who was going to kill him after he hatched because he was born missing his right foot completely and all the claws on his left. She hand raised him for the first six months for me and we've been together for the past 5 1/2 years. He's amazing! He's fully flighted because I didn't think it was fair to intentionally handicap him further. Most people don't even notice at first that he's missing his feet because he gets around just fine. Like most Green Cheeks, he's a ton of attitude in a 70 gram package and I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world. For all the abused and neglected birdies in the world, allow me to say thank you for providing these beautiful creatures a safe and loving home!

    I’ve never seen a green cheek in person, and I am soon getting one. However I have seen a cockatiel and multiple budgies.
    I have been researching birds for about 5 years. I can’t wait to get my feathery friend!!! PS- You’re personality seems to be great for social birds!!! I love your work!
