Mia can be feisty sometimes too!

Yayyy!😃🙃🤗🥰

I’m glad the video was helpful for you!💛 it’s hard not to fall in love with sun conures they are amazing, beautiful & very intelligent birdies😊

More people need to see videos like this. There are to many tropical birds being re-homed for the wrong reasons. The 'shops' need to raise their prices to make people stop and consider the birds needs above their impulse buy because they think the bird is cute

Thank you 😊💖 Archie & Harry are cute names ☺️ wishing you & your conures all the best!

Thank you!❤

they are very big personalities and love to be active😁 thank you!❤

Thank you!😆🥰 && Willow sounds amazing 🤩 so cute & smart!

Lol minz is the sam she's kiko & 7 months. She hello baby & sounds like a wee frog.

How to potty train a conure like GCC? Also is it best to get a baby and raise it or get an adult?

You’re most welcome! 🦜 🦜 Thank you for the positive feedback & as always I am happy that my videos are helpful and informative 😃🙏🏼

Thank youuu ☺️❤️

thank you! 😊

Thank you!😊 have a clawsome day!

Thank you 🙂 green cheeks aren’t terrible 😣 they just need the right care 🫶🏼 cheers!

I’ve turned into the crazy Conure lady, I love them they are so cute but a handful😀

@@PoodlesandParrots I never thought I could love a bird sooo much until I got Peanut and Sunny ♥️♥️

@@EmilyPatterson-vj4cc I know🥰 it’s amazing how much we connect with them💖

The meanest green cheek i'd ever met was sold at my store and they returned to him because he was so mean. I think the people must have shaken him loose when he bit them or something because he was all scared and traumatized when he came home. I felt so bad had to bring him home with me, now he is the sweetest bird ever. I just took Prego to get pictures done with Santa Claus at the Petco today. It was a good time. He let everyone handle him Every time he would perch on someone's finger. He would bow his head and beg for them to pet him. I never thought I would be a bird person but I love him so much

This was the perfect video for you, then! I hope it helped you. 😊 Sun conures have much brighter colours but they are also much louder 🙊

Let me know if you want a sun conure. I have a pair available looking to rehome.

Have you seen this video 💛 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr2PeMuZyL-xmZ8.html

You could consider a mate for your bird in the future (hopefully they would bond!) and it's good that there are lots of toys, foraging and opportunities for play. If there is someone else at home like family that could spend time with your bird during your work day that would also beneficial. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja1lrZWK39Oqc5s.htmlsi=QXCFlulXk1fz0q4k

We live in an apartment with a green cheek, & I’m sure many people would say don’t worry about what your neighbours think everyone is free to choose their pets! Green cheeks can be noisy but there are much louder birds including a sun or jenday Conure! If you decide on getting one considering adopting as there are many birds who need a good home ❤️but there’s a lot to consider when thinking about a bird. Check out The Parrot Podcast for more tips and to hear from many other parrot owners about their experiences 😀

Just this!; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja1dncZzmMXRf4k.html

A turquoise Conure is a type of green cheek Conure so yes it’s comparable to a green cheek - Mia is a turquoise green cheek Conure 😀

Yes it can happen, they can become mates if they get along and the female can lay eggs so it's important to know about egg laying, hormones and having a bonded pair. I would encourage you to check out our podcast episodes that talk about this and guests that share their experiences like in episode 6... or 22.

Parrots need a few hours of daily attention, so you can leave your conure alone while you're at work or school for a few hours and spend quality time with them while you are home before and after. While you’re out I recommend a big aviary with lots of safe toys, foraging opportunities, etc. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq55ZbGXzdCceGw.html I wfh so I personally spend more hours of the day with my bird than not but not everyone has the same schedule or situation and that’s okay as long as there is a good balance and you meet the birds needs for socializing, attention, exercise, diet, etc each day. Cheers!

@@PoodlesandParrots thank you so much for replying! thanks for the tips :)

I don’t think it’s a bad idea for them to have a friend if their own kind but there is no guarantee that they will get along I would recommend ep.6 of the parrot podcast kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bt5nlJWTv7a6p3k.htmlsi=9pHWwNRLPRiORByO but it will definitely be louder with two! There are steps to take when introducing new birds

hey it’s 4 months later I don’t know if you went forward with this yet or not. Parrots are good in pairs, but note that your conure may seem less social or willing to interact with you(as opposed to their partner) if they do end up a bonded pair.

I can’t answer this in just a comment as it’s complex! You need to do a lot of reasearch on your species, I also suggest bonding tips kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZh_hJNk0JbGcn0.htmlsi=KTYt52DfobClqTVj and checking out The Parrot Podcast for more tips and insights from different parronts. Unfortunately I think the pet store just told you whatever they thought you wanted to hear because there is no actual way to know if a GCC is a female or male other than by doing testing with an avian vet. They do not show signs of what gender they are especially when they are such babies, if it was an older bird that has for example laid eggs 🥚 before then you would know it’s a female but that’s not the case. I also have a video on understanding biting, diet, hormones, molting, all things to know and understand when having a bird. Best of luck!🦜

I just want to add.. a pineapple conure is just the color mutation name of a green cheek conure. It’s a green cheek with a pineapple color mutation! You’ll be able to do plenty of research just looking up green cheek conures!

I think my other video will be helpful for you in this case! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr2PeMuZyL-xmZ8.html best of luck!

Choosing to have 1 or 2 is up to you but there are a few things to consider; One cannot guarantee that any two parrots will tolerate one another or become good friends. But we do, need to accommodate our birds' need for companionship, whether human or feathered. It is true that if the birds bond they will choose each other but that does not mean that you will not be able to bond with them. If your bird is raised with another, they will more likely bond with each other and get along beautifully. Hope this helps!

I have had both. I had a single Sun Conure named Naples cuz of her orange feathers but they are so beautiful in yellow, orang, green, and maybe another color. The green cheeks I got were already grown. An male and a female. The make but the crap out of me. He was bonded to her and no room for me. So, I would think there would not have been a problem if I had only one. I am also sure that my sun conure was a female. I am not sure I would get along with a male green cheek but I haven't had a lot of experience so this is just speculation.

Thank you for the reply. It was very helpful. Love your videos. 😊❤️

@@ginailiadis8061 you’re welcome ☺️ & thank you!🥰🫶🏼

Sun conures bites are worse in my opinion, they have stronger beaks and Mango has broken skin before whereas Mia hasn't (although if she wanted to I am sure she could). Sun conures are bigger in size/weight compared to green cheeks and so naturally they have more strength. I even notice it in the types of toys they like to destroy. Mango loves toys with wooden bits and can easily break toys apart compared to Mia, whereas she prefer toys with more paper, cork type materials; softer types of toys if that makes sense! 😊

@@PoodlesandParrotsI figured but was curious. My Sun is 20 years old. Mine is fairly quiet so I lucked out. At first I thought I had a defective one LOL! Yes her voice can get loud but she hardly ever goes full volume.

I only recommend parrots as pets if someone has done a lot of research and has the time for them because they are a big commitment and responsibility and they do need time dedicated to them daily. I personally would say it’s better if someone is home most of the day but consider listening to The Parrot Podcast from more insights from other parrot owners too!

Thank you this comment and video were super helpful forme love you❤

It’s the most common sun Conure name 😂 Mango or Sunny 😅

Sorry, I missed this! Here's a salad video I did: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtSYbNeIlbmlgmQ.html :)

Me

How cute!!🥰

Unfortunately this is quite dangerous and a lot of people have lost their birds this way… It’s also not natural for them to sleep this way, they typically sleep perched up.

Naples is so adorable and smart!! Conures really are intelligent and they catch on quickly😊. That is so awful to hear, I’m so sorry 😣 if it wasn’t too long ago I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you find her!! Try posting in local fb groups and across social media, ask neighbours… there’s always a chance🤞🏼

🤗🤗🫶🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼

I’ve seen it before but it really depends on their personality not all birds will get along or like each other just like humans! It’s also important to keep in mind that a sun conure is a bit bigger than a GCC with a stronger beak so you want to ensure they don’t get into a squabble!

For real though
