Just left a comment on the green cheek conure right for you about this LOL. Wow this makes a lot of sense the breeder I got my baby from was a mother daughter Asian breeders, my wife is Asian, no wonder he is her cuddle buddy LOL. My baby's name now changed to cuddles ugh. My wife called him that and he goes straight to her after only a day of calling him that WTH. He keeps playing peekaboo in her long hair hahah and she never had a bird as a pet LOL.

Got one last week and I love him, yes he messy but Im disabled and home all day so I take care of him and play with him a lot, what drives me crazy is when the wife comes home from work that little troublemaker completely ignores me and starts being super clingy with the wife like I don't exists errr. He starts acting like a cockatiel all innocent and a couch potato, maybe he is bi-polar or split personality LOL. And don't even think of sitting close to the wife he starts wing flapping and screeching ugh. Got a parrot lost a wife WTH. Where ever the wife goes he goes bedroom, bathroom, shower, kitchen he like a puppy sheshh. Thinking of getting myself a sun conure or a dusky conure. Thought about a caique but not sure about those getting along with a green cheek.

Your voice reminds me of Mrs Incredible’s voice😂

Hey so I have had my bird for a bit now Nike a few years and idk how to get him to stop biting and at the same time to bond with him he has aggression and territorial Quaker mode so I don’t know what to do

Why do you own a Conure? You have a very negative aspect on these Parrots. I would like you to sell your Conure to your BFF, and let them know this Conure. Just think, less sweeping up to do?

Don't do a Video of How wonderful a Parrot is, and how to engage with it, on the hand (that bites you) don't make a Video how awful a Parrot really is! You should be so ashamed of yourself to do this interaction/s!

If an Animal is the "Runt of the Litter," which means less cared for, it can grow mean. If there was no love given to an Animal, it can be a danger to Owners. Just as if an Owner trains a good Dog to be vicious!

I Love my Conuse, but did biting come with the instructions on these Birds? Never Cage a Mean Bird, they will not be a very good investment. These Birds need training before placed in Pet Stores. Then they will be easier to enjoy.

This woman was on U-Tube talking about how much she doesn't like Conuse.

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.

We got our Quaker hunny 2 months ago when he landed on my shoulder in the backyard I instantly fell in love since I had been wanting a bird especially a parrot and thought it was either a Quaker or monk parrot but got confirmed at the vet but it had seemed to be tamed based on how it acted so I was a little hurt but knew I had to put flyers out but no one responded to them so I adopted him and named him hunny he’s the sweetest thing ever and constantly kisses me and plays peekaboo he dose tend to peck at fingers and ears though and want to see if there’s any way I can fix that cause he always bounces and makes a laughing noise after doing it we don’t know how to fix this behaviour as I’ve never owned a bird before but I love this parrot

Your discipline plan sounds great ❤ ty

thanks you for your video, one my budgie died, and I was thinking if I would but a different companion for him but different breed. Your video clearly show that my birds are angels

With my green cheek I have breakfast with him. It took a long time to get him to trust me. How do you get him out of bitting? He be fine then he will just bite for no reason. . How do I work him out of it?. Mine chases me through the house , he likes to land on me it's funny.

My green cheek he flys to me hangs out on my shoulder. Why I do stuff. If a loud noise happens he bites then flys away. They are moody one day they are nice, next day bite for no reason.

Do you poo around the house or are they trained?

Thank you. Can you explain perches? Like the pvc pipe perch you are using? What is that blue tape? What types of things can I get from Home Depot that is safe for bird to be on and play with?

Thank you for this video. I got a green cheek that had been at petsmart for over a year and slowly working on building trust.

My conures keep running away from me no matter what they don’t even try their treat or anything what do i do?

My wife and I just got a conure and we have some questions on how to proceed. She comes closer and lets me pet her head . Trying to teach it to perch on my finger before I let her out of the cage. How should we do it?

we have one that's taken an actual chunk out of my gf's hand. we got two from a neglected home and have had them a few months now and made a lot of progress but they are both very aggressive so tips to any newbs don't buy an untamed bird. pay the extra money for a hand fed well taken of bird because you might not like what you get otherwise. I've had tamed ones they are way easier to handle. untamed may possibly never become tamed. keep that in mind when you are trying to save money and buy second hand.

Loved the video! My daughter is dealing with an unruly turquoise now. (draws blood) From chickens to Indian ringnecks lots of birds flock in the wild. Built in they (mostly males) have a passive trait where they are always pushing to be the alpha so that their DNA is carried forward with better mating opportunities food options etc. I found that a bird (even if it respects you as the alpha) will always naturally try to push that border. Some basic things you do can allow them to overcome your "perceived status" in the flock. The respect will be pushed and sometimes they need a subtle reminder that you are in charge. It's a delicate balance because, you are not a bird, and not a potential mate. But their brain tries to place you into a category: From a male birds perspective: Threat because fear (of injury/life) which most wild birds categorize us as Threat because alpha (Flock mate with respect) Non-threat because they consider you lower on the flock pecking order (beta) Non-threat because mate (beta female) Unfortunately male and female birds do not know how to define your sex and will try to read from other queues. When petting, stay away from their middle to lower back. Often times the alpha in a flock will help guide them to food/drink. That is why treats work as an incentive. It's one of the most powerful tools you have, second to that being patience and trying to think about the birds perspective when handling. Imagine a giant 1000lb hand reaching down to grab you and pushing your head around smashing their finger into your face. Being VERY gentle once you've gained basic trust will help build trust faster. When they realize you are gentle, they are more willing to work with you. After this stage you can work from the pecking order psychology much easier as you will be "accepted" into their flock. My predicament now is inconsistency. Inconsistency makes training nearly impossible (especially potty related.) My kids always wanted to hold my bird and they wouldn't listen to him when he let them know he had to go and so he eventually stopped giving queues. I also caught them chasing him once he fell off their shoulder. So he no longer waits to poop, and also bites pretty bad as he perceives fingers as a potential threat (fear) Going through retraining now but it's rough after being invalidated. (treats are your friend) Stick to positive reinforcement most as negative can be retroactive in some cases.

“If they break skin and see what they’re capable of it can really escalate.” Yes, yes it did. Shes only like 6 months old and I look like a substance user and my murder chicken thinks shes a god 😭

Watching after 5 years. Thanks.

Your a Gem

Aye. . . Where’d you go? Just found you smh

the voice is hard to listen to. It's high pitch and loud and melodramatic. really wish i could get through all of this video😢. Is there any filtering of the tone ? Thanks. ur cube is beautiful❤

"I spend all this time trying to pebble dash the walls and then the hooman comes along and cleans off all my hard work !"🐦

They want to tear begginers apart because they are losers with narcissistic personality disorder that believe they are the only ones fit to have birds and thats the only thing they have in their lives, if you take that from them then they are not special anymore. You on the other hand seem like a nice person and informative, there is no need to be rude if you are not insecure, everyone has to start at anything you want to do in life, no one starts with knowledge and experience. It's the pussyfication of society to tell you the truth, too much social media, too much easy life, too much comodities, humans are becoming weak.

You're not small, by the way! All your thoughts are very worthy, and thank you so much for your time!

A water bottle isn’t very good for a bird, it can be hard for them to stay hydrated because of the water bottle only distributes a certain amount and is extremely hard to clean properly, especially plastic ones that bacteria loves to cling to even if you wash it. Certain plastics also attract mites so you gotta be cautious. Most experienced bird owners say not to use a water bottle for this reason. Even hamsters get heavily dehydrated. My personal opinion is to use multiple water dishes, you don’t gotta change the water every two hours just have one for bathing and a couple for drinking, make the ones for drinking small enough the bird isn’t as interested in bathing in them. Birds tip their heads back to swallow water, drinking from a bottle is unnatural and difficult for them.

why do you complain about very bird species like seriouly, let people expriences it and then they will understand.

I really dislike the term beginner bird. Even budgies can live over a decade, parrotlets twice as long. Beginner bird to me suggests the bird is disposable or will be ignored when the keeper then gets the bird they really wanted in the first place, or that you’re going to end up with multiple demanding parrot species who all need one on one attention. If you have a species in mind that you really wanted in the first place, why not just volunteer with a bird rescue and then foster until you’re sure that’s the one you want and you have the experience to care for it? Personally, the little birds are my dream birds anyway. I like the smaller, less talky birds, I’ve never desired an African grey or a big macaw. Though I do love galahs but that is never gonna happen lol.

How did u get your birds to b ok with your nails???? I have always had long stilletos but my new quaker seemed so scared when I would go anywhere near her so when I got my fill I had them shorten them so much, now I feel naked lol

I have been trying to find new videos you have done. Where did you go?

I wish I trained kiwi in this way, she had issues with respect and such. For awhile she got real aggressive over her food and so I started feeding her in a different way and managed to teach her patience but I feel I could of built a better bond if I trained her more (kiwi is unfortunately no longer with me but I can apply this info to the next bird I get 😊) Great video 👍

More conure videos please!! You rock!

You said talkers would be listed in your video description I do not see the list

What is the material called that is on the pvc pipes?

She speaks at a normal pace at 2x speed lmaooooo

i don’t like the term “beginner bird” because that sounds like you’ll never get the same bird again.

I'm so glad I found your site.😂

My conure and i have a bond but recently he started biting me when it was time to go in the cage few days ago he bit me til i literally started bleeding and he wouldn’t let go i started screaming cause of the pain and now whenever i bring him out he bites me like that everytime I don’t do what he wants

My most tamed bird was a finch

Poor Budgies! What made me vey sad and cross was a young bloke years ago who bought an African grey Parrot- this poor bird lived in a smoky, cold house {open fire and the owner smoked a lot } - the bird was likely an illegal import, and unsurprisingly the bird died of a respiratory illness a few weeks after purchase. He looked so miserable with fluffed up feathers.

My Green Cheak is very smart. He talks, and with combinations with his acts tells us what he wants. I’m the only one that he bites despite all the love he gets from me. However, he sits in my neck or chest and plays peacefully, and all of a sudden he bits me with no warning.

Just got two green cheeks who were mistreated by previous owners. Hoping to earn their trust soon!
