COMPARING SUN & GREEN CHEEK CONURES | WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@ozoumehmillicent2811]

I love green conure so small and adorable like a little bit aggressive

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Mia can be feisty sometimes too!

I just got a sun had her for 3 months. God what a character & gymnast. Thanks your videos are cool.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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

[@vanessaroman-sotolongo324]

Loved your video! We have a sun conure Archie and just recently got a green cheek, Harry. I noticed all of the things you mentioned right away. They are still in the process of acclimating to each other but we hope they will be good friends!

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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

[@courtneyclingan9678]

I went to petsmart today to grab a pooper scooper for my doggos and fell in love with a sun conure there. I had never seen a bird like her before and I was just entranced with her. She seemed so sweet and intelligent and we bonded a bit through her cage. It's unfortunate she is so pricy and we truly don't have a big enough home to accommodate her needs. Your video was helpful in me making the right decision not to get her. But wow, these seem like amazing birds.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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😊

[@ThingsAboutMusic]

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

[@Some_Chick]

Utterly down right love your weirdness! You are so funny! 🖤🖤 I have a Sun Conure named Willow. She is amazing and hilarious. She can say her name and says pretty bird and up up. She recently learned to say peekaboo. It has to be silent just to hear her talk though. But it's so cute tiny robot voice. 🤣🖤

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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

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

[@kingdrew6501]

What did you decide on @chadley

[@chadley]

@@kingdrew6501 i decided to walk away from getting one because the video talked about how clingy they can be and how they need a lot of attention. For someone like me who’s not always at home, it’s best not to get a conure/pet for now. Maybe someday, but for rn i’ll stick to just watching cute conure videos ☺️

[@johnpots4181]

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

[@sandycabral6954]

I love the shirt conure mom 😭

[@PoodlesandParrots]

Thank youuu ☺️❤️

[@NetherBun]

How much time should you spend with youre sun conure a day because I want to get a conure but I have school.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnmsY4Gcnc9rfpo 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!

[@NetherBun]

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

[@EM0RYTATEllll]

I love conures I have no bird, they are my choice. I need to know between these two because I was thinking of green cheeked but I’ve seen and pet a sun conure.. AND I LOVED HIM so I want one but, I don’t know if they are better over green cheeked so this video is for me

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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 🙊

[@leslieknapp9946]

I have a son conyer and was wondering about the wisdom of getting a second one. I know it would be a lot noisier. But how do I know they would get along or that? My current bird would feel abandoned.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqmakmWYj7WJracsi=9pHWwNRLPRiORByO but it will definitely be louder with two! There are steps to take when introducing new birds

[@bigdad123]

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.

[@rejeenbabu582]

Superb..🥰🥰

[@PoodlesandParrots]

thank you! 😊

[@bigsbydog]

I work about 10 hours a day. But when I get home cage is open and I play with my conure for 4 hours a night. I worry that she has too much cage time. I do provide lots of foraging and chew toys.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXiYq2WPr9J5ecksi=QXCFlulXk1fz0q4k

I want a green cheek but I’m nervous to get one because I live in an apartment, once I get a pet I fall in love with them immediately and I could never give up on any animal even if that means I get kicked out.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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 😀

Hello , I just bought a pineapple conure which is 6 months old. The pet store did not know the sex, but said the conure was showing sing of being a female. I could not find a video about pineapple conures. Any tips you have for me would be amazing. We are on day 2 with our new family member , I got bit a lot on the first day the second day was a bit better , I went to kiss my conure and was bitting pretty hard on the my upper lip :( .

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWOygmNpoJWVeKssi=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!🦜

[@randomravenr1510]

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!

[@imRCKLSS]

Looking here to learn which one to get & the girls is stunningly beautiful I'm hooked

[@southeastbikelife400]

Great video but I swear every video I watch the sun conures name is Mango hahahaha

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

[@zainabalsaleh1476]

Do you recommend them for people who are still in school and are away for most of the morning

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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!

[@alexandrarosado5177]

Hi, I have a female sun conure and was thinking on getting a male green cheek, but I am concerned about them breeding. Is this something that can happen?

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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.

[@ginailiadis8061]

Hi there. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I just want to ask one question. Is it better to have 1 or 2 green cheek conures. To keep each other company when their human is not around? I am thinking of getting 2 green cheeks, as I am not available 24/7 to be with them. But also, I have heard that they will not bond with you if there are 2 of them. Is this true?

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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!

[@DonaldHarford]

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.

[@MichelleMod1]

They have all kinds on green cheek mutations that are just as bright as the sun. There are high factor red and even violet

[@PoodlesandParrots]

The high factor red green cheek conures are pretty rare, so seeing one is always special! The more common mutations typically are turquoise, pineapple, yellow-sided, and cinnamon. Sun cheeks, though-those are probably the most unique and the brightest!

[@jenniferCastellano927]

I have never had a green cheek Conure. I only ever had a Sun. Just curious for those who have had both which bite is worse?

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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! 😊

[@jenniferCastellano927]

@@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.

can a green cheek and sun be friends ?

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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!

[@noneyabussinessbtch1917]

My green cheeks say, “pretty bird/boy” “peekaboo” and wolf whistle.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

How cute!!🥰

[@DonaldHarford]

My Sun Conure was called Naples as I love orange. We fell into having her poop on a towel lying g on the back of a curved rocking chair. We din't try to train her but I think she didn't want to do it in her cage. We left the top of the cage off all day and top on with towel at night. She was very talkative and when I left for work (I wear a police uniform) she knew I was going to work and she would say "goodbye Don." She knew several sentences. We did not work hard at teaching her to talk. She always flew to the towel to poop. We never clipped her wings. I didn't want to hinder from flying but my wife answered nthe front door and Naples flew to her shoulder and my wife showed her off of her shoulder and she flew out the door and I couldn't find her. I should have had a sallyport. I miss her so much.

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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!!

[@savanahsommer]

Have to immediately disagree with your first statement. Sun conures are the most commonly rehomed bird due to the noise level. Rescues are FULL of them. Anyone looking to make this choice needs to first and foremost consider whether they’re willing to take on literal hearing loss.

[@savanahsommer]

Also important to note that decibels increase nonlinearly, so green cheeks are not “half as loud.” They’re a *fraction* as loud. 120 decibels rivals a jet engine in volume, whereas a green cheek yelling is about as loud as a human yelling.

[@MarshalliCecconello]

I have a Sun Conure and I love him his name is Zuce, and the second night that I had him I opened the cage door and Zuce flew from the cage right to me and Zuce has slept with ever since if I put Zuce in the cage for night he squires so loud so unluck the Cage door and he comes to the bed, I know that they say that u should not let your bird sleep with u but I enjoy having Zuce in bed with me because he cuddles against me. Here is Zuce in bed with me

[@PoodlesandParrots]

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.

[@WastedElephant]

If you want to go both deaf and mental, get a sun conure. Our sun was a rescue, so we didn't get to pick. We love him, and he's absolutely awesome, but we will not get another one once he passes. Pls do not pick out a bird for its plumage. You will wish you went for a different criteria. Also, half moon conures are even smaller and quieter 😁
