Hi Victoria! I just found you and am really enjoying learning about my green cheek conure that I just got 2 days ago. I had a sun conure years ago that I loved so much so now I finally have a new baby and am feeling so frustrated! He won’t let me near him without a big fight, but once I get him out in a towel he loves his head and beak scratched and closes his eyes and is very calm. I just can’t remember how to get to the point where he isn’t trying to attack me every time I reach into his cage for him. I have cats and dogs in the house so I can’t just leave his cage open and have to reach inside it to physically interact with him. Please help!! I watched your video on it but I wanted to see what you suggest for one that calms down once he’s in a towel. Thanks so much!!❤️

[@yolandamontgomery6682]

Very encouraging ❤

[@Flockstars]

Here from Parrot Town, 😘 love your babies. A thought I had in pvc play gym building...once upon a time ago I learned stand alone basket ball hoops had water filled in the base, I feel water is impractical but sandbox sand is sold in bulk pretty cheap and weighs things down as well, sand bags are used to balance hot air balloons. Anyways do you think adding sand to the base of the pvc tube gym could help keep it balanced and secure?

[@VictoriaRyann]

Hey girl!!! Thank you 😊 well I asked my husband since he knows more about figuring out things like this! He said it would help a little and definitely wouldn't hurt to try.. but more than likely not going to do much. Laying a sandbag over it would do a whole lot more than putting it in the tubes.

Hi! I did all the perches except one so far. How do you protect your car seat from bird poops while they’re on the “car seat perch”??

[@pinkpixie913]

Your birdies are so cute what is your conure wearing? And how the heck did you get him to wear It? I have a green cheek yours looks behaved I wish mine wasn’t nervous. Noises scare him easily when I take him out of his cage.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Thank you!!! It's this one www.flightquarters.com/bird-diapers/product/blue-jean-baby-flightsuit.html and at first he wasn't a big fan of it but every time I'd put it on, I brought him in a calmer room with lots of treats around. Baby talked him through the whole process and he did great 😊 he would pick at it a lot for a few days but I'd take him outside right after putting it on so he'd be distracted and not pay attention to chewing the harness.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Sorry yours is nervous about noises!! I bet if you keep working with him and give it time he will come around 😊😊😊 everything will be fine!

[@steveg43uk]

Love your videos. Can we ask you questions. I've had green cheek conjures for almost 10 years , the 2 I got were a breading pair, but they never mated. The male joey died recently, he had bad seizures, but it killed him very quickly. The female is called Nora and was unaffected emotionally when joey passed. Weve noticed recently that Nora is plucking her feathers around her neck, its quite worrying. We have been trying to train her to come out of her cage, but we have to wait till 8pm, as we have 4 cats and they go to bed. Nora has ventured out once, but not for long, as she seems to want to sleep after 8pm. Any tips would be great. Im in the UK btw.

[@debrawestbrook8960]

You should be able to use it. I think vet tape might be cheaper, but it's the same thing just branded differently.

[@aliceinwonderland6208]

Oh my birp!!!! I love pobbles, sorry if I misspelled his name. I just got a quaker 3 months of age and he Is of blueish green color and his name is Beetlejuice. I feed him pellets, vegetables, fruits etc.... I was wondering what your routine is for pobbles in breakfast, lunch, dinner and in between. I have so many questions although I've researched for about a year on its care. I just love your channel and your babies looks so happy. Thank you in advance and good luck everyone

[@VictoriaRyann]

Ahhhh thank you!!! I flipping love the name Beetlejuice for a Quaker oh my birb is that fitting 😂 well for mine personally, I give them about 2 tbs each of majority veggies and pellets in the morning. I'll toss a piece of fruit in at the bottom as a little foraging treat. For dinner I give them 2tbs fruits veggies and some seeds mixed since they got their nutrition for the day in the morning. Throughout the day they will get nutriberries as training treats and of course the occasional snacks my kids sneak around and give them 🙄😅 but as far as meals go it's breakfast and dinner. Thank you again and good luck to you and your lil birb 😊

[@aliceinwonderland6208]

Thanks for the reply sorry took long to say that....my pipes in the wall burst and I got flooded but all is well. So when your home do you leave your birds out to wonder all day. Some people do. I leave Beetlejuices cage open and he goes in and out all over it’s cage and rarely glides down. Daily, I occasionally to bond with him, take it with me and give it love and talk to him and try to train him. Is that okay or should he be out and about. I don’t want a caged bird and I’m home all day because of my spinal injury so he’s not alone. It’s why my husband got him for me for our ten year anniversary. And are all types of perches good for him I read some give arthritis. I have so far just one grapevine perch but it’s big and in cage. Thank you and sorry for the paragraph lol I like the most of all parrot owners.

[@aliceinwonderland6208]

I like you the most of all parrot owners is what I meant to say*

[@VictoriaRyann]

@@aliceinwonderland6208 Thank you your comments made me smile 😊😊 well as far as your bird being out all day this is what my personal experience has been... I used to let Yoshi and Popples be out all day and do whatever they want. I've found by doing this they didn't listen to me, harness trainings were more difficult, and they were more destructive. I thought I was doing the right thing because like you, I didn't want to cage my birds. But I've noticed it's quality over quantity. Of course my birds hated the harness because any other time they got to do as they please and didn't want something tethering them. Now, I take them out of the cage for breakfast, I'll train them for a few minutes, sit and talk to them while I plan my day, and they go back to their cage while I got some things done in the house. They still have toys in there and I'm constantly talking to them and bringing them treats when I come in the room. Then a couple hours later I'll take them out and let them get some exercise and interact together. I've seen great results with this over letting them do whatever they want.

[@VictoriaRyann]

@@aliceinwonderland6208 as far as the perches go I'd say as long as you got a variety they'll be fine. The main perch that they sleep on I recommend a more natural wood textures over the cement ones or dowel rods. Since they will be on that one the majority of the time. But overall as long as there plenty of different ones to choose from and the back and front nails almost touch each other sleeping one that would be fine. That is the sweetest that your husband got you a bird for your anniversary ❤️ sounds like you've got a keeper 😉 hope your injury heals quickly you're in my thoughts and prayers 🥰🥰🥰 oh and sorry for my long paragraph too. 😂😂

[@stevehall3474]

Hey again! How do you discipline Yoshi? Our GC has been acting up and thus has been given more “cage” time. I know he is just being a bird, but he has been more aggressive and not minding lately. Im thinking he is getting into his version of terrible twos, as he is about a year old now. Any thoughts on if putting him in his cage a little earlier would be a good idea? I dont want him thinking his home (meaning cage) is a punishment. Thanks! 😀

[@VictoriaRyann]

Oh hey Steve!!! Hope you and your family are well. Well here's the deal, I've tried multiple different forms of discipline with Yoshi and here's what has worked best with us. Obviously you don't want to jeopardize your bond and trust with him but he still needs rules. Still keep hands only for positives. Carry treats in your pocket you're gonna need them lol. If you're off work on a weekend, I'd spend a Saturday working with him. In the morning when you go to take him out, have him step on your arm, perch, whatever you usually use to get him out of the cage. This establishes the authority that it's you who's letting him come out. Not him deciding and controlling the situation. Play with him for a little bit get some exercise whatever your typical morning routine is. Then put him back in the cage for a couple hours or so. The goal here is practicing your authority and letting him know he does not dictate when and where what he gets to do and go. I never let mine fly around the house naked and wild all day long anymore lol. The time you spend with him is quality not quantity. If you haven't already, start considering some simple target training. Everytime he lands on a perch that you are ok with him being on, let him bite off a piece of nutriberry or whatever he likes. Then practice the next target being your shoulder, arm, whatever you want him to land on you when you ask him to fly to you. Once he does something you like, treat him. Let's say he's on your lamp and you don't want him to be, come up with a noise that would only be used for disciplining. Like a shhhh sound for example. Do the noise, approach him assertively but not alarming and find a way to deter him off the lamp without using hands. Once he's off and lands on a nearby perch that you want him on, treat him. A lot of positive reinforcement, being assertive calmly, and practicing your authority is what's going to help! I wouldn't use the cage as a form of discipline unless he's just being Mr. Nippy pants and simply needs a break at his cage. Hope this helps you and if any of it ends up working or not working let me know!!
