I couldn't agree more. We have two crimson bellied and a green cheek. The crimson bellied are definitely more high strung and unpredictable than our green cheek. I guess you never really know what the personality of a conure will be. Our crimson bellied are hand raised female siblings. One is sweet and affectionate, the other is very unpredictable and even vicious at times. Both of the crimson bellied are very territorial and protective of their cage. I've been bitten many times putting food into their cage. All three get along beautifully with each other. Our green cheek is so much more even tempered and easy going than either of the crimson bellied. All in all I would recommend green cheeks over the crimson bellied, especially for people with little experience with birds.

Also thank you so much for making these videos, as it helps me to be more tolerant and not feel so alone with the crimson chaos

What substrate did you use for that foraging box at 2:00-2:10? I had tried a bedding substrate for a foraging box but even after sifting the dust out (I also use an air purifier) it didn’t work out. It caused my green cheek irritation so I removed it until I can find an alternative. Thanks in advance!
@TheParrotTeacher5 ай бұрын
Definitely do not want any substrate that has excess dust in it, you were right to remove it! The one used here is called easichick, I actually have videos on substrate worth checking out!

I have been using natural beech wood chips sold for use in barbecue and smoking for years and it's been great. It's dust free and sterilised, avaliable in different sizes and rated for human food consumption so you get a high quality product. It's also affordable and should be readily avaliable.

5 years ago I went along with what the internet said about crimsons being the quietest and calmist of the conure clan, so that’s what I got. My girl is FULL of personality including changing her mood in a split second 😳, she’s taught me how to read her body language and to always be on the ball with that. I got her a crimson boyfriend and he’s nuts and loving all at the same time. He’s 2 1/2 so hoping his skittishness will eventually calm down. Oh and his screaming….constant screaming when he wants to come out of his cage is something special 😳😳😳😳 and I love them to bits

They are definitely educational!! You either learn and adapt or end up having trouble!

I have never seen a Crimson Bellied Conure in person before. They are so beautiful. My 2 Conures are a regular ggc and a yellowsided ggc. They are such silly birds. Was it Charlie that says "baby baby" on one of Sophie's shorts. So adorable ❤

That’s right! They seem to be very good at picking up vocals, more so than green cheeks (although this is anecdotal to ours)

I have one of each and i completely agree 😊 both species are amazing but crimsons are more difficult to handle than green cheeks. I wouldnt recommend a crimson unless youre an experienced bird owner that knows what you're getting into.
