Is A Green Cheek Conure The Right Beginner Parrot For You?

Hey Birbsquad! In today's video I'm going to discuss if a green cheek conure parakeet is the right beginner parrot for different types of lifestyles. Whether a green cheek conure is the right bird for you is not always a black or white answer. What would be a great beginner parrot for some may be a horrible beginner parrot for others. This is why in this video, I talk more so about the different lifestyles people have and see if a green cheek conure would be suitable for that specific way of living. I wanted to do this in hopes to give some of those a little direction when they are trying to decide if a green cheek conure would be a good beginner parrot for them.
If there is a certain lifestyle that I didn't cover in this video, please let me know in the comments and I'll try my best to help out and give some options :) Green cheek conures can be the absolute best beginner parrot for you but..... gotta make sure they fit your lifestyle! Play a little matchmaking if you know what I mean ;)

Felix screams when he sees me walking home from school, when he sees himself in the mirror, when he hears running water, when he's scared by the color yellow or a large bird flying by the window (that's a louder scream), when he knows I'm in the house and I'm leaving him in his cage, when I leave him alone in a room or alone with people he doesn't trust, and he screams to wake me up in the morning on weekends. I think that's it. It sounds like a lot, but as long as he's with me or can see me you wouldn't even know there's a bird in the house. Honestly I think its adorable when he screams at me while I'm walking home from school or if I leave him alone. It's really nice to know he misses me. The only screaming I really consider annoying is the alarm clock screaming in the morning.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Felix wants to be heard! Haha. I agree with you that in a weird way... It's kind of nice that the scream because they miss you. My Quaker does that with me. Thank you for sharing your experience with Felix!! He sounds like a vocal yet lovely bird 😉😅☺️

[@Printedperformance]

We have had our green cheek for about 3 months, she absolutely has the biggest attitude out of all my animals but she’s also the most affectionate. She eats breakfast with me and “helps” me do the dishes, aka plays in the water when it’s running. Absolute favorite pet, hands down.

[@N.Flyddd06622]

I just started researching Green Cheek Conures because I went to a pet store for a gecko and this bird absolutely stole my heart. The lady was talking about how closed off and scared he is, and when I walked by he started trying to play with me. He was running back and forth turning his head upside down, trying to grab at my hand through the glass, trying to give me his treats. The lady was astonished she said never in her career has she ever seen a bird at that store seemingly pick a human. I want him very much, and while guilt is eating me because I left him there, I feel like I also need to make sure I can give him a proper life if I do take him. Since I’ve never had more than parakeets. I am a stay at home wife so I have lots of time to give him, but my husband is super afraid of birds because he grandmothers parrot attacked him twice when he was young. So one thing I wanted to ask is how often it is that they are naughty and bite people extremely aggressively. Because if it turns out he’s a good fit for me, I want to make sure it’s a good fit for my husband to learn to trust birds as well

[@Reflecterr]

Conure's bites can hurt, but they heal pretty fast. Unless you really annoy them, i dont think they will bite. I have 2 btw. Hope this answered your question! Btw, did you get him yet?

[@bbdiamond145]

I just have to know...did you go back and get him?

[@Frosst]

Can you do a follow up if you got the bird or not? My family recently got one gifted. The other owners didn’t want him anymore but they’re pretty cool birds. I only get bit when he gets ticked off or he feels threatened. For example, if he’s hanging out on my sisters shoulder and I try to pick him up he’ll nip at me. I just take it as a “I’m hanging out with her, back off” because when she walks off and I’m alone with him he’ll happily climb on my shoulder and move around on my arms. I feel like birds are a little more tricky with their temperament so I just try to notice what he likes and what he doesn’t like.

[@joanm.g.h.4439]

I also wanna know if you got him!

im getting a green cheek conure this friday! cage is coming along, toys too and im so excited. i wasn't planning on a conure at first, but when i was looking at her through her cage i awed, i awed even more though when i started walking away abit, distracted and she just got up to where she could climb and walk, and tried following me through her cage 😭. i was just dying with love at this point, wanting to hold her, i even sang her a song, baby mine, when she was on my chest, she just stared up at me with a sweet look before turning her head around, like "huh, i like this lil tune" . i just knew i had to get her, the mess is gonna be worth the while, and interactions i wont hesitate with as i never have anything to do at home, and feeding, and holding her. im excited. i already planned a name for her too, Nala 🥰

[@judithweymark8643]

Hi Victoria! You've nailed the pros and cons of owning a green cheek! A little floofy pain in the butt you wouldn't want to be without. Full of zip and confidence and enthusiasm for life, ready to come out of his cage each morning and take on the day 100%. Loud, messy, clingy, destructive, feisty and utterly fearless. And they make you laugh many times a day. What they do not deserve, is to be left alone for many hours each day, waiting for their special person to come give them the love they crave. If you don't have a good chunk of time to devote to a bird every day, you'll just end up feeling guilty and miserable for not doing the right thing by them. The best starter bird for a busy student or worker is a KITTEN.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Thanks Judith! You are exactly right on that! They do want to be with us all the time and it's not fair to keep them in their cage all day. You are always so helpful and encouraging thank you!! Hope you and your daughter are doing well.

[@warvetbill3450]

I put a deposit down on a hand-fed green cheek for my daughter (13) after doing the research, and being a life-long bird owner. I really loved your video, so straight-forward and informative. I think this bird will be perfect for her and for us. Thank you for your awesome video. We look forward to seeing more! Merry Christmas!

I absolutely adore him and I watched a few of your videos before I got him! Thank you for this! I definitely learned a lot.

He also sometimes dances and bobs his head to music, at the moment he really likes dancing to bad bunny. Thank you for asking !!

@@karimagha9462 100% green conure, sun conures are much louder from what I’ve heard online. However, they can still sometimes be loud, really depends because, for example, my green cheek sometimes is a bit loud right when me and my family are leaving since we got him during the pandemic so he’s a bit attached. But they aren’t as loud as sun conures so I definitely recommend them :)

What she said about certain triggers that make your bird act loud is totally true. My GCC only screams when he wants out of the cage, wants to jump to someone else's shoulder, or if its like 2 hours past his bedtime and I've somehow forgotten and kept him awake. In the last case, if we are home, he'll usually just fly into the floor (the pet store clipped his wings and I'm waiting for them to grow back) and walk himself to his cage as his way of telling me to hurry up and put him to sleep.

She isn’t very noisy and hardly ever makes noise but if I get home and I don’t come get her right away she will let me know she wants out lol. She is very messy and flings her food everywhere and bathes in her water bowel and also washes her beak in it so it ends up full of food. She is my messiest bird but also my quietest. I have a parrotlet and cockatiel and both make more noise than her but are much cleaner. My cockatiel loves to whistle tunes but in between tunes he makes contact calls and makes loud alarm sounds when he’s hormonal. I love birds, they are all so different and full of personality. I never regretting bringing any of them home.

Our pineapple green cheek is currently preening my facial hair. We've had him for around a month, he's a year old, and, despite being from a pet store, is quite a sweetheart. He's getting more comfortable and is kind of starting to play with toys lately. We put him in his cage for bed, main meals, and when we have to leave the house. Otherwise, he is either on his playstand or with one of us so he stays happy and quiet. He does do the call if even one of us leaves the room he's in, even if he's eating. He won't continue eating until the person comes back lol.

Yay!! Youre back! I was getting worried!!

[@VictoriaRyann]

Hey Steve ☺️ yeah I disappeared for a bit sorry about that. I hope you and your son as well as Ollie are doing good. Anything new going on with you guys?

[@stevehall3474]

Victoria Ryann not really. We got our house so Ollie has his own room. Sadly our parakeet passed away suddenly a few weeks back. We took Ollie to the vet just to make sure he was ok because he interacted with him alot. Overall, things are great. Adjusting to the new place. I think Ollie likes his own room though. I can get him on more of a schedule, and its darker and more quiet. Its funny you said in this video if we are not home during the day take him out his cage into a play area. We have been doing that along with getting up a little early to hang with him, then he is with us all night. Works out well.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Oh no Steve I'm sorry to hear that... Did the vet say what the cause may have been as well as if Ollie will be ok? That's what's scary about getting a new bird you never truly know if they are completely healthy or not.

[@stevehall3474]

Yeah Ollie is fine thanks. I wanted to tell you I was watching a video of yours, and he about attacked my phone when he saw Yoshi on the screen.

You said 12 turning 13 is a safe number and that is exactly me. My parents think I’m mature and responsible for my age and whenever I want an animal I do at least a 2 page report about the care and things needed for that animal. I am thinking of getting a bird because birds are some of my favourite animals and I have been trying to find the perfect bird for my family’s lifestyle and I’ve gone through so many but I think green cheek conures are pretty much perfect. They are messy and quite the handful but I think I can take care of it. Conures are the best and I hope at least some day I will be able to get one. This text was long and unnecessary but nobody will read it so it doesn’t matter.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Your comments are NEVER unnecessary and I wish I could put into words how much I truly appreciate them! Seriously the fact you took the time out of your day to type this is so nice. I loved reading this and kudos to your parents for raising you so well. You sound so mature already though being able to recognize the responsibility and making sure the animal fits your lifestyle. You should be proud of yourself. Green cheeks are awesome and I really hope you are able to get one. If you do please keep me updated and let me know the name! I love hearing about the different bird names people choose ☺️ I do want you to know though as my channel grows it's becoming more difficult to answer each comment but I'll try and don't mean to ignore you. I hope you know you are very much appreciated!! Thank you again for taking the time to leave me a comment and telling me about your plans with a bird. You're awesome.

[@agent9922]

Thank you for responding and this comment just made my day. I know you can’t talk to everyone and I’m happy you were able to respond to mine. I wish you the best with your channel and hope more people see your amazing videos and learn lots like I have.

[@Parabueto]

This is a really helpful video! I have a friend who has a green cheek and I wanted to look into their care a bit to see what's involved. I have my "first" bird at the moment but she's a European Kestrel so the demmands are a lot different (but I can go fly her in the summer so that's pretty cool).

[@klara7121]

My green cheek is quite, sociable and affectionate but messy! I still prefer it over my quaker... quakers are more territorial and possessive

[@donnacarr3782]

I swear my green cheek recognizes your voice, wow! I wish you would have heard him! Funny! He still bites though!

[@Pancakes4Tohka]

Should I get one? I have a zero period so I’d be able to get up super early for a green cheek. I get home around three, and (with my old bird) I had him sit with me as I worked, and played with him with my other hand. Sadly, he only lived for 6 months, because the breeder scammed me. (The bird was already super old. My family and I spoke with other customers reporting the same problem.)

[@littleleague992]

I really think if a person has a regular 8 to 5 job, they need to ask themselves if a bird, period is right for them. That means a bird will be in his cage all those hours. I think most people don't have the time to commit to a bird. They really require a lot of quality time.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Thank you sooooo much for your input! You made some good points

[@RyosukeTakahashiRX7]

Yeah, no. I got a parrot room and work 8h a day. They can fly freely around the whole day and enjoy their time together when I'm not there. It definitely works, just get two.

[@MyJAG12345]

This made me laugh! I am turning 50 in a few days but my daughter is very involved in my birds life and she knows they are hers when I go!😂 Frankie gets so excited to see her when she comes to visit. I think people thinking about getting a bird for a child needs to realize that they are still basically wild animals and aren't the typical pet. If you would trust your child to take care of a toddler then they may be ready for a bird?? That is just my two cents. My daughter loves reptiles and she is very committed to giving them what they need but isn't ready to be tied down with a bird but she knows she wants birds eventually so we had a big discussion before I committed to mine because there is a huge chance she will take over mine one day!! Great video Victoria!😘

[@christinemaney2294]

You’re hilarious and super informative. To say I,m an animal person is kind of an understatement. I’ve raised my kids with animals all around us. Horses and goats, dogs and cats, snakes, axlotles, lizards, and turtles turtles everywhere; species from around the globe. Kids are grown and my son is actually a reptile zookeeper now 😊. Anyhow, as I’m now on my own, it’s been just me and my precious little blind dude Buster (Busta Rhymes technically lol), my dog, and my sweet little girl Pepper, my cat. Recently however I’ve survived (barely) my home destroyed by fire. It’s hard to even type this but I lost them both. As I recover, the idea of getting another dog or cat is too much. I’m not ready. I have been however really been considering a bird. My son recommended a Conure but of course birds are not his expertise. I am a private gardener and work mostly from home in my workshop and my greenhouse…working away from the house maybe 10-12 hrs at most. Working with animals has always come very natural to me as I seem to have the “training” gene lol. Thought I might give a try with a Conure…any thoughts?

My conure is by far the most demanding of my attention of all my birds. You also need to set up foraging etc in the morning if you're away, need to stay busy! Or.... Get two birds! 2 is always better than 1.

On the topic of “beginner birds”, there really is no such thing.

It’s all about lifestyle, resources and research in my opinion!❤
