We Picked up a Green Cheek Conure!!! (Meet Olivia)

[@gloria-io7xc]

Omg....what a beautiful baby girl. Olivia's mom must be devastated having to have to give her up. It's obvious she spent sooo much time with Oliva and gave her sooo much love. My heart goes out to her and I pray her situation changes for the best!

[@carolhartley4448]

Yes, it's heartbreaking for the bird and the previous owner , so sad for both of them, but Olivia the gcc is in the best possible, she already responds very well with Capri and Jamie, sad but so fortunate that birdtricks family and flock took Olivia in as a part of there family, you can tell that the previous owner really did a fantastic job with much love for Olivia!👍♥️

[@victoriakarpinski3959]

I am so glad Olivia is so happy and comfortable. She is a precious little girl. I miss her so very much and my heart still aches for her.

[@naturelover6111]

Sending you huge hugs. ❤

[@victoriakarpinski3959]

Thank you so much. It’s a difficult spot to be in. Glad she is with the best people ever.

[@byzantineladybug9471]

Even I, who know nothing about birds, can see how much you love Olivia and how well you cared for her! I’m sorry your life circumstances led to this very difficult decision and I hope you are well and safe! ❤🥰

[@nikkihoffman2891]

What an amazing and loving life you gave Olivia before you had to rehome her. We could tell by the suitcase filled with proper feed, toys and treats. Sometimes, life makes hard decisions for us. But Olivia went to the best bird home ever!

[@BillyNoMates1974]

BirdTricks, your daughter is an absolute natural with bird handling. well done. I am impressed.

[@GingerNinja1]

I second that!

[@BirdTricks]

Thank you! ❤

[@BillyNoMates1974]

@@BirdTricks I also have to thank you for convincing me to rehome a CAG. ive had him over 10 years now. your early video's helped me make up my mind. so thank you for all of your videos.

[@linsees]

I found a Green Cheek Conure sitting outside with the sparrows in early July. After months of searching for the original owner, I ended up being his forever home. 🤣 💖He's a great bird and such a wonderful companion. (Only downside is, he is friendly and lovable to everyone, even strangers, except for my parents. Fly attacks and bites them. I'm still trying to learn and figure that situation out.) It's funny because I actually watched your videos prior to finding him, I was always interested in birds, but never thought I would have one. Your videos have helped me a lot, and it's so nice to see this little Green Cheek today. 💖

[@Ansonidak]

Found pets are the best. I found two abandoned budgies 6 years ago and they changed my life.

[@brig1327]

That’s an awesome experience ❤️

[@linsees]

@@Ansonidak He is a great little guy! It's just weird because I just wonder where he came from. Who his family was. If he misses home. His age, etc. And it's crazy that I'll never know!

[@linsees]

@@brig1327 It's crazy to find a Green Cheek Conure outside just hanging around with the sparrows thinking he's one of them!

[@Ansonidak]

@@linsees Great good fortune he was found before some predator got him. Now he's safe and loved. The downside is his former owner was probably grief stricken.

[@sabrinareddington5801]

Contours are so loveable and cuddly!!!!!😊 I'm so happy for you😊

[@j.rleonard8269]

Outstanding... Got my little boy JuJu and man is he a trip. He's my mini shadow and I am his,we do it all together and he is never in his cage or on it. Only to go to bed for the night and I sleep right beside him. He wakes me up every morning between5-6am. I couldn't see living my life with out him. He was born Feb 22 and my B-Day is feb 3. Pretty amazing if you ask me, he's my little man for sure dads boy. Love yours up and treat him great, he will be your best friend no doubts. They are small but have the biggest heart. They will get food aggressive but you can tame that with time, love and patience. I did and we eat are meals together as well. Lol man what outstanding animals with huge feelings. Love your GCC up and teach him/her, while they teaches you. Blessed be my friends, enjoy your new loved one. They will love you even more back.

[@greenbrownblue]

Oh nice to see a GCC :>>> ! I feel like out of all species they are the easiest to own and they have absolutely amazing personalities.

[@oceanelf2512]

The first sound Olivia made is exactly like the bark of a sugar glider. Cute. All that munching is also super cute.

[@rachyface618]

You are without a doubt the best trainer out there, but even more so an incredible mother! Capri seems like the most caring and helpful assistant you could possibly have. My daughter and I always enjoy learning from your channel and I know our parrots appreciate you as well 💜

[@andystoner2702]

I have 2 GCC and love them so much!!! I was told GCC are not really talkers and I was fone with that. Well...one started saying peek a boo. Not long after, she says all kinds of stuff, almost everything I do. Next thing ya know, she had taught the other one and now they both talk up a storm. They ask to take a bath. say I love you, ask what you are doing...so much! Soooo much fun!! Also, excellent flyers! Dipping and dodging, cutting corners. the super strong headed female that started talking first, acts alot like batman, diving off high cage and dropping, when close to floor will swoop up and fly...coolest thing! I could go on and on...love these precious birds!!! so full of life and so smart!!!

[@andystoner2702]

One other thing, they call each other by their name...and have conversations, even talking to my IRN and hollering at him by name. it's so sweet! The IRN is scared of everything and breaks my heart because I try so hard to engage. Had him well over a year and I cant even get him out of the cage much. I hate keeping a bird caged but trying to get him put back up when I have to leave...is soooo hard on him and i fear him getting hurt or having a heart attack...

[@yamunadevi68]

Little Olivia came from a very loving home by the looks of it. Congratulations on your new bird

[@TheLastSecretGarden]

It made me cry to see how many amazing toys and things that Olivia had with her - including her name embroidered on her backpack. Clearly this bird was extremely loved and given the best possible care. I am so sorry that Victoria and Olivia had to be separated - I wish they could be together. It makes me think how things could change for me one day and I wouldn't be able to stay with my beloved budgies and cockatiel. All I can do is hope that this never happens. Victoria must be a strong person to let her beloved Olivia go. Take care of her, Capris!

[@BirdNerdSophie]

@@xxpreppyxx8549 ah thank you so much for watching my videos 💙😊

[@claiyageil]

I watch your channel and The Parrot Teacher. The reason why I started watching you guys is because a lot of what you guys do, aligns with what BirdTricks has taught me. I'm still using the substrate for my birds and it's still going absolutely fantastic! They are always using their whole cage everyday! I really wish there were more bird cage designs that it's optional to take out the bottom grate and it doesn't leave gaps.

[@peepsicle]

Green cheek conures seem so sweet. I love this interaction with her and Capri. I love how Capri wants to keep all of the little birds ❤

[@oliviarae7927]

So precious how Olivia came out immediately when you were opening the pellet bag, she's really pretty. Olivia seems to be really friendly and calm which is really awesome. Your daughter does an awesome job she's going to be a pro with birds in the future just like you and your husband.

[@Pirate_Parrots]

They are the most adorable and affectionate little birdies! I had my little green cheek bundle of love for a long time before we got our macaws. I was told that Green Cheeks are macaws in tiny bodies so that was the inspiration to get a macaw when my little green cheek passed on. They are the best! Your daughter is so lucky to have this little gift of joy :)

[@Xen-s_dreamagination]

Omg, isn’t Olivia the sweetest thing?! 🥰 I would have adopted her right away. She is SO adorable! What a sweetheart 💕 I love how good Capri is with her. When Olivia hopped down on the seat and Capri immediately withdrew her hands when she noticed that she was about to just grab Olivia, but then made space for Olivia instead so she could find her way back to Capri on her own. That was a beautiful interaction. 🤗

[@houseofstone3560]

It’s really cool to see you coaching your daughter with the bird.

Totally agree about Olivia's Mom - what a little cutie.....and the bird !!! :D We have 2 pineapples and a turquoise who all will do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING for a pine nut. We keep them in a nice noisy plastic container - we can retrieve them from anywhere in the house with a quick shake lol. We have yet to find the limit to how many they will eat in one session - so please do not overdo it.

[@ArmyStay0T70T8]

Adorable. Well you know she's kid friendly with knowledge handler. Wow. She's quiet. All the conures I've known are loud. Lol. Which is why I've never considered owning one.

[@cathyburnett6182]

It think that is because she is not in her own terriorty. Once they get her some and she is adjusted, she will let her true colors show. That's only my opinion....

[@TaraAndFriends]

@@cathyburnett6182 well, this, the fact she's female, the fact that she's well trained with no bad screaming habits, and the green cheek breed generally being slightly less loud- only slightly less- than other conures. She fools me a bitm i think once she warms up she'll make more noise, but I think she's maybe just a bit more quiet in general.

[@debbycagle4070]

They are both so cute...

I love this! Oddly Olivia has my first born child's birthday. We have a cinnamon green cheek conure but they look so similar! So cute!

[@tamarapace3036]

This makes me want to rethink bird ownership. I'm so tempted to have my husband watch this. I've decided I won't get another one if I can't have double entry (not sure if this is the correct descriptor). He has said to "tell me what you want". I've waited a year and a half since my budgie died. Maybe I will start thinking what life would look like with another bird in the house, instead of only getting my "fix" here with BirdTricks. Olivia, you could not be in better hands AND your mommy did such an amazing job with you AND for you.

[@bkm2797]

So sorry Victoria had to find a new home for Olivia, but she certainly lucked out by you taking this little beauty on. Wondering if Olivia might be an Oliver, was she ever sexed? Green Cheeks can be pretty good talkers, and I noticed how intently she was listening when you were talking. I say this because I had a GC who did the same, he would try to talk (garble) when sleeping, but one morning when I went to get Piper up, he clearly said Good Morning, and before I knew it he was saying it before I took off his night cage cover,lol. Piper learned several phrases and I miss that little guy. Wishing you all the best with your new special friend, looking forward to what's next. Thank you for taking us along.

Stahp! There is a baby one at my work, but her feathers are almost turquoise in color. I interact with her every day (even though I work in the grooming salon and not the store itself) and she LOVES any human interaction. Super friendly. I have to keep myself from getting her, live in an apartment atm so not good to keep a conure. But ugh! Want her so bad.

[@janinerusinovich3040]

She is so cute!!!!! I had one named teddy she died August of last year 😊

[@sabrinareddington5801]

I had a green cheek conure and his name was Valintine. He was so cuddly and loving. He was also very curious. I was washing a load of laundry and somehow Valintine got into the washing machine and dround😢 😭he was my baby! I loved him so much! Please watch him very closely! There like curious little 2 year olds and will mimic everything you do! Good luck with your beautiful new baby he's beautiful!😊

[@GraceT]

I’ve hand fed 9 green cheek conures. None of them were shy. I would bring potential adopters into my bird room, and the conures would fly to them as if they didn’t understand the concept of stranger danger. They love taking baths in their water dish. They love to wrestle, but sometimes will play too rough and will end up biting (they can bite hard!). They love being thrown like a football. They’ve all be able to put up with my group of 10 Quakers, sometimes instilling fear amongst them, because they can dish it out just as much as the Quakers.

[@ikcaruswingz]

[@zunairbirds3984]

Wonderful sharing

[@CeltycSparrow]

Ohh. That's cute. Olivia and I share a birthdate. I've never had someone share my birthday before. She is a very pretty bird. And I would wager a guess, based on your reaction to her suitcase of stuff, that this was a well-loved and well-cared for bird. This wasn't a bird rescued from a neglectful owner. It sounds like her previous owner loved Olivia very much, but she wanted what was best for her bird, even if that meant her not being the owner anymore. That is the mark of a good pet owner. And she seems like a well-behaved bird. She wasn't flying or struggling or trying to bite your daughter when she was being handled by her. She was comfortable enough to eat from your daughter's hand. That's a good sign.
