Quote: Very cute! How did you teach him to fly to you on command? I would love to try that with sonny and eventually mojo if he becomes nice.

Your right. I would rather be sonny but I treat them equal and approach as equals. Only difference is sonny gets to be taken out of his cage. I am willing to do what ever it take to make mojo friendly. I would love for him to be like sonny. I love all my birds and would love for them to be...

Butters looks very nice! Mojo (green cheek) will make noises sometimes but it is more of a crakely scream noise and will click sometimes. I do mimick him and once in awhile he will answer back but mostly he mimicks Sonny (sun conure). I will try taking him into a dark room and getting him out...

Quote: My green cheek wont even let us get him out so he will never make it to my shoulder lol. My sun conure is the only one allowed on my shoulder. His prevous owners did that with him all the time so thats all he wants. We have since broke him of that and he is only allowed on our...

Quote: I want a "LIKE" button for this post! Thanks for sharing your experience. Agreed ^^^ There is no worrying about this guys forever home. He has one with our family. If my uncle cant handle him he will come right back to me and I wont let him go anywhere else. ReikiStar- That sounds...

At least you can hold him. My green cheeck it doesnt even have to be your hand lol. He got out of his cage and ran to my feet and bit down. Its like hes attracted to skin no matter where he is he has to bite it. I dont know what his problem is but no one can work with him and he will open up to...

Quote: Thank you for the book tip I will deffinitly be looking into that. Also I have tried the whole not reacting thing with my conure. We have 2 a sun conure who does not bite and a green cheeck. The green cheeck is the one i have been talking about with the biting problem. He can be quite...

I had made some progress with the green cheek (mojo) he would let me put my hand in the cage without flipping out or trying to bite it and he would take treats threw the wires of the cage. But he took a few steps backwards. I dont know what happened but he is meaner now then he was before. I was...

Quote: It is sad. Parrots aren't like puppies or kittens. You can't just bring 'em home and expect them to fall all over with you with love & affection. Because they ARE so intelligent, they need time to build up trust and come to appreciate being part of your flock. And a week is no...

She has chose to sell him because of him needing so much attention. Im am taking care of him now till he gets a new home. Anyone in Flordia want to buy a green cheek conure?

She has had him for maybe a week. She bought him on impulse without even looking around at other maybe already friendly birds. This isent the first time she has pulled a stunt like this and the regreted it or wanted someone else to deal with it for her. But when it comes to animals im always the...

I told her about BYC because i am always posting in the duck section and saw about the caged bird section but she said she didnt want to sign up becuause she only had this one question and asked me to post it for her but as it turns out im the one putting all the info to use lol. Every night...

Quote: I think that is pretty normal! His cage is 'safe' and it sounds like it's all he's ever known. I think time is the key with him. Parrots are social and intelligent critters, but highly individualistic; he may always be standoffish, or he may turn into a snuggly thing! It's really hard...

Yes i read over it and found it very helpful. He likes yogurt drops the best it seems and he will take treats threw the cage from us when we put them there and is not afraid of our hands gloved or not al long as he is in his cage. he will usually stick his beak out and want us to rub it and he...

Quote: Thats cute She has asked me to help train him so i went back over there last night with my motorcycle gloves (thick leather) and i tried again to get him out because jenny is now afraid to even go near the cage. as soon as i put my hand in he bit at it but i finally got him out and he...

I just fowarded her this post and thank you for all the ideas. she said she needs all the help she can get and i can see why. I went over last night to meet the new bird and it got me pretty good. Drew blood and took a chunk of skin with it. It gets really mad when you try to take him out of...

Friend Just bought a green check conure today knowing that it bites. I told her about this site but she only has this one question so i told her i would ask. The people at the pet store told her it was hand raised and that it use to be extreamly friendly until it was put in with older birds and...
