I'd nip the nibbling in the bud right now! It will turn into biting, when he nibbles give him a toy to nibble on, not you're fingers or the kids fingers.

The baby I have left here is trying very hard to talk...she does get off her cage and come looking for me. Does'nt do the head bobbing or squaking anymore. I'm sure you'res will stop doing that soon if not already. Keep me posted.

I'd say she is weaning herself and she is old enough...Feel her crop to make sure she has food in it. If she does I would'nt worry about the hand feedings.

I agree put the perches low, he'll gets the hang of it...sometimes it takes them awhile to figure it out. He is kinda young yet.

What ever kind of ducks they are, they're both males. Maybe a cross between a mallard and swedish duck?

Looks like she really settled in with no problems at all...I'm so glad. Spoiled much?!..LOL

I buy my Zupreem in the 40 lb. bags and store it in plastic totes. It stay fresh and worm free! The bag you bought may have been sitting at the store too long. Just like if you have an old bag of flour or nuts it will get those worms. I doubt very much if they are harmful to the birds as they would more than likely eat them in the wild! But I would'nt want mine eating that either, I would return it to the place you got it from.

Mine do the same things...glad it's not my hand they're chewing on!LOL And they scream and yell at them too!

Mine also like to tear up the empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls, I also buy popsicle sticks at the craft store and they love straws!

OMG! I know this is an old post and you probably have the answer to you're ques. I own both and I much prefer the Timneh..they are much more laid abck and not as "snotty" as the Congo, food is the same for both.

I used to raise the GCC they are very sweet birds...however if you DO get one I would'nt allow to interact without close super vision if at all. And the colors are not hybrids just mutations of the GCC. A hybrid would be if you crossed them with another conure... say like a maroon belly, just as if you were to cross a Congo & a Timneh.

I have a 5 yr. old and a 30 yr. old CAG.If I did'nt know them you would not be able to tell which is the youngest! They both are extremely active! And don't shut up or calm down til bed time!

I also got a huge box of samples from "Pretty Bird"

You may also want to offer the cooked beans, rice and pasta. I buy a bag of the dry bean soup mix, cook it throw out the flavor packet! Then I rinse the bean mix really good in cold water and drain add cooked brown rice and cooked whole wheat pasta. I divide it into containers that will feed my birds for 2 days and freeze it. That way I'm only cooking once a month. All my birds love this!

Those are my pets....I have'nt named the breeders, they really could care less...LOL As long as they are feed and clean! Actually Rosie is my Scarlet Macaw, Kiwi is my Quaker and Shadow is my Blue Crown Conure...Cowboy and Dakota are CAG's.
