Yellow sided green cheeked conure baby!

[Amber]

I'm sooooo excited! Friday evening, I'm going to pick up my 12 week old hand reared yellow sided green cheeked conure! I can't wait. I've always wanted a cuddly parrot, and I'm hoping I can handle this bird, as my CAG only really likes my partner. I'm so looking forward to getting my new baby!

Congrats Amber!

I think you will like the conure, I have a sun conure and she can be cuddly and wants to sit on my shoulder and get into everything she can.

 

Be sure to share a pic or two with us.

Congratulations Amber! Do you have a name picked out yet? I bet you must be so excited.

[Amber]

I haven't thought of a name yet. I will post some pics of him/her. I'm terrible, I feel like a child who can't wait for their birthday! I've been counting the days down! I want my new baby now!

Patience Amber, remember patience is a virtue and the wait will be worth it, but it can seem like forever if you are waiting on something like this. :blink: :lol:

[Amber]

I know, it's awful! There are 2 babies left to choose from. Yellow sided conures can't be visibly sexed can they? Are there any tips on how to get a boy?! :blink:

I have a Green cheeked Conure your gonna just love him or her they are the sweetest birds and are so funny if you get one anything like mine he will be trying to say everything you say My Sprout was saying step up whn he came home from the breeders and he'was only 10 or 11 weeks old Sprout is every bodys favorite bird because he doesn't care who it is he'll go to them as long as they want to play he just love to play any time any where. I know just how you feel I felt the same way when I was waiting for my new Indian ringneck a couple weeks ago he's 14 weeks old and what a great bird he is.

Gosh Pat after that testamonial to green cheeked conures I may just have to have one:whistle: :dry: :blink:

[Amber]

Thank you for sharing your experience with your green cheek! I like Indian ring necks too, but they're a tad noisy!

[Tycos_mom]

Actually I find my ring neck to be very quiet the only time he makes any noise is in the morning for about 5 minutes. but then again he's still very young that may change as he gets older they definatly are sweet but those little Green cheek conure are just little clowns and such active little guys yours will definatly keep you laughing

[Amber]

You may just be extremely lucky then and have a quiet ringneck! I can't wait 'til tomorrow! Everything's set up ready and waiting for him/her now. I saw some yellow sideds in a pet shop I went in today, they are just so sweet and come straight over for a stroke! I want my baby now!

[lovemyGreys]

Good luck tomorrow Amber with your new baby, hope all goes well

[Amber]

Thank you!

[Amber]

Well here is my new baby! He's absolutely gogeous and follows me about everywhere! He's so riendly and sweet, although sometimes he nibbles a little too hard! How is the best way to stop this? I don't want to scare him.

[Amber]

Well it wouldn't let me upload my pic, so I'll put a pic of him on my profile page!

[Tycos_mom]

The best way to stop the biting is a five minute time out say no bite imediatly put him in his cage and walk away he will soon learn that if doesn't bite he gets to be with you and if he does its the cage for awhile.

[Amber]

Thanks, he's been a lot better today. If he nips, I say 'no' firmly and frown, the second he stops, I say good boy, and act like nothing's happened. It seems to be working! I don't like to put him in his cage for punishment, as I want him to like his cage and not associate it with bad things.<br><br>Post edited by: Amber, at: 2008/08/13 00:58
