So my Ziggy is about maybe 5 or 6 months old and I've believe she is going through her first molt. I've been noticing that some of her feathers have started to grow a dark green/brown outline, is this normal? I've also seen that it can happen from handling, which i do alot since she seems to like being held.

Perchville 🤣😍🦜

it’s supposed to be impossible to tell the sex of a GCC by sight alone. But I’m pretty sure I can tell! The female’s head looks a little different than the male’s to me. I want to see if I’m right or not! So drop some pictures of your birbs and let me guess their sex please :) if you know the sex, let me know if I got it right, but if you don’t know, that’s ok too — I’ll tell you what I think!

If I can see one pic where the head feathers are fluffed up (viewed from the side) and another where they are flat, that is when my guesses will be most accurate. Videos are even better! idk what is allowed in the comments, but if just one pic is allowed, please make it a fluffed up head pic. Thanks all! This is just for fun :)

Is it possible to tell about how old these 2 are based off this video? I’m heavily considering adopting them but the store has no idea how old they are. They have been there since august

EDIT:

I called the store to see if they would give me a deal on the pair (because I’d rather not pay full price to chain store and support them, I’d honestly not like to support them at all but I’m falling in love with these 2) but they are required to be in the store for 4 months before they can give a discount. They will be able to in December. I’m ordering a cage and supplies today then going to wait until December and hope they are still there.

However there is someone from this group who I’m talking to that is willing to help buy them so depending on if they actually do help or not I might be able to get them sooner.

I’m definitely stuck between heart and mind tho on do i go with my heart and get them or go with my mind and not support a chain store. They have already been there 2 months

I’ve been doing research for over a year on these guys I know everything I need to know I’m just waiting for the right time to get one but my god the guy on the right is making the wait hard 😭. I just got back on disability so I don’t have enough money saved up for him just yet

Turned Piccolo into a keyblade wielding birb now he’s ready to take on darkness 😏

I want to get a security camera for my bird when I’m not home. I get anxious when I’m not home, and wanna make sure he’s doing okay. Does anyone have any advice on which ones to get?

I just recently got a pineapple green cheek conure and the place where I got him took very good care of their birds but did not socialize them like they did with cockatiels, and their macaws etc. im 16 and do online school so I have all the time and patience to tame this bird he’s already taking treats ( millet ) from my hands but is very nervous which makes sense big changes and moving + new environment but could anyone give me tips that worked for them to tame ? He’s about 5 months old!

i'm going to make perches with my granddad, so thats off the list.

i also have metal feeder bowls and have cleaned them.

the cage came with a playground on top with a hook for hanging toys up there. ill likely link it down in the comments so yall can see the details. :3
