Hey everyone,
Me and my gf just bought a green cheek conure yesterday..He is very friendly and very active already..When he is in his cage he will move to where someone is while they walk by and if they put their finger through the bars he will move his head to your finger in a way of asking to be pet..He has done this to me,my gf,and my sister..This is our first bird but my gf said she had a bird when she was a lot younger..I am more of a reptile guy but I love all animals..He has cuddled with my gf and when he's outside his cage he will even run toward me and jump on my shoulder if I'm sitting down..He nibbles quite a bit but doesn't bite..He is 4 months old soo the nibbling kind of comes with the age I was told..We have both done quite a bit of research but there are still some questions..The questions I have is what does it mean when he puffs himself up??With reptiles it means a bad thing most the time but this guy seems to be happy when he is doing it..Also,I was wondering what it means when he flutters his feathers??What kind of supplements should we give him??What are some basics on training??We have a dog so we know to move to another room to train but I was wondering what kinda things are the most basic to start trying to get him to pick up on..This forum seems really inactive,but hopefully I will hear from someone soon..
Thanks alot
