How should I get my Conure used to new toys

When I try to get new toys for her, she becomes deathly afraid from them, and stays as far away as she can from the toy. How should I help her combat her fears so I can help give her new things to play with?

Serious issue currently

My green cheek hates my girlfriend…. She will fly to her, be nice, then when my gf tries to give her scritches she will bite the absolute hell out of her.. it’s getting to the point where I almost can’t have her out because she will fly to my gf and bite her hands. My girlfriend has never harmed her. Gives her treats all the time, Daisy even let’s her search her head through the bars sometimes but she just doesn’t like her when she’s outside of the cage

Need recommendations for perches and toys ($100-150 limit)

Hello! I recently acquired my cage to house my new birdie. They are already on reserve. All they are waiting for is for me to set up their cage but I need some help. I have no idea where to look and what to get. I would love to hear y’all’s recommendations and any overall tips for the first few weeks at the house. The cage is attached above. Thank you!

I did my nails, and now my conure is scared of hands.

They had a cool color changing hue to them which I think added to the fear.

I even removed them, realizing it scared them. Sucked because I really felt pretty with them and loved them but my birds are more important.

Now even after removing them, they want absolutely nothing to do with me and it's been a week. So frustrating, but I know I gotta go back to the basics. Re build trust. I'm trying to stay patient and not disheartened, but it sucks.

What are some good toys for a chewy gcc?

My little guy absolutely loves to chew and shred things. He has plenty of toys in his cage and toys I bring out for him, but they’re not anything particularly chewy that he can shred or pull at. The only thing he has in there that is similar is a rope perch, which he’s tried ripping apart, I’m just unsure if this is the safest for him.

He also has been pulling at the little string things that tie his bird bed to the cage, but again it’s not really a toy. He has a cuttle bone and a calcium block in his cage as well. He’s started trying to shred his wooden perches too. I know he’s going to shred whatever he wants, but I was hoping to find him some toys specifically for that to help him out and keep him safer.

Does anyone here have any good and safe toy recommendations for this?

Remember that one time you read concures were a quiet bird

Yeah, it was a filthy lie

Love how she waited for the yum yumms before eating

So I bought some meal worms for the wild birds. After a quick look online I could see mango could have one now and then as a treat. I can’t even pick one up they are so gross 😆

my 4 week old baby conure doesn’t bob his head while eating anymore? should i be concerned?

ive been hand-feeding this baby conure for the past 3 days, and today he stopped bobbing his head while taking his food and has been more reluctant to eat. i already have a vet appointment scheduled, but i was wondering what i should do in the meantime.

My GCC has had diarrhea all day. He’s still playing with his toys, flying around and eating. Is this something I should bring to the vet right away or wait it out a couple days?

What do we think of Zupreem Fruit Blend?

This is what the new baby was weaned on to, mixed with a seed blend. I am used to feeding Harrisons, and I'm not crazy about the bright colors (makes it harder to keep an eye on her poops when they're technicolored) but I'd rather not fight with the baby when she's already eating pellets if they're a quality option. Adding a baby pic for attention.
