Hello! I have a 6 month old turquoise green cheek who demands baths every day. However, I noticed that after every bath, he smells sour and continues to smell sour for a few days. Due to this, I started limiting his baths to a few times a week, yet he still gets that sour smell after bathing. Is this something to be worried about?

Very mindful, very demure, very cutesy.

Mine hates when I video him and he gets ready to fight his recorded self when I show him

Introducing Ember, our new sun conure. She was just weaned a few days ago, and we’re excited to welcome her into our house. Wonderful care with the staff at Bird Hut at Cj's Exotic Birds in Portland, Oregon.

DISCLAIMER NOT MY BIRD!! Yes sadly I work for Petsmart. I have a question for everyone: could there be something wrong with this poor baby? He just molted and I’ve found several of them brand new feathers pure black and on the floor of its habitat, they are not plucking and I have seen no signs of it. They are super jittery and their feathers are coming in awkward and discolored. If they adopt this baby out then I would 100% take them but I want to know what I’m looking at paying in vet bills or if he is even savable. Thank you all for your concern and help. I know they need to go to an avian vet but sadly my work will never shell out the money for this.

My conure (hatched 3/14/23) is molting and I think that’s why she’e being such a grumpy grump. I’m just wondering if there’s anything I can do for her. I know it can be quite irritating for them.

This girl absolutely loves trying to chew on the case. Bought a phone-case just for her to chew on - nope, has to be on the phone itself to be of interest.

I don’t have any video unfortunately, because my GCC had stopped displaying this behavior after about 2-3 minutes of him waking up this morning…I’ve had my little guy for well over 6 years and understand his normal behaviors- this was unlike anything I’ve ever seen….

Has anyone ever experienced their conure sneezing multiple times and then do the motion to try and clear their crop? It wasn’t exactly a sneeze and something that was a lot quieter than a sneeze, but it seemed like something may have been affecting his sinuses and bothering him. He had not eaten anything as this happened as soon as bringing him out of his cage.

He’s fine now, eating fine, and seems to be back to his normal self with his little chirps. He’s not displaying any lethargy or having issues with eating. I had brought him in the shower with me for a steam to attempt to clear anything in his sinuses that may have been bothering him. He was very relaxed in the shower-as usual.

Would appreciate any feedback from anyone who’s experienced this before. Thank you.!!!

Sorry for the bluntness, but sometimes when I get home, my GCC is on me like white on rice, which makes us both happy. I sometimes forget he’s there and end up on the toilet with him on my shoulder. I know their respiratory systems are fragile… and if I’ve had dairy that day, I get super nervous and do a courtesy flush for him. Do you guys poop with your birds nearby? I can’t believe I asked this out loud, but I need to know. Guess what I’m doing right now. 😂😂😂

Hello, I recently got some green cheek conures. However, they have not been hand raised and are afraid of everything. I was wondering if anyone knows any tips and tricks to get them to not be scared? Or fly away? I know I have to be patient but I was just wondering if there were anything else I could try!
