I got bit for taking this picture
I was looking at posts in r/conures about birds sleeping in hands and decided to take a picture of mine doing just that. Like always, he intuitively knew what I was doing and looked up. I took the picture and he turned around and bit me. Not sure if I disturbed him or if he felt his soul being pulled into the camera.

Help, I'm at my wits end and need advice or to calm down.
Hello everyone, I apologize as I'm writhing with pure rage as I'm typing in here but I need advice or help with understanding these birds. My girlfriend has a green cheek conure for about two years now. He is only really friendly with her (but will still randomly bite her). He is aggressive with other men that visit the house and is semi tolerant with me but it's like a coin toss. He will be friendly and chill and sit on my hand or shoulder or he will just randomly chomp down hard. I've never encountered a bird this unpredictable and violent. Is this a result of just inbreeding/this bird having mental problems? Is this normal behavior for green cheeks? Like I gave him some seeds that he took from my hand and was doing happy little chirps and then hopped onto my arm and then was chilling for a few minutes on my shoulder as I was walking around the kitchen and doing dishes when he suddenly chomped down really hard on the middle of my ear with eye watering pain and hearing the cartilage in my ear crack I reacted instinctively and swatted him off. Grabbed gloves (because he's like a toddler that throws tantrums when you want him to go in his cage and bites when he doesn't want to go in there) and as he was attacking the glove I put him in his cage and threw the blanket over him cause I don't want to look at him right now. Is there a slow process that you can teach the bird to bot be an asshole and to be gentile and to teach it to not do things like that? I'm feeling like I'm approaching wits end cause I've never encountered a bird like this and sorry if this is sounding a little passive aggressive as this just happened moments ago and I'm bleeding from my ear. Thanks and any advice is greatly appreciated

There is always hope
Kazys is excited by the phone I am holding up to film him. For the past year his chest, back, and sides were nothing but gray down feathers. So you might think at first glance he looks rough, but what I see is tons of progress. In the past two months I have seen only two colored feathers on the floor, which I think were mistakes; him preening the sheaths a little too hard. About six months ago, the colored feathers wouldn’t last more than a few days at most before he had plucked them out. I’m pretty sure I know what caused him to pluck in the first place, and since it had to do with mistakes I made with him I’m confident I have him on the right track.

Eating spider web?
so I was flight training my green cheek conure (glep) in my dining room, like usual. I threw her up like normal, but she flew to the windowsill And got kind of stuck in a spider web. The weird part of this story is when I tried to get her out of the spider web, she bit me really hard and held on as tight as she could to the ledge of the window with her strong little conure feet. There was literally nothing I could do while I watched her devour an entire spider web filled with ants. She's fairly new to us, as we only got her about a month ago, and I'm still finding out a bunch of weird quirks about her. this is definitely the weirdest thing I've seen any of my birds do ever. And my cockatiel literally used to eat every single bug he saw. I'm not talking like she ate like to get it off of her, she's straight up devoured the entire thing in front of my eyes for like a whole minute and a half. I was so grossed out that I had to walk away for a second. I got a video of the endeavor that I sent to my boyfriend, and I was honestly just wondering if anyone else's green cheeks does anything remotely similar to this. She genuinely seemed so excited when she saw the spider web, but I mistakingly took it for her being scared because she's usually rather skittish about everything. And then she just.... wouldn't stop eating... I know conures are weird but God she's a little too weird for me

my gcc is scared of EVERYTHING
I have had my GCC for literally 8 years (she will be 8 in september.) and she didn't really come from a great place. i adopted her when she was 6 months from a flea market, so i doubt she got lots of care and love then. however, here we are 8 years later and she is still horrified of everything. i am the person she trusts the most and i don't think she even likes me much lol.
she's scared of toys, some foods, loud noises, and even smaller sounds (like clicking my computer mouse abnormally loud causes her to jump.)
i really don't know what she needs. can birds have autism or anxiety? no other GCCs are like her from what i've read.

How to tame non hand raised conures
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!

Question: why does my little green cheek always feel like he’s vibrating/shaking? Is something wrong? Am I doing something wrong or is he happy?

Back at it wondering if my bird is ok(its about his poop just a warning)
he pooped white with a little bit of red in the center. I'm not sure if it's normal or not(it's not his normal). The internet has given me so many different reasons, so I'm not sure if he's going to die or if it's normal.
