How do you hand tame a green cheek?

He’s scared of me and my hand. I just got him yesterday and I don’t want to stress him out I’ve been starting slowly by holding out a millet branch so he can eat off it he does sometimes but anytime I move slightly he gets scared and runs away any tips?

My green cheek feeds his rubber duck

So, he got this rubber duck as a toy, and now I see him cuddling and feeding it. Is this normal? Maybe I should get him a girl? What do you guys think?

Help needed

Hello everyone one, I have been having a problem with my green cheek conure recently. Normally she is very handable and was okay with being picked up. But now( about a month ago) she started flying away from me when ever I try to pick her up. She will fly to me on occasion, and will let me give her scratches, but if I try to pick her up she flies away like she is being chased. She's about 1 year and 5 months old now. Any advice will help please and thank you!

My bird keeps trying to burrow

Does anyone else’s GCC do this? During the past couple of weeks my gcc has been trying to go under anything he can such as blankets, shirts, pillows, towels, etc. I figured that he always does this because he’s just a goofy bird, but I’m starting to wonder if this is some sort of nesting behavior?

Help! Bonding tips for my new green cheek

Hello. So, I just got my green cheek on 7/6/24. Any tips on how I can begin building trust with him. He is scared of me since I had to grab him to transfer him to his new bigger cage. Every time I go to refill his food and water bowl he climbs the cage and goes to a corner. I talk to him daily. I have not tried to grab him since. I have never cared for a conure. I have 2 canaries that are let out of their cages most of the day, I have noticed he likes to watch them and starts "screaming" and climbing his cage. Also, how would I go about having him eat more veggies. The store I got him from only fed him sunflower seeds and some small white seeds. He likes apples, but I read that too much fruit is bad for him, since it has sugar. I would really appreciate any tips.

GCC Won't sleep in cage?

tried different locations, ensuring no drafts, persuade with all kinds of treats. They just won't even go to their cage to sleep? They insist on hanging on/around my budgie cage, who they get along well with. Does he/she simply just need a separate cage to sleep in? Do they just prefer to be close to them?

GCC keeps attacking Cockatiel. Help!

My gcc is around 7 years old and we just started having this problem recently. She gets violent with our cockatiel and chases her around trying to bite her. They haven’t had any problems before this and were bonded. What is happening and how can we fix it??

don’t you love it when your gcc hops on you first thing in the morning, you think he’s saying hi, poops on you and then lunges at you hair when you’re moving your hair and bites you😭

he gets very hormonal during breeding season.

Should I let my bird outside of her cage?

Advice please!

So, I've had Myla, (the GCC aka chicken), for about 2 months now. She happily takes treats from my hands inside her cage. For awhile now, I have been trying to train her how to "step up". Myla is afraid of both my hands being inside her cage. So, do I let her explore outside of her cage? Once she is used to being outside her cage and is comfortable with her environment, can I then train her how to "step up"?

step up advice

so I just taught my one year old conure how to step up, and they do it pretty confidently now and are okay with sitting on my finger, but once I try to slowly move my hand with them on it they freak out and step off.. has anyone else dealt with this, and did you get past it? I feel stuck
