Violet baby (12 days later)
The last post had a photo from 12 days ago.
Look at how much s/he has grown !
The lighting doesn’t do the colours justice. S/he is even more blue than the mother.
Any ideas for a name?

Would a proven pair adopt chicks?
I have two hand-fed green cheek conures that I’ve had for over 5 years. They’ve had several clutches of chicks over the years but still somehow behave as pets with me so it’s easy to interact with them. Anyway, someone in my community has four GCC chicks which are 3 weeks old or younger and are now orphaned. The person has been hand-feeding but won’t be able to continue soon. I have experience hand-feeding, and I only have to work in-person two days out of the week, but for the two days I’m away from home I wouldn’t be able to hand-feed those chicks (they need to be fed every 2-4 hours because they’re so little). My question is, do any of you think my conures would adopt the chicks? Have you ever heard of a pair adopting chicks which aren’t theirs? Or do you think the chicks would be killed? My conures just had a clutch of chicks which fledged in March (I co-parent).

New green cheek conure bonding tips?
Hi! I only have experience with budgies and I got a green cheek conure that’s 7 months old about a week ago and for the first few days he wouldn’t come out of his cage, his wings are currently clipped and he’s not hand tamed at all. Now at the one week mark he has started to venture out of his cage slightly and is very interested when I speak to him or am with him but if I put my finger out (not close to him) he will come up to me and then just bite my finger really hard. He will even come up to my finger if I’m holding my phone and bite me and my phone. He doesn’t make any sounds or puff up or show any stress but just bites pretty hard and will keep biting if I don’t remove it then leaves my finger and just watches me from his perch. It’s weird because he comes up to it just to bite when I’m not even near him. I’m not sure if that’s normal or not for first week? Will he grow out of this? He has yet to perch on my finger just bites. Thank you in advance! I know it’s early and am very happy with the progress already made just curious and wanted come bonding tips!

Can someone explain to me what she’s doing?
Wednesday is an extremely affectionate bird and loves to be close and near me. I do everything I can to avoid sending the wrong message but I feel like she’s being flirty here and I don’t want that. How do I discourage it? Or is she just content? She made the flirty noise at one point and I immediately put her down.

GCC VOCABULARY EXPECTATIONS?
Newbie here. Had my boy, LOVEY, a little over a month. he is nine months old today. In the time I’ve had him I’ve taught him to say In the time I’ve had him I’ve taught him to say I love you., “ I love you”.. . The two months prior to that he was basically left in his cage to his own devices but before that it is my understanding he was taught to say, “whatcha doin’” and “ pretty bird”. What I would like, is for people to share their experience, and what their birds have accomplished as far as vocabulary
Look it up on the Internet. It just basically says their vocabulary will be very limited as though they are some subpar parrot lol I personally do not believe this to be true, and would like to hear what the real GCC gang has to say about it. thank you in advance. Can’t wait to hear all about your birbs!
Pic is cause I think think my boy, LOVEY, is so handsome

Will this baby be violet?
The parents are a SF violet female and a natural male which should give a 50/50 chance of a violet from what I’ve read.
I’ve never seen a baby quite like this (no fluff and dark skin lines almost life varicose veines) so I was wondering what you guys think this little guy might be.

HELP!
My 8 month old conure, according to the lovely lady that hand raised him, never bit or got aggressive. He (waiting, DNA results) has been with me for a month. Prior to that, he was with someone who never took him out of the cage for six weeks-2 months. I have had some really good days with him and have even taught him to say. I love you in the month that I’ve had him. He will kiss on command, and I thought he was happy, but he suddenly become aggressive and has bitten really hard on the face, neck and has just become a general jerk
Coming from abuse myself, I really can not handle walking on eggshells and in fear all the time. I dont wanna give up on him. But I also can’t live like this. I have given him a much better life filled with “enrichment “, treats and attention, as well as freedom. poor little guy was in such a small cage when I got him. I thought he liked me and I know sometimes personalities just don’t click but I don’t know what to do. I’m open to suggestions. Please help me.
