Hey conure lovers!
The long awaited video on crimson bellied conures. I feel there isn’t enough information out there about them so I thought I’d start by making a general video about their physical traits, personality and behaviour.
Don’t forget, every parrot is an individual so you will see different behaviours in each parrot depending on so many things.
But the information presented in this video is not just from my experiences of Crimson bellies, but from many other owners experiences across various platforms.
Hope you find it useful and if you want more crimson content do let me know!

ive got a crimson bellied one!!!! hes 4! is that old?
My yellow sided green cheek tummy feathers havenāt come back after molting. Doesnāt look like they are pulling them out and we are loading up on lots of healthy vitamins- do you have any more tips?
I wish I had this video some months ago. My friend got a baby CBC without too much planning, she asked me some advice and I told her what I knew about conures in general (I never had one, so it was just what I read/heard). I knew they were hard work, but her CBC is extra hard work lol After seeing your video, I'm starting to grasp why hahaha
My girl CB has actually calmed down a lot since she laid her first lot of eggs earlier this year. However my boy who is 2 years younger than her will bully her and is a much more agitated bird. However he has finally got his beak biting strength under control and will warn me rather than hold onto my finger and grind (glad thatās in the past šš½) I find I have to really watch their body language very carefully and when I donāt I get nailed or warned.
Your video is really interesting cos the breeder told me that they are more mellow and quieter that green cheeks and cos I donāt have any other experience I believed that till now.
Thanks so much for your videos and as a crimson parront I would love to see more crimson info
So true!!!. I have a green cheek and a CBC. I was told CBC are Calm, cuddley , quiet, shy! Umm NO. My GCC is all that. My CBC is loud , sensitive, hormonal, Bully,instigator and I can keep going. So before you get one speak with someone who owns one and a trainer. They are a lot of work!! āParrot teacherā is awesome ! I recommend signing up with them for a training session.
Muy buen tip
I have 2 GCCs and a CBC. The CBC is relatively more curious and enjoys playing with toys by itself. The GCCs are more sociable and try to make friends with the CBC but the CBC in its younger days (up to 9 months) will shoo them off, currently (2 years old) the CBC just ignores them. The bite strength of the CBC is milder compared to the GCC as it was hand-fed by myself as a chick. My previous CBC (not hand-fed) can leave bite scars. Haven't experienced the mood swings of the CBCs much but I believe they don't always like to be told or instructed what to do, so I give it some space to be free-ranging. I tend to believe that the more assertive and confident the bird, the more intelligent they are.
Thanks for the video great info! I've been researching Crimsons to possibly get one and this is the first I've heard of them having these mood swings. So far all I've heard is them being very even tempered, do you have any insight on why there may be such a difference in experiences? I'm curious because I have a pretty busy house, 3 medium sized dogs and 3 other people so I am hoping to find a parrot that could be a good fit for us. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I didn't know the personalities and behaviors of crimson bellies could be so different from green cheeks. Great insights as always, thanks!
My crimson is exactly as you describe. He is adorable and cuddly one minute and then he gets over excited and can nip. He talks a lot too.
It's interesting that you say they've got more time powerful beaks than other conures. And yes he loves to have long screeching sessions for no reason.
I didn't know any of this when I adopted him š
He's adorable and I love him but I am very cautious about even thinking of introducing another bird into our home. I don't know if he'd really object.
