My avian veterinarian said that Green-cheeked Conures have become one of the most common parrots she sees in her practice. Why is this?
Green-cheeked Conures have many things working in their favor. They are ideal when it comes to size and sound, for a parrot. Compared to the price and sound level, a Green-cheek Conure (GCC) can’t be beat. While there are a few parrots that would be quieter, they will either be smaller, like a budgie or Parrotlet, or they will be more expensive.
The size of a GCC is wonderful. They are usually classified as a small parrot, but they are big enough for you to feel their weight when they land on your shoulder. They are small enough to not have a bite that can cause too much damage and they can easily enjoy flying around an apartment without feeling that their flying space is too limited.
Being a ‘small’ conure, they are easy to care for as well. A cage, food and toys for them are far more financially feasible than larger parrots.

Do you recommend getting two GCCs at the same time or getting one, then adding the second a few months later? I'm planning on getting two in the future, but just unsure about how exactly to go about it
Love my pineapple cinnamon green cheek
Thanks for this! You’re quickly becoming my favorite source of parrot info on youtube! I appreciate how much experience you have with so many species 😊. It gives me a lot of confidence that you’re not giving biased info out while i search for my next companion parrot!
My 7 month female has been really sweet to me but she’s aggressive to other people. I was thinking of getting another female bird and hopefully they get along. Would you recommend getting the same species or will it be okay if I get another similar sized species like a Nanday Conure?
Great explanation, thanks
We got ours last April, he's a pineapple, prefers my partner, but tolerates me, I don't mind
I love mine. My little female Leeloo is a cuddly sweet little thing and harness training green cheeks by far out of all the birds is easiest in my opinion. They don’t mind the handling as much. They are funny and mischievous and into everything, too smart for their own good but so loving you find it endearing instead of annoying lol.
We have had ours for 5 years and it's been an amazing experience of love and laughter. She is harness trained and comes out with us virtually everywhere that we go. Like most people we have found her nippy but that's just part of their huge personality. I watch your channel each day and really appreciate the effort that you put in to it. I hope that the you tube algorithm comes good and that you get the viewer numbers that you deserve.
They are sweet as heck. A bird that stays still for more than 5 seconds would be a treat! Everyone I know that lives with a GCC says the same thing. That is, once you get past the beaky stage you have a loving companion.
How do they compare to a cockatiel? I've only had experience with budgies and cockatiels. Also how do they interact with budgies? (For example, I was told budgies might bully a cockatiel)
I just adopted a five year old gcc this weekend.
Ur so right
I have 2 and they were both gifted to me, in a time span of 2 years. the owner found them nippy and loud, but like you said after a year they got used to me and now they just want to snuggle. 1 is about 3 years old and the other one is a baby of 4 months. I'm really happy that their owners gave them to me 🙂
