Victoria Ryann hello I was trying to find a way to contact you but I could not. So I’m going to try to reach you through this comment. Hello I’ve been struggling with my rainbow lorikeet for awhile. He’s 3 and is super aggressive and territorial. He used to be my everything and so sweet. Now he keeps biting me and my whole hand is chew up. May u please contact me soon and help me? Thank you so much. I just can’t deal with him anymore and I really don’t want to re home him.

I've noticed my conure's biting has reduced considerably by me simply touching him less. Like letting him be more independent and not assume he wants to be touched. He's a big boy now and doesn't need mom to be constantly all over him 😂

i eventually want to get a gcc and i’m currently birbsitting my moms friends gcc. he’s a good birb but he bit me yesterday to the point he broke some skin. i wish i could spent more time with him to use the techniques i’ve learned through your videos. i think having him for the time i do is a good practice for me, so i can know what to do and what to expect when i do get my own bird someday.

Hi! I just got a Pineapple Conure baby,and this is so helpful to stop his biting on me!He has broke my skin before and he has bit me a lot.but then,since I’m new to birds,I had no idea to do.this was super helpful!I am now gonna stop him because on the first day,me and him made a small bond and now he has feelings for me!thank you,and I love your vids,so helpful,so kind,and amazing!

Oh my gosh - this is EXACTLY what I needed! I have a 12 week old hand fed Alexandrine who weaned right before he came home with me. He is wonderful EXCEPT he is finger aggressive! To the point I think I’ve focused training and him being a perfect bird more than on that than bonding. This is exactly what I needed to learn and understand. Thank You. I will use a stern “no we don’t do that.” And focus more on bonding. Thank You

@@makeanaveragemanrich1284 - I don’t want to start a war, but buying a bird from a pet store chain have usually been bred at a breeding mill, not hand-fed, and not used to people. It’s a little harder to tame a pet store bird, but I’ve had luck with re-homed birds, so it just takes a lot/little more patience. They will be a little more skittish, as they’re not used to be around humans. Now, that said, for a while I remember people buying up PetStore birds as a way to rescue them, but what they don’t realize is that the PetStore will just re-stock with another bird, and so it goes. I had a friend who ‘rescued’ every bird she saw in a PetStore, when it would be more constructive to speak to the owner and express your concerns. It is a better choice to get a bird from a breeder who knows the parents and have truly handled and hand-fed the bird. If you don’t mind the extra bit of a challenge (not much, really) then it doesn’t matter, and again, you will not stop the PetStore from selling them by boycotting them - and it won’t make a difference in their practices - you do what you want to do and don’t worry about creating a market because it’s already there. When she said “I know its a big no-no” she’s referring to the act of birds being born in a bird mill. Nobody likes that; but they’re not going to stop.

I have a 19 month old pineapple green cheek conure & overall she's a good girl. In the first few months she was very nippy but I started stroking her beak & calmly saying No whenever she did something wrong & she does stop the bad behavior. My big problem is that she's my Velcro bird. I can't get her off me & also, since I've had her (have had her since she was 2 1/2 months old), she is literally afraid of EVERYTHING! Afraid of life! And I don't know why. I used to breed birds & have never seen a bird so afraid of every little thing! I just subscribed to your channel &'from the few videos I've seen so far I absolutely love & are very informative. I'm gonna have to do a marathon watch on your videos soon to catch up! 😊💚💜💙

Thx a lot kinda relax now cuz getting a baby green cheeked conure tomorrow!!!!!!!!! Her name is Kiwi!!! I love your channel!!! 😘😘😘😘😘

I've 2 beautiful parrots an Amazon and a Conure. I bought my Amazon (Sid) when he was also 3 months old and he's now 15. I bought my conure (Emma) when she was 3 months old and she's now 10. Emma was very tame and loving but from the time she turned 2, she started biting very hard to cause blood and would not stop! Emma would bite our visitors and after they left she'd also bite Sid and me. She still bites but not as often and hard to cause blood any longer. Sid is a sweetheart; he does not bite anyone and when Emma bites him, he'd walk or fly away from her but he'd never bite her! I'll continue to try and stop Emma from biting and would NEVER give up! Thank you, Victoria for sharing your expertise with us. Btw, your birds are lovely!

Thanks so much! New to this whole thing and I really didnt want to scare my green cheek so when it would break my skin I didnt know what to do. When he holds on now and I do the fake bird bite thing he stops and starts being really sweet, in fact he hasn't really been buying anymore just nips a little

I have a green cheek and she has never bitten me but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Thanks for the information!

Dont put your green cheek back in cage after a bite. Just ignore him for a while. After some time your green cheek will regret and come back to you because they dont want to stay alone for a long time

I want to thank you for your great advice. On Easter Sunday my cute little cuddle bug conure suddenly started becoming VERY aggressive. Over the past two weeks I have been almost afraid to interact with him at all because he never gave me a break and was constantly attacking me. Last night I watched your video about holding the side of his beak and being firm with him when he attacked. I was afraid to try it because I knew I was inviting even more bites in the attempt to stop him. I was so surprised though. This morning when he went to bite I followed your advice and he completely backed down. In fact, tonight he is back to his cuddly self, with only a couple of half-hearted bite attempts after that initial one, I think just to test me. I have my bird back! Thank you! I will definitely tell other bird "parents" about your videos.

@@eelkostroek2496 It's very hard training conures. I got mine to reduce biting by saying "ok ok ok ok" like I'm in pain and saying "No bite" and bopping on his beak with my finger and walking away. Give him something else to chew on like chew toys or newspaper made caves. He may also be biting as a way to communicate what he doesn't want you to do. Have to get a sense of its boundaries and what it likes and doesn't. Mine is 5 years old.

AMAZING ADVICE!!!!!!

Thank you you’re video here has been inspiring I have a green cheek conure and have learned timing is absolutely crucial and being firm but not frightening is crucial my green cheek conure Toby likes going on the edge of my cup when empty and sometimes get a little over bite then I say no that’s not very nice and walk him in another room on the cup or my hand then when he is good walk slowly back then he is fine but yes they are very split second changing very active birds he is coming up to two years of age.

I’m aware green cheek conures are different than peach front conures but do you think training would be similar?? I wasn’t able to really find any videos on peach front conures and yours seemed super knowledgeable and helpful

Loved the video! My daughter is dealing with an unruly turquoise now. (draws blood) From chickens to Indian ringnecks lots of birds flock in the wild. Built in they (mostly males) have a passive trait where they are always pushing to be the alpha so that their DNA is carried forward with better mating opportunities food options etc. I found that a bird (even if it respects you as the alpha) will always naturally try to push that border. Some basic things you do can allow them to overcome your "perceived status" in the flock. The respect will be pushed and sometimes they need a subtle reminder that you are in charge. It's a delicate balance because, you are not a bird, and not a potential mate. But their brain tries to place you into a category: From a male birds perspective: Threat because fear (of injury/life) which most wild birds categorize us as Threat because alpha (Flock mate with respect) Non-threat because they consider you lower on the flock pecking order (beta) Non-threat because mate (beta female) Unfortunately male and female birds do not know how to define your sex and will try to read from other queues. When petting, stay away from their middle to lower back. Often times the alpha in a flock will help guide them to food/drink. That is why treats work as an incentive. It's one of the most powerful tools you have, second to that being patience and trying to think about the birds perspective when handling. Imagine a giant 1000lb hand reaching down to grab you and pushing your head around smashing their finger into your face. Being VERY gentle once you've gained basic trust will help build trust faster. When they realize you are gentle, they are more willing to work with you. After this stage you can work from the pecking order psychology much easier as you will be "accepted" into their flock. My predicament now is inconsistency. Inconsistency makes training nearly impossible (especially potty related.) My kids always wanted to hold my bird and they wouldn't listen to him when he let them know he had to go and so he eventually stopped giving queues. I also caught them chasing him once he fell off their shoulder. So he no longer waits to poop, and also bites pretty bad as he perceives fingers as a potential threat (fear) Going through retraining now but it's rough after being invalidated. (treats are your friend) Stick to positive reinforcement most as negative can be retroactive in some cases.

I was the 600th liker :D

It's very hard training conures. I got mine to reduce biting by saying "ok ok ok ok" like I'm in pain and saying "No bite" and bopping on his beak with my finger and walking away. Don't give him attention when he bites. Give him something else to chew on like chew toys or newspaper made caves. He may also be biting as a way to communicate what he doesn't want you to do. Have to get a sense of its boundaries and what it likes and doesn't. Mine is 5 years old.

@@UnsaltedCashew38 yeah i have two, my regular gcc doesnt really liketo be pet, but it allows me sometimes

I just got my new gcc from their previous owner and I can tell by how they act that they moved their fingers away every time they tried to bite I’ve tried everything but nothing works they keep nipping and I don’t know what to do I’m trying my best to bond but I can’t even feed them outside the cage without being bitten it’s constant. And they don’t see me as a part of their flock so I can’t shun them I can’t do anything I try to do the step up thing too but that doesn’t work! Please tell me there’s a way this can be fixed

I love the video! Problem, I have a 8yr old rehome gcc, and when she head bobs and walks up to me, she sometimes steps onto me, and so times bites hard enough to break skin. How can I tell if she is choosing violence?

Hi I just found your channel so helpful. My conure has become very nipy she is 6 She lives with two button quail at the bottom do you think that’s why 😢

Love your hair

Very helpful videos. Well done!! I am getting a 2 months old green cheek or 2 months old quaker as a pet for my child who is 5 years old (obviously under parents supervision). Which of them would you recommend for small child? Thanks

Hi Victoria im looking into getting a quaker parrot so if u could make a video about things to know before buying a quaker parrot and the things you have to invest in. Also do you think they are good for a first bird. It would help me out alot on my decision all your other videos have already helped me out so muchhh thanks ily ❤❤❤

Yes definitely Kaitlyn thank you!!! I usually don't recommend a first time bird owner to have a quaker but that doesn't mean at all that a beginner can't handle one. Plenty of people's first bird was a quaker. The only reason I don't is because they can be little bitey territorial jerks which can be overwhelming to first timers that usually don't know how to handle this. But if you've been watching my videos and learning quaker behavior and how to control the situation.... you'll be just fine :) sounds like you are really wanting to learn and have a big heart so you'd do great with a quaker :)

Hi! How long do you recommend until you start disciplining with a new green cheek?

A few months agp I got a free green check conure when the owner jobs caused her to be out of town most of the time.. He spends all day out of his cage. He had been raised from a baby and was 7 tears old. I became impatient after a couple of weeks and mistakenly grabbed him out of his cage and he lost trust in me. Recently I had gotten him to fly to my arm and I would talk to him with no problem. A couple of days ago he few to my arm and took a hunk out of it. Today he flew to my face and made it bleed. When I tried to take him off, my thumb and arm got bites to bleed. I kind of flung him to the window, not trying to but I wanted him off. So I will continue watching your videos hoping. I can keep the bird. I am in alot of pain.

How do you get him to stop ripping paper and screaming for no reason I have this bird for like three yrs about , should I put him back in his cage and cover him I'm glad I found you I'm watching all your vedios

Hi Victoria, I recently got a GCC and I am quite new to birds. He seems to be doing ok and loves to eat and be hand feed but he refuses to get too close or sit on my arm or shoulder. He is a few months old, and I also tried training him with a stick but seems to be scared of it. Do you think he will eventually be more comfortable and sit on shoulder maybe? Any tips?

So I wanted a bird for 3 years, and I started watching your videos and expected green cheek conures to be easy to take care of... I got one about 2 months ago and the pet store said she was nippy but I expected to create a very good bond but that's not going well and she's been wanted attention one second and the next she just breaks the skin :(

They are such nice pets

I have 2 3 months old green cheek conures how can I train them together?

So I just got my first ever bird, and I went with a Green Cheek Conure. I have had her since Wednesday and she already lets me hand feed her and whatnot to my surprise. She went up on to my shoulder today and was preening me which was adorable but she kept finding her way to my earlobe. I tried to be stern with her and turn away but she kept biting where eventually it turned purple. She did not break skin nor was she intending to. I have a chew toy on order for her...when that gets here should that be enough to redirect the attention? What is your opinion? Any advice would be great, thank you.

Glenn is my favorite and is big he noticed you wow

Yeah he's awesome!!!

I have a pineapple conure and she just started biting and breaking my skin and when I say no she keeps doing it and when I try to put her away in her cage or I walk out of the room after she bites me she just comes back out and when I come back into the room she just come over to me and bites me again I don’t know what to do. Please tell me.

I am at a loss with my 3 yr old gcc. We had a sun conure that he was unseperatable from and unfortunately one day she got out. He became depressed so I brought this to the attention of my avian vet. She suggested getting him a friend. I gave it a lot of thought before doing so. At first he wanted nothing to do with her and would still cling to me but now all he wants to do is bite me every chance he gets no matter what I do. How can I change/fix this?

My new 4 month old green cheeked conure (got him yesterday) has already taken 7 chunks out of my finger and hand (breaking the skin/bleeding) Should I do the imitation bird bite thing like she said when he latches on or is he too young?

I have a hand reared green cheek conure about 12 weeks old he was biting but not so bad now but when he’s on my shoulder he nips my neck repeatedly how can I stop this he like pinches my neck skin and holds on any advise please we are still bonding he try’s to regurgitate food and give it me aswell
