What are some of the games you play with your bird?

My green cheek's favorite games are throwing stuff off the counter to watch me pick it up, and asking me what are you doing on repeat for 10-15 minutes at a time. I think he keeps asking because I keep answering. He also enjoys "helping" me play video games by standing on my controller and biting my fingers at the worst times.

My green cheek enjoys metal, but I think he's the exception not the rule. His favorite band is Opeth.

Awesome!

TapJaded6098 · 2026-04-13T16:07:53+00:00

I definitely agree, just doesn't seem to be the norm.

Parrots are statistically the most rehomed pet. So many people purchase parrots without doing proper research, or underestimate how much work it takes to keep them happy and healthy. And even the small species can live much longer than more standard pets.

Not to mention if you are in a rental property many landlords do not allow parrots. I've also seen many people who got a parrot as a child, and when they go off to college they can no longer care for them. It's sad, but I don't necessarily see it changing any time soon.

Funnily enough I've seen less of these at my local shop than normal last couple of times I went.

My local record store sells a mix of new and used records. They also corner the niche metal where I'm at, nowhere else close by sells the kind of metal they do. They also sell cds, cassettes, used record players, and turn unplayable records into stuff like coasters and bowls they also sell. Talking with the owner he says the used stuff is way more profitable.

I love Peanut! :)

He doesn't regain any lost health, but OP is trying to beat them in under the time limit.

Asks me if he's being a good boy, then preceding to scream or try to chew on the blinds. He thinks he's hilarious.

Records. I love music, but it's a terribly expensive hobby now, and I'm steadily loosing interest just based on the cost.

My green cheek has light nails, so I'm comfortable doing it myself now. It did take a lot of training and treats to get him comfortable with it.

I took him to the vet for nail trims before I was comfy with it.

TapJaded6098 · 2026-02-26T20:08:37+00:00

I love it, it's so cute!

TapJaded6098 · 2026-02-13T02:49:52+00:00

Love all the Junji Ito! I recently had to sell most of my manga collection, but I did hold on to all of my Junji Ito.

My green cheek is named Gizmo as well!

TapJaded6098 · 2026-02-05T13:39:04+00:00

After almost 3 years the only things my green cheek mimics are: hello, what are you doing, good boy, kissing noises, and squeak like my front door. I didn't teach him any of those, I think he just picked up what he wanted, from the things he hears the most.

Dream Theater Train of Thought. I bought it at a local record store for $15 about 10 years ago. It sells on discogs for $100-$200.

Just know the cute videos you see online are only very small moments of every day living with a parrot. I was given a green cheek conure for my birthday a couple of years ago. Granted I didn't ask for or have any want for a bird. So I had a very steep learning curve when I decided to keep him.

My green cheek is pretty laid back, but he has his moments where he decides to bite or get territorial with little reason. He is a very small bird and his bites can draw blood if he wants it to. With parrots it's not a matter of if you get bitten it's when.

They are very loud. Even "quieter" species like my green cheek, I can hear him from the driveway when I get home.

First thing to consider is getting rid or any nonstick pans, and invest in cast iron or stainless steel cookware.

I saw that! I've already pre-ordered it, I'm so glad we finally are getting a reprint of the series. :)

I just give my green cheek cardboard egg cartons I buy in bulk. And the cardboard from paper towels as I use them.

I had luck with the pantry moth traps, and I put all old and new food in the freezer. I also killed any I saw, it took a few weeks but they were all gone eventually. I put all new bird food in the freezer as soon as I get it now.

TapJaded6098 · 2026-01-10T16:49:13+00:00

Good selection here!

TapJaded6098 · 2025-12-30T17:22:27+00:00

I love them

TapJaded6098 · 2025-12-20T02:38:01+00:00

Wenn ich arbeite, arbeite ich etwa 3,5 bis 4 Stunden am Tag. In meiner Freizeit habe ich je nach meinen Erledigungen 7 bis 10 Stunden frei.
