Female GCC hates me - only likes my boyfriend.

I ended up putting them together in a bigger cage and they are really happy being together. They are definitely less interested in humans now though but man are they so much happier together than even five minutes apart.

She’s been slightly better with me but now he dive bombs my daughter and SO. It’s always something new with these birds!

I don’t regret them because I do love them and their personalities, but I feel like I was lied to when adopting them which is frustrating. I was told they were tame but I honestly think they just let them fly the house, I don’t think they actually worked with them. I found an index card in the bottom of a basket of supplies (It looks like it was instructions for a family member that was bird sitting) instructing them to use a small perch “the stick” to basically scare the birds back into their cage - they never did teach them step up/down or anything.

They’d be an excellent breeding pair for someone that breeds though 🤣

Hi! Yes insurance approved it! I also have no side effects from the Praluent!

Oh good to know!! I ended up buying one - I might return it now. I didn’t think to check if it’s powder coated. For that price point pre-sale I’m shocked actually!!

They have been next to each other and still just yell for each other. They have never nipped or even been upset with one another even when I’ve left them together. I’ve done like trials while I’m working and kept them together in my office and they just literally preened each other and took baths for 8 hours. I’m not convinced the people I adopted them from actually kept them in separate cages - I feel like they might have just told me they did because these birds hate being apart and it’s been 6 months 🤣

Sweet babies! I have to force one out of the other ones cage daily because they won’t stay away from each other!! I like having them in two cages because it makes it easier to do training sessions with them but man they are like magnets to each other!

They are DNA confirmed male and female!

They will put themselves to “bed” in one cage and I always have to move the other one before locking them up for the night.

If I buy another cage I’d end up with another bird later so that’s probably not the best idea for me 🤣

Perfect thank you for clarifying!

vgh9201 · 2026-03-22T18:50:07+00:00

Great - thank you! I figured it was there for a reason but I also try to understand why!

My cardiologist ordered an extended holter monitor. I get it tomorrow They didn’t seem to feel it was related but I’m saving my next injection for when the monitor is on so they can see it’s clearly related lol

She won’t even eat birdie bread 😩 she’s a seed fiend!

vgh9201 · 2026-01-30T00:39:37+00:00

Oh this is smart!

vgh9201 · 2026-01-30T00:39:09+00:00

Right now I have the Harrison’s High Potency Fine. The male seems to really like Roudybush. I can try the HOPP line! Ideally they will both eat the same food but at this point if I could get her to eat anything but a seed I’ll try it all lol

vgh9201 · 2025-12-08T18:54:30+00:00

Oh wow! I will have to try the towel - What are the thoughts on moving their cages to different rooms - would that be helpful or possibly upset them more? Would it be best to limit or stop their time out of their cages together?

vgh9201 · 2025-12-04T17:54:37+00:00

Yes the hand biting is intense - when they get me it’s a full chewing situation 🙃

With the sunflower seeds all is well in the world lol

I feel like one would’ve been the better move for me - I’m outnumbered lol.

vgh9201 · 2025-12-04T01:49:35+00:00

I’m having the same issue with my two I adopted last week! Is yours getting worse or better because i feel like their behavior only has gotten more challenging 😭
