About Green Cheek Conure

Coco is a healthy young male that loves to be near someone or see what you're doing most of the time. He does like relaxing on his perches around the house or top of his cage preening too. He's been flighted most of his life so has access to most of the house and I have perches where he is allowed to be but he likes sneaking to the kitchen counter top to steal a snack when he can. He is very tame with me, is never aggressive but when I have to leave the house he doesn't behave as well with my wife and kids. They're not 'bird people' so they don't know how to control or handle him or know when he wants something. When he's not getting his way he sometimes gets a little nippy. They don't generally handle him but rather tolerate when he flies and lands on their head or shoulder where he likes to hang out. If you make the effort and let him chill on you and speak to him and give him treats he will warm up to you and really connect with you, which happened with my mom. When I'm home he's very sweet with me and loves attention but he really loves female figures more so and will always go to my daughter and wife before me, although if they try to handle him, because they haven't established the respect and trust I have with him, he bites them. If you're a bird person and know how to engage with birds and gain their trust he will definitely get to the point where he is with me, just takes a little time. Due to my job I have to be away from the house which is when he likes to act up with my wife and son, squawking to be let out or because he wants something you're eating, trying to steal whatever food is being prepped, trying to get a bath while you're trying to wash dishes and can't get him off the sink spigot because he gets mad that you're not letting him have his way. So my family is taking the brunt of the burden of his behavior when I'm gone. When i'm home he's a little angel of course. His behavior is probably also driven by my absence. My wife is always home so someone is always around and he's out of his cage a majority of the time. I'm looking for someone who is very experienced with birds, Conures even better, within short driving distance to the Bedford NH area. I would be letting him go live with the next potential owner until such time as they are 100% convinced they want to keep him but at least a month trial. If it doesn't work out, that's completely fine and I will happily take him back. I'm only looking to re-home him to someone who will give him a quality of life that's similar or better. Preferably someone who will be home most or all of the time spending time with this fella who deserves all the love and attention of his next close buddy. Serious persons only please. I'm asking for a $250 fee mostly to weed out non-serious persons. If it doesn't work out and he's returned, I will return the fee. Person must have a cage and an environment that is safe and conducive for a healthy and happy lifestyle for Coco.
