Update 5/1/07: I've arranged that so half the cage is in front of the window so he has a view of the garden, as well as a protected area. His former mom was concerned he was afraid of being outdoors, but he seems to be ok with the view. He hangs out on the window side of the cage during the day, and sleeps on the other side.

So far Louie's been bright and inquisitive. He is extremely cage territorial. Once he's away from the vicinity of his cage, and has a few minutes to calm down, he is very friendly and likes head skritches. He has bit a few times when he's been startled. [Note from coordinator: this is very typical behaviour for a GCC!]

He eats pellets, loves walnuts, generally eats a variety of stuff. He seems to like veggies and sprouts more than fruit.

Overall, he's been pretty quiet. He's up about 6:30. He'll chatter a bit, practice his contact calls (He can say his name, a few other words I can't quite understand, coughs, and speaks budgie). The rest of the day he's pretty quiet - he'll respond to the calls from the other birds, and he'll call out if he hears someone walking past.

Louie has a leg band with a 2000 date, so he's probably 6-7 years old.

I'm Louie, a green cheek conure with typical green cheek attitude! I was adopted from Mickaboo once before, but the family has had some human babies and doesn't have time for me anymore so they?ve asked Mickaboo to help me find a new home so that I get the time and attention I need!

I had a really rough start in life before coming to Mickaboo, including being hit and yelled at. So you?ll need to be patient with me, I?m still not entirely trusting of humans!

I haven't had a lot of out-time the last year or so, so I may need some work teaching me to play nicely again ... or at least as nicely as a green-cheek can. There's a reason people call us "little green hand grenades"! We can be total dolls, but we still like to see the world ordered the way we like it best! I like to be scratched on the back of my neck, and will often give myself skritches if there's noone else to do so for me. And I love to be the center of attention - but will bite if I feel that you're not doing things right. Green cheeks have a reputation for being nippy, and I'm not exception.

Are you looking to bring a feathered-monkey into your life? Someone who might be a bit rough around the edges and who needs some time and training to learn to behave in civilized company again? If you think I'm the bird for you, please click the link below and let the conure coordinator know!
