We recently got a baby Cinnamon mutation Green Cheek Conure. She (dna’d) can be very sweet, and loves head rubs. But when you put your hands in her cage she screeches like she thinks she is a bird of prey (thats what it reminds me of anyhow). Is it cuz she is a baby (hatched on 11/21/06) or do they always act like this? I am hoping she (Mecca) will grow out of it with age. And they have some very sharp beaks so we get startled and pull our hands away. The avaiary we got her from said that she was well socialized, yet when she first perched on us there she was all nippy and stuff. So I am not sure how much socialization they did with her. I know avairies are very busy with all the hand feeding, so I am a bit disapointed that she is not more tame. We drove four hours to get her, and we can barely handle her. Any green cheek owners have the same problem, and how did you over come it??
Thanks a lot
