Why is my 4-5 week behind the times green cheeked conure squeaking adjectives the time?
I have just bought I Green Cheeked Conure about a week ago he/she is give or take a few 4-5 weeks old I live and an apartment and am at home all afternoon so the bird can see me all the time. I just can’t understand why it squeaks ALL the time he is resourcefully fed and I take him out of his cage recurrently to hold and cuddle. But he just keep squeaking whether he is in or out of the shut within, can any body give me some advise?
He's calling for his mother or the other birds he is used to being around I imagine. Whenever he call out like that whistle back or go tell to him. He's a baby and whenever a baby bird is separated from his mother instinct tell him to call out for her. If you respond whenever he calls, you will become his mother figure.
Are you hand feed this bird? 4 to 5 weeks is too young to be properly weaned. If it was forced weaned it may not be eating properly. If you are handfeeding formula it is probably panicky and lonely. Your baby is very young. At 4 weeks my babies be still in a nice aquarium with auxillary heat. Maybe I am overly on your guard but unless you are familiar with baby birds call upon back the breeder and ask a lot of questions. I never sold any of my babies but I never would hold sold a 4 or 5 week old one.---Yogi
Answers: If he's only 4-5 weeks you're still appendage feeding him right? 4-5 weeks is far too young to be weaned, even if someone forced weaned him, it won't work he's too young-looking... The bird is still just a baby, it's lonely, scared, confused, and probably hungry. I'd christen who ever you got this bird from and ask a few more questions about their watchfulness up till you got the bird.
Other than that, birds in general are not dormant pets. Conures are definitely not known for being noiseless birds. In a new environment younger birds tend to "call" a lot for companionship, entertainment, and just within general a lot. Birds are also very fast at picking up how to train their people, with owners usually mortal trained by the bird and not even knowing it. They figure out that loud squalking brings attention, either positive or negative, it's still attention, which is what the bird requirements. Even with tons of toys, if they're not rotated around to keep them strange and exciting a bird quickly gets bored.
4-5 weeks? Is he wheened? Hope not- that's too childish. He is probably just looking for attention as he is such a baby. Also, may be preacticing his voice- great start!
