ET>This little guy has a BIG personality and is very charming and really
ET>seems to want to be with humans a lot. We are trying not to spoil it
ET>too much. The problem I have run into is that he is a little nippy. Is
ET>this something that we can work with to teach him not to bite? He isn't
ET>mean or anything...he just likes to take a little nip of anything around
ET>him (including ears, shoulders, arms, hairs on arms, freckles, moles,
ET>clothing, and almost anything else he can.) Does anyone know if it is
ET>possible to modify this behavior in Green-Cheeked Conures? We have given
ET>him many and varied "chewing" materials in his cage and I do realize

  First congratulations on getting a green cheek, I have two their great
  little birds.  Mine are like that too, but not to the point where
  they'll break the skin, it's more of a playful thing.  I know mine
  love to have their beak and head rubbed.
