- Are you considering a wonderful, new, feathered companion?
Two popular parrots are Parrotlets and Green-cheek Conures. In this video I'll talk to you about some of the ways they are similar apartment parrots and some of the ways they are different. I'll also tell you which I would choose if I could only have one.

We lost our young GCC in a tragic home accident, and our lives were suddenly so empty. He brought us so much fun and joy and affection. A co worker had sun conure babies, and we got a sun conure. He's wilder and louder but so fun and affectionate. I'll never not have a bird.
So sorry to hear about your GCC loss. Yes, that would leave an empty space. Glad you enjoy the Sun Conure. Different genus of parrot, and different for sure. What's your Sun's name?
I agree with almost all of what you have said-primarily that parrotlets are more independent (and very good at entertaining themselves); and that GCCs are more personable and in your face.
But in my experience GCCs are more intelligent, and pack more of the parrot experience in a small body. GCCs notice more around them, and react to it much more faster and intensely than parrotlets. They also use thier feet to hold food or toys, like thier larger brethren. They truly are miniature parrots, whereas parrotlets have more of the smaller bird (aka budgie) persona.
I always hear that parrotlets have big bird personality in a small body, and while this is somewhat true, I think GCCs take the title for big parrot behavior in a tiny body. I’ve been around and lived with parrots from parrotlets to large macaws and Toos; and I have chosen to live with and adore my GCC because this species generally offers the cuddlyness and affectionate nature of cockatoos or macaws with the playful antics of most larger parrots-and all in a 70 gram very manageable body. My GCC is also the quietest parrot I have ever known; and when he does scream, it’s only for 2-5 seconds and at a very tolerable volume level and pitch. However he is very active and often pugnaciously stubborn, reminding me very much of caiques I have known. Other GCCs I have known (particularily females) have been more mellow than my Tiki.
Cons-GCCs have minuscule talking talents, and can be quite nippy when young (and can turn into biters if not handled well during this juvinelle nippy stage). I also find them-very much like larger parrots-more finicky about food sometimes (parrotlets have been for me voracious eaters that will try most anything). My Tiki enjoys sprouts and veggies, but adores his Psittacus Minor pellets above all else, persistently ignoring cold pressed organic pellets, and only eating seeds and nuts when all traces of the Psittacus are gone.
I love Tiki's name!!!
Interesting, I don't find my GCC to be finicky eaters- but I agree on your points about GCC. I too am falling more in love with them- they have everything going for them!
We are getting very precious informations for our loved ones thanks to you 🥰🙌🏻
Thank you for saying so! Glad you are benefiting from the videos!
Youre simply the best! I really like all your content and your input is very much appreciated.
I appreciate that! Thanks!!!
Just adorable. I love GCC’s and would love to have a couple. GCC’s seem so sweet. Caiques can be very sweet and cuddly but they are generally little wack jobs. I totally enjoyed this video. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Jan- yeah, I could see you loving GCC! Mine don't go near the Caiques-
Great video! I find parrotlets harder to bond with but I love them! I've found them noticably quieter than green cheeks but neither bad. Thanks for posting... great info!
I also find my parrotlets harder than lovebirds (i had before). Lovebird was ALL about chilling and nuzzling. My parrotlets are so abrasive!
Thanks for posting, Robin. Yeah, Parrotlets are just cute little things! I adore them, despite their being a little harder :)
Yes, Parrotlets can be that way-
@@ParrotBliss I think it was Betty White that said "it ain't easy being easy". I know she was an animal lover but I'm not sure if she was talking about parrots. 😂
Nice video 😊
Thank you!
Parrots are awesome love my conure
I SOOOO agree!
Really good advice. It definitely helped. I think I could tell some of this from observing many videos of each but I would get the i pressuon that green cheeks were in a way more bitey or hassle? It's all quite subjective I know, but I agree about the personable nature of the green cheek, from what I've seen and heard.
Thanks for the video! :)
It depends on each individual bird. Parrotlets and GCC can bite, especially their first year. So, which are you going to get?
@@ParrotBliss out of the two, it would definitely be Green cheeks, but I'm also looking into Sierra Parakeets, do you have any experience of those? They all seem like great parrots.
@@makerealitygreatagain8809 I don’t have experience with Sierras- i’ve never seen one here. However, my friend Donna at #LoveOfPets has 2 and she has videos on them.
Ya, that's how I found out they even exist, on her channel. They're really nice, but you don't really find them in the UK. I've also been looking at Linnies as an alternative. It's really a choice between a linnie and green cheek now, quite different parrots though.
Is River a definite female? Just trying to study some similar/contrast mating season behaviors to my male
Would it be good/ok to put two conures in the same cage or they should have their own cage? Tysm! ❤
Would one conure and one parrotlet get along and be a good flock?
Not that I have ever, ever seen. Parrotlets are too small. Two conures in one cage should be ok, if they are about the same size or species. However, you have to watch and make sure they like each other and get along before you leave them alone together. Also, they should both be new to the cage so that neither claimed it as ‘their territory.’
@@ParrotBliss Gotcha! Thank you so much for your reply 🩵
@@Goople77 absolutely!
Can I keep Green cheek in an apartment, any noise issue?
Always possible (unhappy, screaming parrot or sick parrot), but unlikely to be a problem. They are known for being good apt parrots. I reccomend 2. If you spend time with them, they still bond and it keeps them healthier and happier to have a friend.
@@ParrotBliss Can they live with P let in a same cage be a buddy and still play with me.
@@ikcaruswingz live with a Parrotlet is a small cage? I wouldn’t risk it. Separate cages.
Do you have blue crown conures. I have two sisters I need help with
No, but you can ask- if I can I’ll help
@@ParrotBliss I have had the two sisters for one month their bond is very tight.they don’t like me reaching in the cage for them. They seem afraid of m y hand . Once out of the cage I can get them to step up but they are still afraid.. was I wrong to get sisters. Will I ever be able to get them to trust me?
@@andreadawson9216 I would guess that blue crown Conyers are the same as others - I think you were right to get sisters. Give it time. How old were they? It may just take time for you to become a part of the flock. Try to spend time with one at a time bonding with them or training them. Persist, you will have an awesome little flock if you give it time and patience.
Do I need two Green cheeks if I have four parakeets?
As long as they aren’t together- GCC can be aggressive with parakeets
@@ParrotBliss thank you

Great idea!
