Meet Ozzy

This is my green cheek conure, Ozzy. We got him last august and he is about 1 1/2 years old now. If you don't know anything about green cheek conures, they are the most wonderful birds ever! well, i guess i'm just a little biased. ;-) green cheeks are very playful, they sometimes boss others around thinking he is as big as a macaw (even though he is only 10 inches long from head to end of tail), and they are actually much quieter than cockatiels and other parrots. green cheeks dont squawk or screech.

Ozzy can say his name (he says it all the time!), "step up", and he can "laugh" - the "ha ha ha" type - and sometimes eerily at the right times. he is so tame, that we can scratch him pretty much anywhere and he'd love it if he is in the mood. and when he wants to play with you, he'd roll over on his back and try to playfully bite at your fingers.

If anyone is looking into getting a pet, think of a green cheek. they are suuuuuuuppppper pets. Here are a few links for more info on green cheeks:

I highly recommend buying your next bird from them because they have a wide assortment of birds and the people there are very helpful and informative.

Ciao!
