Hi. I have a Green Cheek Pineapple Conure. Got her from the very best place..Preuss Pets Lansing, Mi
She was hand fed/raised. I brought her home when she was around 6 or 7 mos old.
I have had her for about 8 mos. We are, now, getting our groove with one another. I am not sure of the sound she makes....Olive is full flighted. Her cage is quite large. Many different toys..fabulous food...do not give her a seed diet. He/she will pick out what she likes and leave the rest. Feed her quality pellet food. Each pellet has the same nutrition. I give Olive two different fresh veggies daily.
Sorry, I digress.
Yes, their "house" is their safe haven. It may take a while to trust you when putting your hand in her house. I open the door and pull down the 'porch" when allowing her out. That is when I put my hand in her home to take out the dishes, then refill them.
Olive makes different sounds...thru time I have learned what she means.
Hang in there, be patient...they are lovely parrots.
My name is Barb. You are welcome to call me with questions if you wish. I, previously, had Charlie, a Solomon Island Ecelctus...Quite familiar with birds...
They are all different, personality wisre, you need to get to know one another.
Very good luck...
