Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

White Eared Conure with Green Cheek Conure?
Does anyone know whether it would be safe to house a green cheek conure with a white eared conure? Anyone have experience with either species? I've had my green cheek for 3.5 years. Yesterday, I went to pick up a "free to good home" green cheek with the agreement that I would only keep it if it got along with mine.
Long story short, when I picked it up, it was not a green cheek but I decided to take it anyway. After some googling, I have identified it as a white eared conure. He's a super cute little guy and I really like him so far and don't think I could possibly send him back to where he was. I'll house him separately if I need to (I obviously am right now anyway for quarantine reasons and to let them get used to each other over time) but I would love to put them together eventually.
Any opinions are welcome, thanks in advance.

It's better to house separately. I would also make introductions in neutral and new territory for both of them and I would make the introduction very slow and at their pace.

I have a blue-headed pionus and a lilac-crowned amazon that get along very well. I kept them in side-by-side cages for a few months and put them in a neutral space the first several times they were together. They still have the 2 cages, but the doors are kept open and they are, for the most part, inseparable. However, there are days when they 'squabble' and will retreat to separate spaces.

Thank you guys for weighing in. Charlie (the white eared conure) is settling in extremely well here. He is very affectionate with me. He cuddles, grooms, and kisses all the time. I think he is much happier here than he was at his old home. I'm really hoping that his feathers will grow back (he's a plucker). I haven't observed him picking at them so I've hopeful.
I have decided not to house them together. The size difference is just too much and Kiwi can be very unpredictable. We have them out of their cages at the same time most of the time and they mostly just ignore each other with occasional aggressive posturing. Again, thanks for weighing in.
