Here are some videos I have taken of my very own green cheek babies, and some of my own flock!
^ This one is of Jack, my African Grey, showing me just how much he trusts me. It has taken me over three years to gain this level of trust with him, despite the fact that I raised him as a baby. He is a very well behaved boy and loves his hang out spot in the kitchen!
^ This video shows Ratchet, my roseifrons conure, and Dorian, my green cheek, hanging out and waving hello like the good boys they are.
^ This video is of, I believe, Pixel and Fortus of my Fall 2010 clutch. Here they are hanging out on top of their sleep cage at our old house. As you can see, they really enjoy a good jingle ball! Especially Fortus, haha.
^ The purpose of this video is to demonstrate that I actively involve all baby green cheeks in the basics of recall training. Pixel of my Fall 2010 clutch is the one highlighted in this video again (she really is a smart girl!). I use almond bits, bite size, as rewards. Also, this was the bathroom of my old house. I am adamant about the declaration of my new abode!
^ Lonnie and LuLu, the parents of all my past and current yellow sided babies, display their affection for one another in this short clip. I think it is an endearing show of love, as love can go between birds, and it is always entertaining to watch Lonnie woo his first and only wife of over six years.
^ This video is what has enamored its viewers with indisputable adoration for green cheeks. This clip shows the many sides of a youngster- playfulness, affection, curiosity- along with the varying personality types that still today allow for uniqueness throughout the home. Pixel, Athena, and Fortus are in this video. Once again, in my old house, on their sleep cage.
^ Just a cute vid of the little ones a while back.
^ This video is very, very dear to my heart. On June 4th, 2010, my beloved green cheek Kirby was killed by an accident with the bedroom door. He was flighted and followed us from room to room, and though we normally run a very tight ship when it comes to keeping an eye on our birds, he escaped our eyesight and we did not know he had hidden atop the door to peer down at us. Needless to say, when we closed the door to go looking for him, his neck was broken and he died within minutes. It was one of the most painful experiences of my life, and though I am humbled and beat myself up daily for this accident, I don't want his death to be in vein; always, ALWAYS keep an eye on your flighted ones, and make sure to double check the tops of your doors before closing them.
This video is in memory of my beloved Kirby, who will remain alive in my heart forever.

^ On a lighter note, here are two cuties from my Fall 2009 clutch, Valentina and Aeden, being adorable and affectionate!
^ Kirby playing with one of our plastic water bottles. Green cheeks just love throwing things off of ledges!
^ The very first green cheek video I ever did, several years ago. Just a simple clip and some of the highlights of having fuzzy little bodies rumbling around your fingers, only to see them grow into beautiful, majestic birds with unlimited character.
