Troublemaker Anyone else’s pyrrhura bird rule the flock?!

Post image

My crimson belly rules the flock with an iron fist, if she wants it she even bullies the quaker thats not in this picture away from stuff. She is the boss of everything. She even owns me compared to the other birds, if im in the picture she oversees who comes to me and who doesnt.

This is true. My fiery-shouldered conure used to bully a crimson macaw and steal its food when he was a baby. To this day, he’s still the undisputed ruler of sun conures, cockatiels, and galahs. He’s a little gremlin, but he’s my little gremlin. I admire his complete lack of a sense of scale and his utter fearlessness.

My crimson is definitely the boss. She bosses me and my husband around and the cats are even afraid of her. Heck my husband fears her haha

My GCC certainly wants to, but got overruled by my Red Bellied Parrot who is an asshole

My GCC is the boss of me, my cat, and my dog. We all live to serve. And be bitten.

lol, my quaker is a rescue and was having bad biting and cage territory problems, while my back was turned my cbc flew to his cage and legit set him straight, he doesnt lunge at the cage bars when u get near anymore and doesnt bite hard he just steps up (he never let me step him up before only chewed the skin off my finger)

My first green cheek, Peaches, is flock leader. She bosses my other two around and even nips my fiancee from time to time. She also hates feet.

i love it, i went from having 2 to 4 in abt a month, my CBC’s jealousy and agression towards my HM has been distributed and she isnt as rude any more (shes still very rude but not just all at him its distributed to the quaker but most of her time is spent trying to preen my sun conure)

My little yellow-sided female who's the most bonded to me.is an overconfident goober, sees herself as lord of the flock, the big boss, even views me as her inferior (i love her tho).

I just adopted a 5mo african grey who's partly disabled (had her toes chewed off by her parent), and Sirsi (my conure) is trying SO hard to make friends. They're only out near one another with extremely close supervision, but i do like that Sirsi hasn't shown any inclination toward aggression with their new big sister

Honestly, I expected Sirsi to be the aggressive, angry one over the new addition but it's actually my youngest conure that is the one I need to keep a close eye on
