Since Kiwi has had all her issues now occasionally I'm allowed to scritch her head. Shes a Conure but a blue head so quite a bit bigger. I think she's like your the one that held me and fed me when my head hurt so you get a pass.
Some days she's like nope, I bite de finger, other times it's that feels good, thanks for the help and cuddles.

So, Boba has been here a few weeks, and has been in the bird room for... A week and a half?
i’m almost sorry I did not get a green cheek before this, because if he is typical of how loud they are and the sound they make then I had nothing to be concerned about for as long as I did. In my head I guess I had it that all conures sounded like sun conures and made your teeth shatter.
A few weeks in, and I can safely say that Tteok is louder, although Boba is definitely a bit more shrill. But overall he sound more like a combination of crickets and rusty door hinges.
So is that pretty typical of GCCs? Or am I still waiting for the other shoe?

Kiwi is louder then Pippen when she's healthy and in full scream, so is Puff. Kiwi is a Blue crown and Puff is a Jenday. Thank God neither is constantly screaming but when all 3 or 4 get going wooo boy.
I know what you mean by getting a GCC sooner. A friend of mine, some 40 years ago had a conure and oh my goodness I could hear that thing down the block. So had always shied away from them, seeing as living in an apt.
forward 40 years and lost 5 birds in a span of 10 years, though they were all old, I wanted another bird. Fell in love with videos of GCC but was still apprehensive about the noise level…
Well, let me tell you, Bailey is an absolute hoot, is quiet except for the odd raucous call when he wants out and we are not fast enough and is the quickest learner and most word vocal of all the birds we have had over the last 42 years. As much as all our babies had their own wonderful personalities and traits, for sheer playfulness etc, it’s a GCC hands down for me from now on.
and I just love him to bits!!
looks a lot like Boba, but Bailey is a high red yellow sided, so the red goes up his chest further, but otherwise they could be twins!

All of my previous "conure" experience was just sun, jenday, and nanday - it never occurred to me I'd never actually heard a GCC. So I just assumed all conures were loud, pitchy, shrill, and made my eyeballs vibrate.I know what you mean by getting a GCC sooner.

Boba is, weirdly enough, the quietest of the three. He'll yell when he's trying to call me, but even then it's nothing compared to Isadora. Tteok, my cockatiel, makes a louder flock call!
I can't believe I spent so much time being convinced I wasn't a conure person

Dragon is quiet and they definitely seem too have their own language. I have been cursed out in Conureese more times than I could count. Dragon is opinionated and funny. I cannot get over how much time he spends flopped over on his back beating up some foot toy with both feet and his wings. IF my Gray had done that we would have been at the vet within 1/2 hour......

He loves you! I'd say the going to you when you leave the room is saying a lot.

How late is too late to change his name?
Not that he knows his name, because I never actually called him Boba. Every time I’m talking to him I call him bug or Boba Bug (but said so quickly that it really comes out as just one word) or Beetle because his coloring reminds me of a Junebug.
