Gumdrop the Wonder Girl
(Pineapple Green Cheek Story)

Gumdrop in blue
Gumdrop is a Pineapple Green Cheek Conure about 11 months old (as of 09/07). She goes to anyone and is a very affectionate bird. We bonded in seconds.
She is generally fairly quiet except when she wants to come out of her cage. The rest of the time she is quiet but makes really unusual sounds like whah wha,whee with clicks and whistles. My husband thinks she is a ventriloquist because she seems to misdirect those sounds. She started talking without any lessons from us. She says, "good girl" and "come on."
She is smallish and very active, so active she requires constant watching. She loves to play with toys and is very bright. She would be friendly with our other bird if that bird weren't so jealous.
She is willful and slightly nippy. It isn't a major problem though, you just have to observe her behaviour and correct it. Overall she is a sweet affectionate bird and was the best present my husband has ever given me.
