"I want to be friends!" "No" (scoots away)

This lady is crazy happy. It makes me feel so happy.
WatchTheMoss you'd be that happy if you were surrounded by cute animals
@@SolidBedunga my brain would explode *out of cuteness*
Pretty sure that there's an empty Red Bull carton somewhere.
WatchTheMoss
ya
Too much enthusiasm, it's a bit bombarding.
Maui is proof that persistence pays off, I'm so glad that Ginger found a forever friend to go with her forever home.
My hearts hurts when she said ginger is the only survivor
A fancy bird Noah Me too..
Dogs are cruel
Your poor soul. but I'm still in tears 😢 😢😥😪😞 so cry cry sob sob
@@HarryPotter-ed8dh not really
Hearts?
RIP, Noah ❤️
My green cheek runs around the house when kids fight saying
“CALL 911”
I can just see that- a couple kids screaming and a bird just running around screaming as well.
Wholesome
Hilarious
You have to get a video if this.
I wish my fellas did that. All they really do is squawk as loud as they can the second the TV goes on
I rushed over right away when I saw the notification! Not disappointed. Ginger is so lucky to have the home she deserves.
*can someone help me*
I'm gonna get a green cheek does anyone know if these birds are loud
if so is there a way l can lower him screaming?
Demir They are loud but you can gain their trust quickly!
@@dromeda6066 green cheek conures are known to be quiet conures so they are great for people who want quiet birds and if your also a beginner.
the stories of these animals always remind of those kids movies from the 80's where the main character is abandoned and goes trough all this horrible stuff, only to find a great place to live in the end
"hi! we're going to be friends!"
"go away"
"you're going to be my friend!"
"go away"
"I'm going to be your friend!"
"... fine..."
GildedBear yup that's me... maybe
GildedBear hahaha
This is too cute. You have no idea how happy it was for me to finally have the strength to watch something like this. I recently lost my green cheeked conure, Aloha, and thought that I'd probably never want to get one again because of the bitter end but this video is making me think otherwise. Love this video and thank you.
Esther Moreno Hope all is well with you still!
Ginger and Maoi have the cutest love story I've heard in years 😍
Goddamn, the day i stop smoking, I'm going to start a plan to rescue a parrot like bird. They are such darling birds, are so poorly treated and deserve so much better
That sounds like really good motivation! Best of luck! :)
now heres the question
*did you stop smoking yet?*
So nice there are people like ypu!! There are still good people in this world❤ginger is wonderful and so are you❤❤
I love animals and know a lot more about them, when I grow up I wanna work there too.
I'm happy that Ginger found a friend to snuggle. oh I wish I could give them a scratch ( but they probably wouldn't let me xD)
Well, they could give YOU a scratch ... would that count?
no ... not really
Quite a while ago, i volunteered at a local humane society and got to work with a conure (i am not sure the exact soecies.) He was very selective about who he would let near him or take him out of his enclosure. All it took was a few seconds and he was climbing to my shoulder! I couldn't give him a home with me, but i got to see and experience all of his spunk and pizzaz before he found his new family! It makes you feel good when such sweet friends finally find the best homes.
Jessi I'm so happy that there are people like you and your hubby who can take in these critters. I've always wanted to but know I can't. Thanks for all you guys do.
Thank you for taking her and giving her a safe life
God bless you for helping these poor sweet little ones. I have a cockatiel and a dusky headed conure, and I love them both dearly and spend a LOT of time with them. It pains me to hear how many of these potentially loving and wonderful little creatures are neglected or abused. I can't imagine life without my two selflessly loving little boys.
My little bird Justice (Yellow-sided Green Cheek w/turquoise mutation) was rescued by a friend from a breeder who was going to kill him after he hatched because he was born missing his right foot completely and all the claws on his left. She hand raised him for the first six months for me and we've been together for the past 5 1/2 years. He's amazing! He's fully flighted because I didn't think it was fair to intentionally handicap him further. Most people don't even notice at first that he's missing his feet because he gets around just fine. Like most Green Cheeks, he's a ton of attitude in a 70 gram package and I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world. For all the abused and neglected birdies in the world, allow me to say thank you for providing these beautiful creatures a safe and loving home!
That was awesome. I love conures ❤️
Me to
I'm so glad sweet little Maui eventually got through to poor Ginger! Sometimes our pets need their own therapy animals to recover from trauma just like people, and it's wonderful to see them want to take care of each other. Thank you for sharing!
You are a wonderful person for taking care of these birds. I had a conure for 30+ years so know what it takes.
I have a black capped conure, so basically the clown cousin of the green cheek. He's still a baby, actually hitting six months old tomorrow. Feisty little guy, but wouldn't have it any other way.
I have two, I call them my little love conures
This make me so happy. I love parrots of any size and shape.
Omg Ginger is so cute as well as Maui. You are amazing human beings and I am so thankful that people like you exist to save these little babies when they have no hope.
That is so sad. Glad she’s living her life in a good environment now. She deserves that!
Thank you for never giving up. We have a small avian sanctuary here, with over 20 birds of all sizes and species. All of the birds here, but one, have come to us from rescues or the Humane Society. We take the birds, like you, that have been returned again and again after a family no longer wants them and the bird has lost its' way. So much patience is needed. We are looking for a perfect friend for one of little GCC, and like Ginger, she chases away everybody. Maybe someday. Like you, we also keep trying. Thanks, again
My baby conure just turned one this January. I love him so much!
What a sad but eventually happy story. Unfortunately, so many people don't do their proper research to know what is involved with having a parrot companion for the bird's lifespan. Then the bird is re-homed multiple times through no fault of their own. And I have heard so many unfortunate stories about unsupervised parrots biting off each other's toes, cats and/or dogs attacking the parrot. I can't even imagine the emotional & social trauma that this causes for an intelligent animal said to have the understanding of a toddler. Not to equate children to a parrot, but I couldn't imagine adopting a 2yr old child, then returning them to the adoption agency 6 months later because I didn't really know about the time commitment or because they cried too much & too loudly. I'm so happy for Ginger now that she has a human & parrot friend that she can trust.
It's good to hear how much Ginger has improved! When I first got my green cheek conure from her previous owner, she was also on an all-seed diet (one of those awful 'parrot mixes' full of peanuts and sunflower seeds'), and all her perches were dowels and were all the same size. While her feet aren't malformed and she has all her toenails,, she had a noticeable wobble whenever she tried to sleep on a perch (she sleeps in a happy hut at night). The wobble has decreased considerably since I switched her perches (all natural perches from non-toxic trees - no more dowels!), changed her diet (a mix of cooked whole grains, veggies, and fruit that I prepare myself), and started flight training, but she still prefers sleeping in her happy hut or having something (or someone) to lean against. She climbs around, but doesn't do as much hanging upside down as other conures, and she can be kind of a klutz. XD
Otherwise, she's very happy, healthy, and playful, and quite a troublemaker, haha! Her feathers grew in beautifully during her last moult, and she often demands spontaneous flight and trick training sessions. I'm planning to get another green cheek to keep her company at some point.
I just want to put it out there that anyone who says green cheek conures are easy or good for beginners is either lying or has a truly exceptional bird. While our relationship is unlike any I've had with any other animal, my conure is demanding and sets extremely strict boundaries. If you want the amazing relationship, you have to be prepared to put in the work! :)
*can someone help me*
I'm gonna get a green cheek, does anyone know if these birds are loud
if so is there a way l can lower him screaming?
@@dromeda6066 Yes! My Pineapple GCC is now a lot quieter but for the first few MONTHS, we thought we were going to lose our minds from the screaming. It took a long time of not give any attention, not even eye contact. When he was quiet, I would shower him with attention and a healthy treat. They might be the quietest of the conures, but they aren't quiet lol
you are so loving and understanding of the animals... i love u
Oh my goodness that baby has been through it! Thank you for loving her 💗 so glad she found you guys and Maui 💗
Priceless. Ginger is lucky to have gotten such a loving home ☆♡☆♡☆
A friend offered me a baby GCC and after reaching them I'm in love with the breed.
I've had birds before and am super excited about this breed.
I love stories about birds, but especially ones who have special needs. I'm a human with special needs (CFS/ME and OCD) and I helped a citron cockatoo I used to bird-sit trust humans and pluck less, so now I dream of the day I can adopt my own parrot and help them recover. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you for now :)
Jessi, thank you for your compassion for this poor bird. Your joy and happiness when discussing Ginger is absolutely amazing. God bless you and everyone else at AnimalWonders and I wish you continued success in your work.
We have a GC Conure that was given to us by the 1st owner. She bonded with me very quickly. The great thing is she also bonded with my wife. Depending on whether a person is a "bird person" or not, she gets along well with others as well. She is still nippy at times, but that's part of the GC territory. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for introducing Ginger.
So cute how she's chatting non stop while you're telling her story!!
That's a greencheek. Constantly muttering to herself, occasionally screaming.
I have the BIGGEST smile on my face and teary eyes after watching this. What a warm and wonderful ending for this little girl! Thank you for all the care, love, and thoughtfulness you exhibit for all the animals under your care.
I have a green cheeked conure his name is sizzle and he is the best bird ever!!!
so impressed by how persistant maui was and how he won over ginger. well done maui
I love that you are so passionate about animals and that you are always so excited in your videos. Thank you for increasing my love for animals and helping me gain more knowledge about them. Again, thank you!
Almost at 100k! You should throw a livestream party!
Coconut Frog Good idea!!
Coconut Frog club penguin is dead
Direwolf202 AJ it's sorta back
Coconut Frog YAY they are now at 100k I'm so happy for them
im crying tears of happiness.
My new baby is so sweet. I couldn't think of a name. Almost called her Nanny. I am pleased with the name GINGER !!!! Thank-you
NO THE VIDEO ENDED!!!
Aw. Glad she's happy now. Poor baby. Bet she's a really good flier!
I just wanted to say that I so very much appreciate what you do. Thank you so much for caring so lovingly about these animals.
I adopted Suzi who had a rough life. She took forever to build a trust bond with me and was always a bit standoffish to my two other cockatiels ... until I got Ari. She adored him and followed him everywhere, finally joining the flock. Sometimes a bird just needs the right companion
Melt my heart! So glad Ginger now has a human friend, bird friend and a happy, healthy life!!
So cute!
Taryn Webster But how do you feel about the bird?
Well thanks for taking care of her in a loving way.
Ginger is so brave and beautiful.It makes me so happy and her story melts my heart.
Ginger is one lucky girl to have a home with you and the other awesome animals at the santuary! she is so adorable! I have been following a parrot rescue on Facebook that is in WA and one of their new residents is a 10 month old Congo African Grey boy that had both his feet chewed off by the parent birds, due to over stressed/crowded breeding conditions in a breeder-hoarder situation. the breeder was going to put him down, but a good Samaritan neighbor took him to the rescue instead :( so young to have such a horrible thing befall him, but he is adjusting well to life with no feet, and scoots around, and gets lots of snuggles. he sleeps in a pack n' play crib because he can't perch in a cage. special needs animals are the best, so much love to give to those willing to understand them
Our Green Cheek Conure Jack loves all four of us. Myself, hubby and two teen boys. Anyone else he will bite. They are so adorable and funny. He is also missing a toenail on one of his toes.
I have SIX green cheek conures. Pirate (who looks like Ginger, featured in the video) is my 11 year old Green Cheek Conure - we've had him a year now - but he has an uncertain background. We bought him at a flea market when his eye contact and "meeeep" calls won my heart. He is timid and not super friendly with the other birds. I regularly take Pirate for some gentle and quiet one-on-one time, as I am still always assuring him that he is safe, loved, and forever a member of our family. Patience and gentle movements are slowly helping. I will neve give up on Pirate!
I love conures so much that even though my mum has owned them for years and I own one, my heart still melts every time I see one. They make such cute little squeaky noises and are so floofy. Only thing is they are so full of attitude and energy and they never sit sill. How is yours so well behaved?
Thanks for sharing your nice story. You are sweet and pretty and so are you Conures.
I just went through the Amazon wish list and I really wish I could buy all the things for Animal Wonders, I really do
i always fall in love with all the animals in the meet and greets!!
The story of Ginger and Maui meeting is so cute, I can't handle it
Yay for Maui, not taking no for an answer and just giving Ginger the love she needed
I just kept looking how cute the bird is..
this has to be one of the absolute finest youtube channels ive ever seen! firing on every cylinder 100%! beautiful work!
Such a sweet and smart baby 🥺💚
That was a wonderful story. Thank You. I had a Conure, that looked just like Ginger, but she was not really attached to me, because she was a year old when I got her. I really wanted her to be happy. I loved her., but one day unfortunately, Sweet Pea was taken by a hawk and it was the most terrifying experience that I ever had. She loved to go outside, so I was always looking for cats, but I never in my wildest dreams I thought that a hawk would fly right in front of me, and grab my Sweetpea away. Every time I think about it, tears come to my eyes. I loved Sweetpea and I never, ever wanted her to have that kind of death.
Your genuine enthusiasm for what you do is what keeps me watching. Very interesting video as always
I have 14 GCCs and there’s always drama at home so there’s never a dull moment.
Today is my birthday! I know that no one will see this comment but, to the ones that do " I hope you have a great day!"
Efisher Happy birthday!!
Happy five-months-late birthday!
*can someone help me*
I'm gonna get a green cheek, does anyone know if these birds are loud
if so is there a way l can lower him screaming?
Efisher happy birthday 🎉
Demir I have a pineapple green cheek conure and she screams so loud that once she woke me up and wouldn’t let me sleep again AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING! Idk if it’s only my bird but yeah 😂
She is just like my GCC. Always talking while I was talking, lol. They are such lovebugs
Tell the birds I love there talents and videos!
My quaker (monk) loves it when I play your videos...
...at least, the conure videos :)
Hey Jessi. I Just saw your video with the Alexandrian parakeet. There too you demonstrate the bird's trusting relationship with you.
How do you have the physical/mental capacity to give individual attention to so many individual, rehabilitated animals? I think you have a gift.
can't help but simply smile at this wonderful story
This is so cute!! I really connected with this cause I have a conure myself (who's turning 7 in a few days) and my best friend has a starling. Thank you so much for rescuing these birds, I can tell you're a wonderful owner! ^^
I loved the way you told the story!
What a beautiful story, thanks for sharing!
Awww how sweet.
Ginger is adorable!!! poor baby
this was so cute!! thank you for dedicating your time to ginger, and i wish all the best for the two best friends & the rest of e animals at animal wonders!!
I love her so much omggggg
Your so good at what you do! Keep it up! God Bless you!💗
I use to have one, I absolutely loved him.
The breeder told me they are also referred to as pocket parakeets.
Have no idea if that's true, but they are great birds, very lovable.
Great story! Ginger is a very lucky bird!
Awesome story. Very well presented. Great work, AnimalWonders :-)
the story of Ginger and Maui made me tear up!!
I love green cheek conures
the birds ARE SO CUTE WENA THAY ARE FRIENDS AND THAY ARE AMAYSING
Also Ginger is so chatty
After researching Green Cheeks for months, including watching your videos, I'm getting a Pineapple Conure tomorrow. I cannot be more excited.
Your so sweet and so up beat God bless you and Saint Christopher's blessings Ginger is Beautiful and what a wonderful loving home your providing ❤ and a forever best buddy too Maui is so cute im so inspired I have two conures as well Sunny my green cheek and Cher my pineapple 🍍 Conures are awsome God bless you and your Flock.
Wow, she's had a difficult time. I'm glad things are stabler now!
I’ve never seen a green cheek in person, and I am soon getting one. However I have seen a cockatiel and multiple budgies.
I have been researching birds for about 5 years. I can’t wait to get my feathery friend!!! PS- You’re personality seems to be great for social birds!!! I love your work!
Awesome video! Ginger reminded me so much of my late Green Cheek Abby
She's absolutely adorable! Been thinking of getting a bird and doing alot of research, looking into the conure and caique! Your video's are alot of help!
This was the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. Besties!!!!
Awww they are so cute. I’ve wanted a green cheek conure for a while. More exactly a pineapple green cheek conure, but I really wouldn’t care if I had a normal one. Its so cool to hear Maui and gingers story. Thank you for making this video
I thought it was so sweet when u said how Maui would follow the other bird around.😻 btw I love ur channel so much and I always look forward to watch your videos.
My heart! Cute animal friendships are my weakness.
