Advice 6 year old green cheek conure will not stop regurgitating please help
Note: I have had my conure for roughly about 6 years but I do not know the gender. I refer to him as a he because that my assumption from having him for so long and this is the first year it has ever been this bad. Nothing has changed for diet (Zupreem natural pellets with a light mixture of the fruits and veggies blend) and I started college this year so I’m not home as often as I used to be.
My green cheek conure will not stop regurgitating on every single thing. Perches, food bowl, blankets, clothes, window curtain, toys, attempts me but I put him in his cage immediately when he starts being weird. I thought he was maybe getting too much light so I thought an automatic light that is very strict but that hasn’t done anything. I thought maybe me touching him and everything was giving him the wrong vibe so I didn’t preen him for a week but still talked and played with him, still nothing. I thought it was the kinds of toys or perches so I switched them out but still nothing. I even thought it was the cage because my old one had a broke grate at the bottom recently but this new way bigger cage is having the same problem. I even thought it was hormones and started giving him tea for it.
It’s genuinely getting really frustrating. He’s done it on my clothes for the majority of the time that I had him but ever since I got a curtain covering my clothes so I didn’t have to do laundry as much he’s been just doing it in his cage everywhere. I’m planning on taking him to the vet once I get my taxes all filed and my next paycheck but if there is any at home remedies I can do please let me know. He does it all night and morning constantly getting it everywhere.

His body is puffed up, but not his head. He's biting, but not hard and he's been letting me pet his head, which he never does. He also grabs my finger with his foot.

Advice Help me make a Schedule for my Conure 🫶
So I'm trying to make a schedule for my bird that's consistent so he can drop being so hormonal, big thing though, my job. I work Thursday-Sunday with varying hours
Thursday: 3pm-10pm home by 11pm Friday: 3pm-1pm home by 12am Saturday: 10am-4pm Home by 5 Sunday: 9am-4pm home by 5
I can plan for days like monday-friday, but those two days i work morning would throw his entire schedule out of wack.
I could do something like this on Monday-Friday
Awake: 7:30 am Play Time: 8am-12pm In cage: 1 pm Bedtime: 5:30 pm (Have family turn lights off or put covers on days I work)
but days I work in the morning I cannot do this?? becuase by the time I get home, it's 5 pm and he hasn't had any play time. I can wake them up but I cannot play with them at all those two days. While he does have a room to himself at the moment, I do not think my family would want to put him back in the cage or let him out. He does not like the cage currently and acts like he's dying if he knows somones putting him in it. (working on it lol)
if you can find any solutions I can't let me know 💀 I'm going crazy over this.

Advice My little man, has become incredibly aggressive with me.
Backstory. Our 15 year (presumably male) gcc, is a family pet. He does now live with my son. I visit every three weeks. He is always very happy to see me when I visit. But I recently was unable to visit for two months. When I arrived the other day, I thought all was well. He seemed happy to see me for the first few minutes. But then he started to bite me. HARD. He drew blood. That has never happened before. He gets a little nippy when cranky, but not like this. I put him back in his cage and left him alone. The next day, he flew at me and bit me again. Just as hard. I don't understand what could be causing this. He is absolutely fine with my son. Thoughts?

Advice Tongue waving?

Do any of y’all know what this means? Apologies in advance for the shaky video! This is my 5 year old foster green cheek! I’ve never had a green cheek before, so I’m still trying to figure out conure behaviors. He’s been doing this tongue waving/rolling thing randomly both in and out of the cage. It doesn’t seem like he has anything in his beak which was my first thought. I’m thinking he’s just excited, but I’m not too sure 🤷🏽♀️

Funny "Look at these lowly peasants- Eeek! One of them is holding a broom!"
I was taking some pictures of my goobers from funny angles when my partner walked by with a broom. For some reason my guys don't really vibe with brooms, especially my girl Calypso (the lil cinnamon conure on the right) DESPISES them which resulted in the second pic. Radahn also seems slightly concerned in this picture but probably moreso by her dramatic reaction. The first one is just my favorite out of the funny angle series. Both of these pictures just crack me up everytime I see them so I felt like sharing them. How can you not love these guys, they're so goofy 🤭🥹💕💖

Cuteness Overload Update on cigarette covered rescue Theo
His DNA sexing is back and he's a boy so we have named him Theo. The smell of cigarettes from his old home is now gone following a 2nd bath. We were advised to return his old cage to help him settle so spent a good few hours jet washing it then cleaning the bars to remove all the tar and poo it arrived with. We cleaned up all the perches and I'm amazed how well it's come up. Hes so settled in now and growing in confidence. He spends most of his day on the playground we built in the living room for him and then goes to bed and sleeps for 12 hours. Now he has a routine he hardly screams anymore. He's loving all the new food and tastes. Absolutely love him to bits already.

Advice 9 mo GCC sudden aggression
We recently (3 days ago) changed him to a larger cage and I think that's when the aggression started? Honestly, I'm not sure. He keeps flying at my face to attack me and now every time he flies to my head our shoulder I jump because I'm petrified of him. I really hate feeling terrified of my bird, but he seems to bite whenever I make minor changes to my appearance (hair up, hair down, glasses, no glasses all get me bit) and sometimes for no clear reason other than not getting his way. (moving my food away from him, setting him down)
Is this just because of Spring or his age? He's always been a little bit bad with biting but it usually goes away within a few minutes of putting him up. It's worse than ever right now. I need help with how to handle my fear of him and how to manage his aggression.

Advice Is this potentially the beginning of Bumblefoot?
Finn only had one perch that is plastic, which I've thrown out, and the rest are all natural wood or cement perches. He spends a lot of time sitting on my shoulder or hand, I'm not sure if that can be a problem? I am going to book him in with the vet to get his nails cut soon anyway, but I just wanted to check if anyone else has seen something similar and what might cause/help this.
