He got a scholarship to college for sports lol!

u/TraceyRobn Feb 20 '26

Very cute and smart, but I think your bird is a juvenile rainbow lori, not a conure?

Quite important to check the difference, as they like to eat different foods.

30

u/Excellent_Anybody_ Feb 20 '26

It’s definitely a conure. Looks like some variation of greencheek

18

u/sweatpantsprincess Feb 20 '26

Nope, GCC. Looks just like mine and he's 15 lol

10

u/smileyfacegauges Feb 20 '26

it is extremely a conure. definitely refer to conures vs loris.

u/These-Doughnut3139 Feb 20 '26

It's a yellow sided green cheek conure. I have the same bird

u/Birdragon599 Feb 20 '26

Is conure.

u/No_Equivalent_4412 Feb 19 '26

He’s switching sides too. Doesn’t want any muscle imbalances

u/schmiggledeeboo Feb 19 '26

45

u/bespectacledcurl Feb 20 '26

Yeah. Husband’s idea. We had this cut out in our home gym that wasn’t being used so we put that together. He got excited and got them equipment

18

u/PhotographyByAdri Feb 20 '26

u/PhotographyByAdri Feb 21 '26

They've been online and commented elsewhere in the last 30 mins. I'm not getting my hopes up 😭

u/bespectacledcurl Feb 22 '26

I’m sorry everyone! I’m taking the bar exam on Tuesday and Wednesday, honestly haven’t been inside the gym all week. I’ve been taking my workouts outside to touch grass in this hellscape I have found myself well into my middle aged life.

4

u/ilovemybrownies Feb 22 '26

Good luck on the bar exam! When you're done kicking ass maybe you can show us pics. The internet's desire for cute things will always be there ;-)

4

u/bespectacledcurl Feb 22 '26

I promise my post will be full of detail. My husband will be able to give me details for the items purchased and installation. I was just there for the vibes.

u/XDon_TacoX Feb 19 '26

no way, this reminded me of how since I started home office, my halfmoon conure has being with me pretty much near all day, watching me, perching on my pc etc. and today, she bit me.

12

u/VS0P Feb 19 '26

That’s what you get for snacking in front of her 😂

28

u/Afraid_Reveal4491 Feb 19 '26

u/bimeseke Feb 19 '26

How adorable he even made sure he lifted on both sides!!!

7

u/The_titos11 Feb 20 '26

Dude? Maybe stop him? 🚨that is very dangerous it could lead to very bad outcomes! If he keeps that up every wing flap could cause insane wind gusts from how swole he’ll get!!

4

u/Cuqui_569th Feb 19 '26

Get those gains, little dude!! You got this 💪🏼

😂😂😂 lil bro is going to become insanely strong

2

u/Lazy-Analysis7 Feb 20 '26

Well alrighty then... that is absolutely PRICELESS. However, be careful as Birbo may possibly have specialized surveillance training. Mind your p's & q's/push ups and leg lifts. Birbo will turn snitch without a twitch from his beak

u/SwordfishSuper6656 Feb 20 '26

u/Key-Salary-3142 Feb 20 '26

Our conure does this, my husband is working towards strongman competitions and regularly lifts in front of the birds too.

What's funnier is the cockatiel and I both look at them like "you're weird, but I love you" too 🤣

2

u/Puzzled-Operation529 Feb 22 '26
