Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure Parrot

Description

Physical Description:
A mutation of the original Green Cheek Conure, this species has some amazing coloring that is rarely found in conures of its size and price range. They have green wings, except for the flight feathers which are deep blue, and green on the back with a soft grey coloration on the head. Their chest, stomach, and underside of the wings are bright yellow and red. They have this same red and yellow on their forehead and cheeks. The skin around their eyes is featherless and white and their feet and beak are horn-colored. Average Lifespan: 15+ years

Sexing: This species is not sexually dimorphic, which means there is no visible difference between male and female. The only sure way to know the sex of these parrots is with a DNA test.

Origin: South America – specifically Brazil and Bolivia

Trainability: If purchased from a young age these birds are easily hand-tamed and can become very trusting and affectionate. They generally do not speak but some may imitate a word or two. Most will simply imitate whistles or sounds. Like most parrots, they enjoy attention and time with their caregivers and will happily spend all day with you. Simple tricks such as putting an object into a basket may be taught if one has enough patience, and the same goes for “potty training.”

Loudness: This species is an ideal apartment bird. Unlike most conures, the Green Cheek Conure is incredibly soft-spoken. Their repertoire of calls includes mostly low chirps and squeaks. If you’re looking for something that is highly interactive, beautiful, and soft-spoken, this species would be an excellent choice.
