Green Cheek Conures
Green Cheek Conures make great companions! They are a perfect size from9" - 10" including their long beautiful tail. They are suitable for most homes. They are 'Pyrrhura' conures which are different than the 'Aratinga' conures which are well-known for being rather loud. Green Cheek Conures are much quieter.
Green Cheek Conures can learn to talk and mimic and they sound really funny when they do. Their speech is a little squeaky and it is comical to say the least. Several owners of Green Cheek Conures will tell you the Green Cheeks have tremendous attitude! They know what they want and they know how to get it. *LOL*
They are a very clean bird and do not have the same 'dust' that Cockatiels, Greys or Cockatoos have. They LOVE bathing and will do it every day if you give a suitable dish.
But they not as clean with their food how ever and love to dunk their foods in their water. This habit makes it very important that you give clean water several times a day
