Temperament

These High Red Pineapple Green Cheek Conure are popular pet birds. They are affectionate and playful and thrive on time spent socializing with their owners.

Like all birds, green-cheeked conures can be nippy and uncooperative at times, but as a general rule, they are among the most easygoing of the conure species.

Although most never talk, green-cheeked conures do well with training and are known to be fast learners. They can learn to do simple tricks.

Most owners say that their big personalities make up for what they lack in the speech department.

Green-Cheeked Conure Colors and Markings

Males and females have identical coloring. Green-cheeked conures display an array of colors in their plumage, sporting bright red feathers in their tails and on their chests, bright green on their backs and the tops of their wings, olive green surrounding the red patch on their chest, a whitish ring around the neck, black plumage on the head, and olive-green patches on their cheeks. Their long pointed tail is mostly blue or maroon. They have black beaks and feet and display bare white rings around their eyes.

Several color variations were selectively bred in captivity, including turquoise, yellow-sided, cinnamon, and pineapple conures.

Caring for the Green-Cheeked Conure

While the green-cheeked conure’s beauty and brains make it an attractive potential pet, the truth is that not just anyone can properly care for a conure or any bird. Parrots are a big commitment requiring daily exercise and socialization, a continuous supply of fresh foods per day, and space for their sizable cage and flying activities.

A green-cheeked conure may not require the kind of space a larger parrot needs, but provide you will still need an enclosure that is at least 24 inches square and 30 inches high with metal bars spaced 1/2 to 3/4 inch apart. As with any parrot, a bigger cage is always better. Provide several perches at least nine inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter—a variety of perch sizes will help keep your parrot’s feet limber.

A green-cheeked conure should do well when paired with other green-cheeked conures, but do not house them with different species of birds. If you house more than one bird in the cage, make sure you increase the size of the cage per bird. The more birds you put together, the larger the cage will need to be.

In its natural environment, the green-cheeked conure lives in a flock. As a pet, it still needs a considerable amount of interaction with you. Expect that your bird may need two to four hours outside the cage for exercise and social time every day.

High Red Pineapple Green Cheek Conure Speech and Vocalizations

Although quieter than most conure species, this species can still be a noisy bird, which may pose a problem for apartment-dwellers.

Some can learn a few words, but green-cheeked conures are not generally known as great talkers.
