| This Conure is often mistaken for the Maroon-bellied
Conure. There is little difference between the 2 except the coloring.
The Green Cheek has somewhat greener cheeks and the upper side of
their tail is maroon colored.
They are fast becoming a bird keepers favorite, because of their
sweet personalities. They are the perfect pet for people living
in apartments. They are small, not very messy, they will learn to
talk a little and are very lovable.
One of the all time favorite things for a Green Cheek to do is
taking a bath. You can easily train you Conure to take a shower
with you, just make sure the water is not too hot for them and that
they will not be in a draft when they are wet. Also be careful when
washing dishes, your Green Cheek might just dive in your hot dishwater.
Green Cheeks in general love to eat fruits and vegetables, or at
least play with them and munch on them. they are the only birds
that always empty their fruit and veggie bowls. Of course, sometimes
most of it will be in the water or bathing bowl.
They are wonderful with children. And the children are not as afraid
of the small Conures like they are the larger big beaked birds.
