Description
 
Green-cheeked conures are common in aviculture and are popular companion parrots. They are playful, affectionate and intelligent, known as having a "big personality in a small body". They can learn to talk, albeit with a limited vocabulary and a gravelly voice. They like to be held (although some like it more than others) and can learn tricks such as lying on their backs, "kissing", shaking, hanging upside down, minor tool use, and even can be potty trained.
 
Vocalization and Training
 
Green-cheeked parrots are not very loud at most times, so even an apartment dweller can enjoy their companionship. They are the quietest of the conures and can learn tricks and have a limited vocabulary, with extensive training. They can be prone to biting, particularly when young, but an owner can cure this behavior with patience and time. This is normal in baby birds but quickly outgrow this phase within the first few months with proper socialization.
 
Lifespan & Diet
 
When cared for properly, captive green-cheek conures can live 25–30 years. However, their average lifespan in captivity is closer to 10 - 15 years, due to frequent neglect and/or an incorrect diet. This is why at CPbirds.com we take proper precautions to ensure the baby is weaned on to a high quality diet that consists of plain cockatiel seed mix, Roudybush Pellets Mini Maintenance and fresh fruits and veggies.
