Our Breeding Pair (Rainbow and Meadow)
Example of Cinnamon Babies from Rainbow and Meadow 
Origin: 
Pyrrhura Molinae. Green Cheeks occur in west-central and southern Mato Grosso, Brazil, through Northern and Eastern Bolivia, to Northwestern Argentina.
Description: Green Cheek Conures are primarily green, with a grey breast, dark head, maroon tail and blue flight feathers. Its normal weight is about 70 g; its average length (including tail) is 25 cm (10 inches). The average clutch is 4–6 eggs. Average incubation is 24 days, varying from 22 to 25 days.
Temperament: They are playful, affectionate and intelligent, known as having a "big personality in a small body". They can learn to talk with a limited vocabulary and a typically have a gravelly voice. They like to be held and can learn tricks such as lying on their backs and "kissing", etc... They are only moderately loud, therefore making acceptable pets for apartment dwellers. Like all birds, time with his/her family will keep this bird happy and healthy. A large enough cage to play and explore, with exciting toys, will keep him challenged and not bored. A well socialized parrot will always be a welcome friend to any family!
Color Mutations: In addition to the typical natural form, Green-cheeked Conures occur in several color mutations. Most of these are the result of captive breeding and are not known from the wild (Yellow-sided being the exception). - Cinnamon Green-cheeked Conures are lime green and have a lighter, almost pale color to the feathers. The head is tan and the tail feathers are a lighter maroon than in normal Green-cheeked Conures.
- Yellow-sided Green-cheeked Conures have a dark head and a bright breast of yellow and red. The tail feathers also have a halo effect to them.
- Pineapple Green-cheeked Conures have a breast of bright colors, a tan head and lime green feathers on the back like a Cinnamon. The tail feathers are the same as a Yellow-sided showing a halo effect.
- Turquoise Green-cheeked Conures have a body with some blue-green and green feathers. The breast feathers are grayish and the tail feathers are gray.
Diet: Its habitat are forests and woodland, where it forms big flocks at treetop level. It eats various seeds and fruits and probably other kinds of vegetable matter. They love fruits, (especially bananas and raisins), and seeds such as sunflower, safflower, and hemp seeds; all things found in their natural environments. Green-cheeked Conures also love table food; they are flock animals and love to eat with their family. They can eat potatoes, carrots, corn, well cooked meat, bread, pasta, plain popcorn, and even eggs. It is advised not to feed them oil seeds such as sunflower seeds because they are addictive and do not contain the proper nutrition. Sunflower seeds and peanuts contain high amounts of fat. A bird-pellet diet with a calcium supplement will give them the proper nutrition along with other resources of food. A good rule of thumb is 30% pellet diet, 10% seeds, and the rest being fresh foods- fruits, vegetables, or cooked foods such as whole wheat breads, pastas, brown rice, cooked beans, millet, etc...
