Conoures

Green Cheek Conures are members of the Pyrrhura family and are commonly found to inhabit forests from west-central and southern Mato Grosso, Brazil, through northern and eastern Bolivia to northwestern Argentina.

The original green cheek is a emerald green coloured bird with a grey head and maroon underbelly and tail. As with most species of birds though new mutations arise and it is two of these rarer varieties that I am most interested in.

The latest additions to our aviaries have been the Pineapple, the Cinnamon Green Cheek and the Pearly Conure. At this stage I have included some pictures of these gorgeous mutations but in the near future I intend to devote a whole webpage to each that will give more information and pictures, as well as keep you updated on our breeding program and what is available for sale.

Crimson Bellie Conure

Crimson bellied conure is about 9" to 10" long, just about 1" shorter tail than a green cheek conure but it has a much stockier body.  Their beak and irises are black.  There are a white skinlike ring circle around their irises.  They also have ligh gray to black feet. Their head is primary grey color with scalloped forming around their neck.  Their back is mostly green.

They have marron upper tail but solid black color under tail. There are yelowish patch and blue patch on its cheek and face.  some blue patches are on its hindneck.

Crimson belly conure has a striking solid red on their abdomens like a red flightsuit.  Reddish color also develops under its wings and shoulders making them exceptional beautiful and gorgeous birds especially when they are flapping their wings and in a close up.  Its cheeks and primary wing feathers convert from bueish-green to blue make it a stunning little gem.

Young crimson belly conures look more like a normal green cheek conure just a little bit stockier.  That is why we see the term "crimson bellied green cheek conure.  Baby CBs are mostly green except for maroon tails and bright crimson underneath its wings.They develop its whole scarlet red belly right below their scallopped neck when they are about 6 months.
