Our Greencheeks

---

Frodo and Maggie when both were younger. My birds were originally all named for Hobbit characters. We have since gone on to Disney and most other cartoon characters for some reason.

---

Frodo as his older married self. He seems to have adjusted fine. They have babies as of 3/1/97. Also are grandparents themselves!

My newest breeding project, fallows.

Description

• Greencheeks have an dark green body and wings with royal blue feathers at the end of their wings, and a maroon tail on both sides. Their head is dark gray and their throats are gray. Of course they have green cheek patches. They are remarkably quiet for a conure.
• Greencheeks are really great little birds. They are absolutely fearless and will try anything. They take to water like ducks almost submerging if given a large enough bath bowl. They are very playful and outgoing. While charming as pets their continual play can be tough on other birds. Greencheeks can talk a little, a very few talk quite well.
• I highly recommend these little birds. They are excellent as a first pair. They interact with each other while continuing to play with you. Some greencheeks can get 'nippy'. It seems more like rough play than a real attempt to bite. Like suns they prefer to sleep in the nest box and youngsters will sleep on their backs.
• Length is about 10". The size of a cockatiel. I have had cockatiels raise abandoned greencheek eggs in the past.
