Chewy editorial team highlights 5 essential things to know about green cheeked conures, making them a top choice for those considering a quieter parrot companion.
Compared to other conures, green cheeks are generally less noisy, which makes them particularly appealing to apartment dwellers.
While no parrot is completely silent, their more subdued vocalizations tend to be less disruptive.
Socialization is key for these intelligent birds; without it, they may develop behavioral issues like nipping.
However, with consistent and positive interaction from an early age, they can become well adjusted members of both large and small households.
It is also very important to remember that green cheeks are emotionally perceptive and will react to negative energy within the home.
Despite their small size, green cheeked conures are packed with personality. They are curious, intelligent, and full of energy, often displaying playful, acrobatic behaviors.
Though not known for extensive talking, they can learn tricks and even a few words. Many green cheeks are affectionate and enjoy physical closeness, often cuddling against your neck or cheek.
These birds thrive on daily interaction and attention.
Owners should also be mindful of avoiding environmental cues that trigger breeding behavior unless intentionally breeding, as it can lead to unnecessary stress for the bird.
