Mutations of the Green-Cheeked Conure are quite beautifully colored! These beauties have the sweet nature and quiet qualities of the Green-Cheeked Conure and unusual colorations. These rival the mutation Ring-Necked Parrakeets and the Australian Parrakeet mutations in their beauty. The Yellow-Sided Conure has the dark shades of the normal Green-Cheeked Conure, with the addition of the beautiful yellow coloration
on its sides and thighs. Other color varieties are now being produced. The "Pineapple" coloration is particularly lovely! This color is the result of breeding a cinnamon Green-Cheeked with a Yellow-Sided Green-Cheeked. New variations of colors are discovered in each new clutch of chicks!

The three lighter birds are called "Pineapples".
The darker bird is a Yellow-Sided Conure.
