Green Cheek Conure - Heisenberg (1 yr)
Hello everyone,
First of all this is my first thread so I hope this is the right section . I wrote this post to introduce you my 1 yr old conure (named Heisenberg), who was sold me as a green cheek conure (when he was 1 month old), but as soon as he grew all his feathers I noticed some strange colours for a gcc. So i did some researches and asked to the breeder and found out that he for sure is an hybrid of at least 3 subspecies; the problem is that I couldn't figure out which these 3 subspecies are. So here's the question: does anybody have a clue about that?
(I'll post some pictures below, and thanks in advice)

Well he is a hybrid of different SPECIES not sub species. He looks like he has maroon bellies conure in him for sure, though I don't have time at the moment to really dig for others.

Ideas:
One of the parents was definitely either a green cheek or a maroon bellied. Possibilities for the other parent... A brown breasted?
Is it possible a green cheek with high red factor and a maroon belly could turn this out?

He's very cute btw. He's got dem chubby cheeks :)

Not sure about the green cheek/maroon bellied question but I think that the colours on the head look like the half moon conure's, the red cheeks he has are similar to the red eared conure's, the problem is that these species are quite difficult to find even in USA, so it's almost impossible to have this three species mix here in Italy
