what type of conure is this

[loco4feathers]

We recently purchased this three month old conure. It looks a lot more blue in person. It's almost a greyish turquoise.

It's a GCC mostly likely a Turquoise mutation.

I wish the photos showed it accurately ... it's a real muted greyish blue turquoise ... we're thinking its a female .. she's beautiful

I second this - turquoise mutation Green Cheek Conure She does look fab!

Only way to be sure of the gender is DNA test

Looks like a turquoise green cheek to me. Have him/her DNA tested to be 100% sure of sex.

She's 3 months old and we bought her for 200 dollars

Is there such thing as a cinnamon turquoise green cheek? Thats what she looks like to me. Most turquoise greenies I've seen were darker in color.

Wow, you guys have way different color representation than I'm getting on monitor. If she's turquoise in real life than I'd concur with the others, but I was thinking a rather faded maroon belly and was wondering if it was maroon belly mutation of some type.

This website has some pictures of at least the more common mutations: Maroon Bellied Conure - Conure Babies l Breeder of Exceptional Conures

I'd agree with others. Is this your first bird? Do you have others? Just curious

Isn't it amazing these birds can come in some many unique colors? Beautiful!

And yes, DNA testing is the way to go! You can search around (or my posts) to find the company

First bird in a couple decades ... I went through several birds as a kid... I also used to spend a lot of time at a local aviary that had tons of exotics.. from hawks to toucans.. we're real excited about this one and are already looking into buying a female eclectus

Lol... that picture looks more like my bird than the pictures of my bird I posted.. I think my flash caused the green to reflect more than the blue

 

[ConureCrazy]

Wow, toucans? Must've been fun to care for one of those! =)

 

[goldenslumbers]

Yep, thats a cinnamon turquoise for sure

 

[strasia93]
