Need help with knowing which breed!

[Tishatti Toot]

I took over the care of a pair of what I thought to be maroon Belly conures. The previous owners told me this is what they were. Since then someone suggested that they may be Green cheeks and I think she was right but am still not sure.

here is a pic. Pease let me know what you all think. Hope I am adding the link correctly LOL!

i would say the species is greencheek,someone correct me if im wrong but if i remember marroon bellied conures have green at the base of the tail,not solid marroon tails like the greencheeks.

I too agree with the concensus that it is a Green Cheek

Here is a picture of a Red Bellied Conure I found on the web...hope this helps

Yep, that is a green cheek, no doubt about it!

He! He! I think that's my question answered then, lol! Thanks all:-)

Yup Green Cheek! Although similar, yes the maroon bellied has two different colors on tail. Not same color top and bottom (over and under). They are so close in personality as they are both Pyrrhura Conures, also many green cheeks have maroon on their bellies which could explain their confusion. LOL
Very cute congratulations!

i hear maroon bellies and green cheeks are the same species just like a mutation of it like yellow sides and cinnamons

It's species... not breeds...

Good head shot of a Maroon Bellied...


Vs a good shot of a Green Cheek Conure.... a good difference!
