judygram Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Look at those adorable little conure babies, they are so precious looking, thanks Melisa for sharing them with us. Why do they call them pineapples and they have a light color beak too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchela Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 From what I could find they are a mutation of the green cheek. They're really pretty when feathered. Here's a link with a picture of what they'll look like. http://avesint.com/ysc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Oh they are pretty and I can see why they are referred to as pineapple, very colorful mutation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 wow i like the colours and i also like the look of the red factor greys you see around sometimes but i dont think it right in playing with the genes as nature should be just that nature and natural sorry for sounding rude its just me i like to see different types but wouldnt have 1 as maybe there life span would be shorter thanks :unsure:<br><br>Post edited by: Fisher, at: 2009/02/22 02:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Oh they are so cute. Its hard to imagine how beautiful they are when all grown up.Thanks for the pictures and the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchela Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Fisher, From what I can tell they aren't hybrids. The colors are natural mutations that occur in nature. I've been researching it because I don't think that playing with genes is right either. Same goes for the red factor Greys btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 thanks for heads up its true wat people say you learn some thing new every day but they are nice looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchela Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 NP! I know that a lot of tampering goes on with crossbreeding etc and I don't think it's right. We had a beautiful hybrid macaw not long ago in the shop and she just seemed a bit slow in the mental department... I'd guess because of crossbreeding and all that in order to get her pretty color. It's just not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I just love the little greencheeked devils. I got my Little green sprout as a baby and I must say he is the sweetest most social funniest little clown. I haven't seen one person that has met Sprout that hasn't wanted to take him home with them. He has a way about him that just captures peoples hearts. My older daughter is moving out at the end of this month and has been begging me to let he take Sprout with her. Her and Sprout are very close. She also loves Tyco and Tyco loves her when I pass she is going to take her I'm sure she would love to have her now but there is no way I would part with her. I really love my little Sprout as well but I did tell her I would think about letting her take him she does love him so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Awwww, how can you say they look ugly even if they are mainly bald. They are so adorable at those early weeks. Thanks for sharing this Pchela!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekkiwi Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Aww there is nothing sweeter than a baby green cheek!!They are sooo cute! I just wish more people would do their research before bring home the sweet cuddly baby because in two years they turn into little devils. that being said I would not trade my little devil Raine for anything!
