Big personality, small-ish body, stadium-level volume. The clown of the parrot world.
Quick answer: Green-cheeked conure is a variety of conures. Everything on this page is conures-level guidance — we do not invent variety-specific numbers.
The care below is conures-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Exotic & Laboratory Animals: Pet Birds and RSPCA — Pet birds advice. It applies to Green-cheeked conure exactly as it applies to every other conures variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.
Noise: the honest dealbreaker
Be real about volume. A sun conure's excited scream hits ~120 dB — louder than a lawnmower — and can last minutes. Green-cheeks are far quieter and better for apartments. If you have thin walls or noise-sensitive neighbors, choose a green-cheek and never a sun. Earplugs are not a lifestyle.
Cage and out-of-cage time
Minimum 24×24×30 in (60×60×75 cm) for one; bar spacing ¾ in (1.9 cm). Conures need 2–4 hours out daily and a rotation of destructible toys or your furniture pays. They are social and bite when bored or frightened — consistent, gentle handling from a young age prevents fear-based nipping.
