Pineapple conures are green cheeked conures, pineapple is just a name given to one of the many colour variations they come in, what ever the name of the colour they are all green cheeks!
Cages
When buying your new cage make sure at least two sides have horizontal bars, it will be much Easier for your new baby to climb up! 15mm to 19mm diameter perches suit their feet nicely. Bar spacing (gaps between bars) no bigger than 16mm. A cage with sizes 18 x 18 x 30 inches high is not a large cage, 24 x 24 x 30 is a much better size. All cages get smaller when you start to fill them with toys! so think big and go as big as you reasonably can, choose a cage with a metal tray and stainless steel bowls, buy right and buy once.
Tinned sweet corn, conures and cockatiels love it, rinse and serve.
Pineapple and yellow sided conures are both green cheeked conures, these are just two of the colour variations they come in.
Same bird, same nature, same fun, different colour!

super colourful and playful, easy to understand why they are so popular!
Nippiness
Green cheek conures are renowned for being nippy little birds, (although all birds nip!) most green cheeks however seem to grow out of the nippy habit as they mature, or at least the nips arn't as hard. In some instances with perseverance their nippiness can be trained out, some green cheeks never nip, it isn't a given they all have their own characters. Most nippiness in baby and young birds is usually down to curiosity, plus the fact that they are rather a hypo breed. When babies, stop them doing something they want to do and you usually end up with a nip.
Like all birds their beak is their main tool for discovering new things, and all baby birds have a lot to learn and explore, this consists of chewing and playing with anything and everything they can get their beak on!
So really nippiness for a conure is just a part of growing up, and something to be expected at some stage of their development.
This should be understood and researched before purchasing. This character trait of the green cheek is a small price to pay for the love entertainment affection and cuddliness they can show, ask any green cheek owner!

Weighing
baby cocky's playing on the scales. |
Weighing your bird is important to keep an eye on health. Average weight of a green cheeked conure is 70 grams! |
Green cheeked conures do not need grit, but cuttlefish and calcium blocks will help keep beaks trim.
Leg ring identifiction We try to fit a colour coded closed ring to all our baby birds (where possible) this will serve as identification in the case of escape and can also be used to match the bird to a dna certificate. The colour of the ring tells you which year the bird was born,(green 2020 violet 2021) plain aluminium (silver coloured) rings normally have the year stamped side ways on the ring.

Molting
Is your bird getting enough calcium !!
Young birds living in doors soon go into a molt, a major drain on your birds calcium reserve, this is a very stressful time for any bird, which can last for a couple of months. Some birds can get stuck in a molt and continuously loose feathers, normaly this is an indicator of to warm an enviroment. Get them a good avian calcium supplement with vitamin D3 in add it to their water or food (dont rely on cuttlefish). Remember their bone work is still growing and needs calcium also feather replacement will benifit and
speed up and the time it takes for the moult to end will be shortend, putting less stress on your baby bird.
Research calcium deficiency in birds you will be surprised what problems a lack of this causes!
Sunshine indoors!!
Providing Uv lighting can improve a birds psychological health, helping birds with feather plucking disorders. Also improves appetite and general wellbeing, ( helps a bird system to produce vitamin D3 in its skin, which in turn makes calcium usable to its body, this then helps with feather production speeding up the moulting process and improving bone work. You will be surprised at the benefits UV lighting can produce..
Always check for advise on exposure time periods.
Definitely worth reseaching!

Purchasing and taking your new baby bird home.
we don't make wild claim's of what our birds are capable of to generate a sale, (eg. will talk ) vocal ability is down to the individual bird what ever the species, so don't buy a bird just on the premise it might learn to talk!! (it might not!!) and you will only get out of your bird what you put into it! (don't just feed and forget) choose your new baby bird on how it is with you, not on what the add says it will do! hand reared does not guarantee the bird is tame, it just means that it has been fed artificially with a spoon or syringe, in absence of its parents ( in our opinion both methods are equally as good as they both encourage a good feeding response from the baby, no difference to the outcome of the baby.) So ALWAYS interact with your chosen tame bird before taking it home. (we insist on it) they all have their own characters and that way you can judge for yourself just how tame the bird is, some birds choose you! (semi tame, we think and do price our birds accordingly). ask lots of questions. when taking your new bird home it will take time for your bird to trust and bond with you, they can be quite nippy bitey for a few days slowy getting less as they trust you more (just remember they have never seen you before) and need time to settle in. once they have they will become more easy to handle and more cuddly, and easier to train, all this takes time. (please don't ask us if we clip wings, we definitely do not!! we never have done and never will do!). Be patient don't spook your bird by being over powering! they are not a toy let your new bird settle in to their new home, the cage you have purchased for them isn't their cage yet, and wont be for a least a month, so when you return home with your new baby bird allow it to have 24 hours in its new cage just to get used to where its food and water is and find its way around, its first night away from where it was hand reared is going to be very daunting so make it a stress free as possible, leave a light on low for them so they can see that no harm is going to come to them, rush this settling in period and instill !! FEAR !! and it will take weeks for them to trust you again (IF EVER). Don't fatigue your new baby bird, they will still need lots of sleep with being so young. (tired grumpy baby birds are more prone to bite!) everything they took for granted with us ends and their fate is now in your hands (remember your first day at work) its their first day on the job! they are now very vulnerable and scared every thing is new to them and its all very frightening, be happy they are eating and drinking and the move hasn't upset them. With a 30 year life span there will be plenty of time for playing later! Softly Softly catch a monkey!
If you are considering one of our baby birds please be certain you have done your home work on the species, (join the (parrot club) or (parrot forums.com) both have lots of good info, and your 100% certain you know how to care for them, baby birds are sensitive vulnerable individuals and are going to rely on you solely for their survival, in return for your care you will have a devoted new friend that's always pleased to see you !

cuddly tame loving companions.
if your pet bird starts to lay eggs make sure to add a avian calcium supplement to her water, (obtainable from your local pet shop or online) don't just rely on cuttle fish, also good when your birds start to moult. Use a multivitamin for your cockatiels if they are not big on fruit n veggies.
stunning high red yellow sided green cheeked conure babies.
beautiful pineapples.
when taking one of our babies, if your not sure about something ! ask !
Is your bird a pineapple ???
The bird on the left is a cinnamon green cheek conure, the bird on the right is a pineapple green cheek conure, they are both different mutations (colours) of the green cheek conure, a pineapple and a cinnamon are not the same thing, a cinnamon is a much duller bird and lacks the bright yellow colour.
Tame green cheeks, cockatiels and kakarikis, all similar sized birds get a good size cage, 15mm bar spacing (or less) various diameter perches (15-19mm, foot exercise) same size 75- 100mm open topped food and water bowls, we feed a mixture of parakeet and love bird mix, with fruity parrot, and millet sprays, try to get a large variation of different seeds in the mix. lots of different fruits and veg. if your thinking of feeding an extruded pellet diet, do not change your birds diet until they are at least 6 months old, (one definite way of upsetting a bird is messing about with its diet,) your ideal!! seed mix ( AS 30 low fat ) or whatever can be slowly introduced when the bird has reached its ideal weight ( green cheeks approx. 70 grams) this gives your bird time to settle to their new home, your bird has a lot of new things (stressors) to get used to. Altering a young birds diet to soon can bring its own problems.
