Pineapple green cheek conures are a mutated variation of the green cheek conure. They have a tan-colored head, yellow sides, and lime green back feathers. The chest has a mixture of bright red and yellow feathers. The lower beak appears reddish-orange, with a hint of red above the cere. Like yellow-sides conures, pineapples have tail feathers ranging from light red to maroon. Their eyes are ruby red.

As described by the American Federation of Aviculture, pineapple green cheek conures first came about after breeders mixed opaline green cheeks and cinnamon conures. The Californian Steve Garvin, who created the first one, named the bird after a fruit, thus giving it its “pineapple” moniker

How Big Do Pineapple Green Cheek Conures Get?

Both male and female pineapple green cheek conures grow to be around 10 inches long. As a result, they’re considered a small species of conure, making them suitable for apartments. Similarly, the average adult conure weighs between 60 to 80 grams, so they’re easy to pick up, hold, and carry around.

How Long Do Pineapple Green Cheek Conures Live?

With the right care and attention, healthy pineapple green cheek conures live up to 30 years in captivity. Sadly, many owners fail to understand the level of care their parrot needs, so their lifespans can be as short as 10-15 years.

How Much Is a Pineapple Green Cheek Conure?

Because pineapple green cheek conures are created through opaline and cinnamon color mutations, they fetch a higher price than standard conures. They retail from reputable breeders for around $400 to $750, which is relatively expensive for such a small bird. Other factors that contribute to the price include:

  • Age
  • Genes
  • Gender
  • Possible hereditary diseases
  • The amount of redness the parrot has, as this is desirable
  • Other unique markings of traits
  • The reputation of the breeder

Older parrots can be more expensive, as they’re already trained and socialized. However, many owners choose to buy younger birds because it’s easier to form a strong bond with them. If you’re looking to purchase a pineapple green cheek conure, don’t forget to factor in the long-term cost of:

  • Food
  • Toys and games
  • Substrate
  • Cleaning materials
  • Cage
  • Perches
  • Veterinary care

There’s also potential damage to the home to consider, which you should factor into your monthly parrot-keeping budget.
