BREEDING GREEN CHEEK CONURES<\/strong>: (any Conure family apply)<\/p>\nTo breed yellowsided green cheek conure you need to have a true pair. When said a true pair I mean male and female. To determine gender, there is two different methods:<\/p>\n
sex can be determined by SS which stands for surgically sex; an avian vet performs It. He looks inside the bird for reproductive organs.<\/p>\n
The other method is by DNA testing; you just need to collect some blood drops or feather samples and send it to any avian lab.<\/p>\n
Green cheeks are easy breeders but it takes a commitment to do so. I start putting up breeding boxes by the end of December OR early January.\u00a0 I pair them up by October so they have plenty time to know each other. This is only if you are pairing new pair. if you have a pair that is proven and they been together for a long time don’t worry; just wait for them to do their job. At the end of February, they start laying. Green cheeks can double clutch or triple clutch if you pull out the babies by two weeks to hand feed them; This way you give the breeding pair time to prepare for a second clutch or third clutch.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
COLONY BREEDING vs SINGLE PAIRS<\/strong><\/p>\nGreen cheeks can breed as single pair or colony.<\/p>\n
I personally like to breed my conures as individual pairs. This way I \u00a0can control the color mutations I will end up with. If you are trying to produce a particular color mutations; this way gives you the opportunity to select which color you will end up with.<\/p>\n
colony breeding is a little easier if you have a big aviary and put many individuals in a fly cage. The only problem, you cannot control the outcome colors from babies. The good thing about colony breeding is you don’t need to sex your birds as they will pair up by themselves.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
COLOR MUTATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\nGreen cheek conure have different color mutations; some of the mutations include; cinnamon, yellow sided, turquoise, misty, pied, dilute.<\/p>\n
Combinations:<\/strong><\/p>\nYellow sided cinnamon = pineapple<\/p>\n
turquoise cinnamon = cinnamon turquoise<\/p>\n
turquoise yellow sided = yellow sided turquoise<\/p>\n
turquoise cinnamon yellow sided = pineapple turquoise<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These are the most common color mutations and by pairing them up the way i explain above will help you to understand how each color mutation was made.<\/p>\n
