A collection of hybrid birds from all corners of the internet, ranging from first to fifth generation.
A collection of color varieties developed and bred by parrot keepers around the world.
A collection of ever-changing subspecies descriptions, photographs, and illustrations.
The pictured individual appears most similar to a pure Ochre-marked Conure, but has faded facial markings. The cap is dark gray, the cheeks are green, the ears are buff-colored, and a region around the eyes appears almost dark red. The collar feathers of the nape, neck, and upper breast are pale blue with whitish-silver edges.
One of the most well-known hybrids in conures, Green-cheeked x Sun Conure crosses typically occur as accidents between birds housed together. Although mutations from the Green-cheeked parent are known to change the bird’s appearance, they are usually greenish with darker reds and browns around their eyes and belly. They are not called “Sun-cheeked Conures” due
Green-cheeked x Nanday Conure hybrids are somewhat rare birds that are smaller than a pure Nanday, but with a more slender body type than a Green-cheek. Their plumage is green with a dark bill, gray cap, light green or buff-colored ears, and blue flight feathers. The belly and tail are somewhat brownish, with the latter
The pictured hybrid was seen in the wild amongst a group of Green Conures. The only other bird observed in the area was a Mitred Conure individual, so it can be safely assumed this is a hybrid of the two. Green Conure x Mitred Conure hybrids are green with a light-colored bill and scattered red
Guarubilis parrots are a rare kind of hybrid first bred in an aviary containing both Red-shouldered Macaws and Golden Conures. As babies, they have significant yellow and orange plumage on their wings and chests. These feathers fade with age, with immature birds becoming more green and developing a bright red-orange crown. Finally, adult birds regrow
Lutino is a very uncommon recessive mutation that looks quite similar to the Sun Cheek combination in Green-cheeked Conures (Dilute + Cinnamon + Yellow-sided). They are bright yellow with a white hood, yellow cheeks, and a red belly, eyes, and tail. The feet and bill are fully pink. While NSL Lutino is often believed to
Pied Green-cheeked Conures are rare mutants with yellowish markings typically present on the wings, belly, thighs, and rump. These markings can range from thin and wispy to almost fully overtaking the body, with the latter being more desirable than the former. Pied is sometimes combined with other mutations like Turquoise or Yellow-sided for more color
Dun Fallow is a rare color mutation that was first discovered in South Africa in the 1980s. The variety is similar to Dilute and Cinnamon, being somewhat yellowish with pink ears, light green wings, and bright red across the crown, belly, and tail. Unlike these two aforementioned mutations, both their bill and toes are pink
Gray-green is a developing mutation in Taiwan that is currently the darkest color available in Green-cheek Conures. The variety is often called “Dominant Olive” to distinguish it from Gray-green Maroon-bellied Conures, although it is not true Olive (Dark Factor). These birds have dark gray-green wings & cheeks, a gray cap & feet, a red tail,
Goldenbleu Macaws were first bred by Floridian breeder Cherane Pefley to prove a close genetic relationship between Golden Conures and true macaws. Although DNA studies have placed Goldens alongside other conures like Blue-crowns, Pefley’s suspicions are understandable given the close genetic relationship between them and Red-shouldered “Macaws”. At four months old, the only two Goldenbleu
