About Green-Cheek Conure
The Green-Cheeked Conure (Pyrrhura molinae) is a parakeet species that breeds at high altitudes and moves to lower altitudes in winter. The male and female conures incubate the nest during breeding, and the eggs will hatch in about seven weeks. On the other hand, flocks of parakeets in flight will call together and produce deafening sounds.
