I'm not sure about the color mutation but it looks like Bourke parakeets.
Are you interested? They are very nice and sweet birds. :)

I have an empty flight cage but would need a bird/s that ideally could be out with my GCCs so I have feeling it would best mean more GCCs if I did. I was just interested in these as usually the spca has budgies, finches or lovebirds.

It is a possibility that your Conures would be mean to a Bourke so I would not had any plans for having them out together.
Bourkes are very laid back birds.

Yes...as I am reading up on them, I see that. One of my guys is mellow but the other might be a bit too pushy

They are mutation red-rumped parakeets. One is an opaline mutation, and the other is a blue mutation.
