Are they GCCs or maroon bellied?

[anatoly]

Hello everyone! Here's a pic of my 2 conures! They are re homed and they are not tame at all but I love them for what they are and not for what I would like them to be...
I am not sure though if they are GCC or marroon mellied, any ideas? Thanks!

They look like maroon bellied conures to me

 

[anatoly]

Thanks Alex!
They are not common here and nobody could really tell me!

yep, maroon bellied! You can tell by the fact that their heads are so...GREEN!

The first pic is Tweety, she is a maroon bellied. Green head, green tail on the topside, underside of tail is red. I also notice my maroon bellied has "curly" toe nails. Not sure if this is a trait. I've found they aren't as common as Green Cheeks. Second pic is Chirpy, my Green cheek. She has more gray on head, tail is red on both sides.

Yours look like maroon belly's to me. Gorgeous!

When I take them out to the vet or groomer most people want to see Tweety cause they've never seen a MBC. I'm sure with patience yours will be tame. They are really cool little birds! So smart! Mine love to go out, in the car, for walks. I have a little back pack for them. I even take them to Dairy Queen for a little taste of strawberry ice cream! People look at us strange - lol

Anatoly- I forgot if you mentioned this earlier or not ... you got a male and a female, correct? I thought I remembered you saying that you were hoping that they were a pair and would have some babies.

I'm w/ everyone else ... they look like Maroone Bellies to me too.
They sure are cuties!

Thank you all for your replies!!!
Well Jamie I really don't know if they are a pair, no signs, I gave them a nest but they just sleep in it at night! They get along pretty well though, do you guys think they wouldn't if they were of the same gender?
I really don't mind, all I want is to provide them the best care I can!

Gender does not always make a difference ... two males or two females can bond pretty strongly if they choose too. I have two male cockatiels (Galenos and Ares ) that are very strongly bonded and almost inseparable. I say just leave the nest box with them and let things progress.

This is exactly my thought, too!
After all conures prefer to sleep in a nest rather than on a perch, right?

Lyn, Tweety and Chirpy are sooo cute!!!

would love to see more pics!!

Here are a few new pics, they are not very clear, sorry! They are caged birds and I can't really take good pics and show their beauty because they are afraid of the camera!
