need a little help determining if my green cheek is a green cheek or not

[azcowgirl]

just wanted to introduce my self, i am a first time bird owner, and love it. We have a 6 month old english budgie a very loveable bird. Also a 6 month old conure. The breeder informed us it was a black tailed green cheek, but after doing some research of my own, i am now wondering if he is a green cheek. If anyone can help it would be awesome. Thanks alot

oh wow, it looks like your breeder either lied to you or doesn't know what they're talking about or breeding. definitely not a green cheek. i think it looks like a black capped conure, also.

Yep a black capped conure for sure!

I'd say black capped also - but check out this Untitled Document at least it gives you a visual comparison. The black cap conures always seem to have that beautiful scalloped effect on the feathers on their necks which the gccs don't have.

A little more unusual, & every bit as charming & intelligent as a GCC. Your breeder may have been having a Senior Moment (I get them all the time!) S/he is adorable
