About My Green Cheek Conoure

I have just bought my parrot. What is my conoure exact type? Is it female or male? I think it is more than 1 years old ?

You can't tell whether it's male or female from looking at it. As to what species... honestly, I don't know! It's definitely a pyrrhura but I don't know what species because it doesn't look like a GCC, a pearly, a black capped, or any of the other pyrrhuras I know...

I agree. Definitely a green cheek conure mutation. Pajarita is right though, you can't determine sex or age though the way they look. You can get a DNA test done though from a feather (other methods too but that's the kindest way)

It is definitely a turquoise mutation but I am not so sure it's a pure GCC though - that scaly chest looks more like a pearly than a GCC.
