The Green-cheeked Conure is a small parrot of the genus Pyrrhura native to South America. It is mainly green, with grey breast, dark head, maroon tail, and blue flight feathers. Normal weight is about 70 g.

Green-cheeked conures are common as pets. They are playful and affectionate, and can learn to talk, albeit with a limited vocabulary. Like other Pyrrhura conures, they are only moderately loud, and therefore acceptable pets for apartment dwellers.
