Green parrot but what type....?

Question

i saw this cute nice baby parrot in the pet store and I'm trying to find out what kind it is. i asked the pet store owner and of course he didn't know! ugh well this parrot is all green little black beak little black feet and is probably 12 inches long (estimate) can anyone tell me what kind of bird this little cutie is

Answer 1

Most likely a type of Conure because they're the most common of the smaller predominantly green parrots.  However there are MANY birds that fit that description!  Do you remember any of the other markings or colors?  Was the tail long or short compared to the body?  Do you remember head color or tail color or any other markings at all...?  What about its eyes, did it have a white (bare) area in a circle around the eyes?  Could you see its nares (nostrils) or were they covered by feathers?  What color was the cere (if you could see it--the flesh area above the beak where the nostrils are)?  Do you recall the price they were asking?  (Is this in the US?)  That would particularly help.

Any answers you can give should help us with identification!

And that's terrible the pet store owner doesn't even know what he has!  Keep in mind though that birds are different (nicer and quieter) when they're babies than when they're adults!

Your descrption sound like a green cheek conure. See the following link for pictures. They are so cute...them doing tricks.

Answer 3

For goodness sakes DO NOT buy a bird from a store where they dont know what kind of a bird it is. .Do NOT buy a bird until you can recognize at least the common ones. If you are thinking of getting a bird RESEARCH please, A bird is a long time commitment. . Budgies can live to 18 years,conures to 30 (my nanday is 23 )and amazons have been documented to a hundred years.
