BIRDS - CONURE HIGH RED
A high red pineapple conure is a colour mutation of the green-cheeked conure that has a more intense red colouring on its body compared to a standard pineapple. It is a variation of the pineapple conure, which already features a yellow and red/orange color combination, and is known for being a very friendly, playful, and intelligent pet.
Characteristics
- Coloration:
This mutation is known for its vibrant, deep red colouring, particularly on the face, head, back, and wings. They have the standard pineapple colours of a yellow chest and red/orange belly, but with a higher concentration of red.
- Personality:
Like other green-cheeked conures, they are known for having a "big personality in a small body". They are intelligent, playful, and affectionate, and can be trained to do tricks.
- Vocalization:
They are one of the quieter conure species, making them a good option for apartment dwellers.
- Size:
They are small parrots, about 10 inches (26 cm) in length.
Care and lifespan
- Diet:
A high-quality diet is essential, consisting of a good seed mix, pellets, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
*Every conure is different and has differing dietary requirements so for your own tailored dietary plan please contact us.
- Lifespan:
With proper care, a high red pineapple conure can live for 25–30 years, with the average being 10–15 years due to factors like neglect or incorrect diet.
- Socialization:
They require attention and socialization to thrive. They can be prone to biting when young, but this behaviour can be addressed with patience.
Housing and enrichment
- Cage: Choose a spacious cage, at least inches, with a bar spacing of no more than inch, preferably inch to prevent the head from getting stuck.
- Click here for cages
- Perches: Include natural wood perches of varying diameters and textures to promote foot health and allow for chewing. Avoid sandpaper perches.
- Toys: Provide plenty of chew toys made from soft woods, cardboard, and paper, and rotate them regularly to keep your conure mentally stimulated.
- Bathing: Conures enjoy bathing, so offer them a chance to bathe in their water dish, a spray bottle, or a bird bath.
