Would like to welcome Yoda and I to the group. "He" is a beautiful Pineapple hatched May 6th. :)

How do I attach pics, does this work?

Beautiful, Yoga is. To the forum, we welcome you.

I'm curious - I see a lot of these on this forum, "pineapple conures" and "green-cheek conures". What is the difference? Are pineapples from the Pyrrhura family too?

Pineapples are a specific variety of green cheek, but it's not a single mutation, like most of the varieties. It's a combination of the cinnamon and yellow-sided mutations.

Okay - so it's siimlar to like with cockatiels (normals, cinnamons, pieds, lutino) etc?

I've heard of sunday conures (sun and jenday mutations) as well as red factor conures but I think those are like hybrids?

A pineapple conure is the "same" mutation as a cinnamon pearl cockatiel. Different species, the mutations are expressed differently.


Sunday conures are indeed hybrids, however Red Factor Sun Conures are not, as far as I am aware, hybrids. Hybrids have occurred with RF Suns to jendays to create "RF Jendays", when in fact they are RF Sundays...
