Hello friends. In a couple years I am considering getting a Patgonian or a green cheek. Aside from the obvious....noise, size and life longevity, I was wondering is what is the personality difference? I like that the green cheek likes to climb around you and hang on you, but what about the patagonian? I love their faces and size. Any feedback is appreciated. :)

As far as I know, we’ve one Patagonian owner, maybe more but I’m not sure.
@GaleriaGila ?

I think they are drastically different birds but you can’t go wrong with either!

I don’t have any Conures but I have seen lots in the pet store.
I have only run across Patagonian conures once at a bird fair.
They were loud.
I could pick out there call anywhere in the building.
And that was mixed in with a lot of other calls and screams.
Don’t know about cuddle with a Patagonian but green cheek’s look like 5he definition of a Velcro bird.

Please read the thread
The RIckeybird Scrapbook
Its Gails thread on her Patagonian Conure.
TO counter that, I met another Patty, who was every bit a velcro bird and was so mild in temperament he was a 'meet the public' parrot for a parrot club.
