Loading ...I posted pix of Pepe a couple years back when he flew in and adopted me in Honolulu. He was a wild ‘teenager’ at the time and I endured a lot of bites to train him and tame him down. He has matured nicely and loves all the attention he can get now. He talks in a gravelly voice and says ‘Good Morning’, ‘What’s your name?”, “What’s Up?” “Go Sleep”, and the ever-present “Pepe want Chip!” when he wants to be fed. He’s a pushover for a corn chip treat.
And my low-class friend taught him to make fart sounds, too. 🙂
This is a normal color “Green Cheek Conure”. Hawaiian breeders have crossed this with a yellow-headed “Sun Conure” and have gotten the yellow color to propagate down the breast stripes so they are yellow and red-brown, which makes the breast look like a pineapple so they call it a “Pineapple Conure”. It is a rare cross-breed and they sell for over a thousand dollars here. The cross-bred color failures that turn out blotchy get sold at Petco for $700.
