Shrek is a sweet little Green Cheek Conure belonging to Andy Bowler, and I thought this picture of him would make a great jigsaw puzzle for everyone to try. Shrek had been busy playing, but kindly stopped to allow me to snap this photo of him when my local Parrot Club was at a display at Oak Hammock Marsh last spring.

As usual, you may have to scroll over to get the whole puzzle in your window. You can make this easier (or harder) by changing the number and shape of puzzle pieces.

Green Cheek Conures are one of the smaller and quieter Conures. They are friendly and outgoing birds who love attention, but are also content to play on their own. They can learn to talk, but have a very soft talking voice so you really have to listen to hear what they are saying.

The 2008 Conure calendar is now out.


Here are a couple of books on Conures that you might enjoy.
