Green cheek conures have several known mutations that can affect their appearance, including:

Normal Green Cheek Conure: This is the most common and natural coloration for the Green Cheek Conure. They have a bright green body, grayish head, and reddish-orange belly.

Yellow-sided Green Cheek Conure: These have a bright green body like the normal green cheek, but their head and upper wings are yellow, and their belly is a brighter, more vibrant orange.
Pineapple Green Cheek Conure: This mutation combines the cinnamon and yellow-sided mutations, resulting in a bird with a mix of brown, yellow, and green feathers.
