Habitat
- Distribution: The Yellow-Sided Conure, like other Green-Cheeked Conure mutations, is native to South America, particularly in Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay. This mutation is mostly found in captivity due to selective breeding.
- Environment: In the wild, Green-Cheeked Conures inhabit forests, woodlands, and savannas. In captivity, Yellow-Sided Conures thrive in spacious aviaries or large cages that provide ample space for flying and climbing.
Diet
