What is the life cycle of a green cheek conure?

The life cycle of a green cheek conure begins with the egg stage, where females lay 3 to 7 eggs that incubate for about 21 to 28 days. Once hatched, the chicks are altricial, meaning they are born blind and featherless, relying on their parents for warmth and food. They fledge at around 6 to 8 weeks old and become independent around 3 to 4 months. Green cheek conures typically reach sexual maturity between 1 to 3 years of age and can live up to 20 years or more in captivity.
