These  birds   are born with a  very  beautiful muted coloration, the  green  is  more of a sea foam green,  the  browns
 are more of a peach  brownish red  color. In some birds the  peach color goes all the way up   and edge their cheeks.  Their  beaks are bone colored instead  of dark, so are their legs and  feet. On some of the birds  the head  looks almost silver.

Over the  years  less and less people  are calling them Fallows,  but  if  you  hear of anybody  having a fallow  Green
Cheek Conure
in the United States,  they  are most likely  talking about a cinnamon  Green Cheek Conure.

A Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure  is sex linked,  which means  the color  gene is  passed  from the  male  to  the off 
spring.   They are much lighter colored , the tail is light maroon and the green is more of a pastel green. They have
the same personality as the regular Green Cheek and make very good pets. 

It seems  that with  each  year and each  generation  they  are getting  more and more colorful  and  the  colors are
more intense and  bright  than even  5 years ago. The  red  has  gotten a more crimson  red color , and  the yellows 
are brighter and more intense.

As   far as pet quality  is concerned,  they  have the same  sweet  temperament  as Normals or  Cinnamons,  
and  make  delightful  pets.

However to get these beautiful colors it takes several years of breeding ( see chart on how to breed for the  pineapple
mutation) and several  years ago   it  was  harder to find a  Pineapple male, but  now  in  2008   it is  much  easier  to find a breeder  that  raises this  beautiful  mutation  and the  price  has come  down  a little on them also. 

Again,  the same  applies  about each  generation  getting more  colorful,  and they almost rival  a sun conure  in their  beautiful  coloring.

They are stunningly beautiful little birds, with the same pet quality as   a regular Green Cheek conure  and are much in demand right now.
