I am happy that you may have found your birdie 

  I just wanted to throw in my two cents and say that the Green Cheek Conures are perfect little birds that can be little clowns but also little cuddle bugs.  They are not loud at all like the other conures and are so much fun.  I used to take Puck shopping on my shoulder and he'd just sit on my shoulder and nuzzle in my hair.  He passed away last year and we have no clue why...I still miss him.  We have Demri now and she is just as sweet.  Just wanted to let you know in case the Pionus doesn't pan out.  Good luck!!
