My baby is home (now named Jasper!) and is sitting on my desk with me as I type this... We had a good drive home; he fell asleep on my lap and then would jump awake to watch the funny cars go by and have a bit of a snack. Here he is! This is all the pics I have for now... EDIT: those pictures don't show off his brilliant colors too well... when he's preening you can see the bright yellow under his wings! I'm thinking of naming him Jasper.

Thank you guys for the comments... I do believe I am VERY lucky indeed! Sarah, he was exactly 8 weeks old yesterday. He's still a baby, so very mellow. He doesn't like getting the flight suit on so he squirmed a bit and argued with me, but he didn't bite, good boy!

oh my he is GORGEOUS! Does he have other colour mutation in him? His colouring is better than any I've seen on normal green cheeks. You are really going to enjoy this little guy! Jasper is a great name. ;D

Thanks everyone! Jasper is a yellow sided green cheek, and the breeder said he has unusually nice coloring, especially for his age. He has red "eyeliner" coloring around his eyes, which most yellow sideds don't get until they are much older. I was SO nervous when I picked him up for the first time! I'm getting more comfortable now. He got a bit miffed with me last night, but seems to be over that for now... I actually had to put him back in his cage just now because he started trying to take a bath in his playstand water dish, which isn't big enough... so he just got mad.... stupid water dish! He hadn't shown any interest in his toys until I was gone for a few hours today. I came home and found have the shredder toy on the floor! He went through that fast!

Green Cheeks are so funny huh? It's good with the handraised ones they tend to not bite even when you do annoy them. hehe Yeah, yellowsideds are really really pretty! My mum wouldn't mind me getting one when we no longer have the current monsters.

Karen, you should absolutely get a green cheek! Who says you have to wait? Maybe you could just get your mum one! Thank you Debra! I think I've actually settled on the name Jasper though... sorry to break up the fun!

His gorgeous Liz!
To me I thought he resembled more of a Pineapple GCC. His colours are SOO prominant for a yellowsided! Your very luck, his gorgeous.
I breed Yellowsides and none have had such strong colouring.
