Hello!
I'm responsible for taking care of two parrots, a Scarlet Macaw and an African Grey, over the next two weeks for my parents while they're on vacation. The problem is I hardly know anything about parrots, but I've done some research. The bigger problem is that I feel like they have been negligently cared for. From what I understand they're kept in their separate cages 24/7 with hardly any handling, and their diets seem very poor. They get walnuts, almonds, peanuts, dried banana chips (meant for human consumption), and goldfish crackers. They are defensive and I'm sure have a slew of behavioral problems. I work from my home so I can try do dedicate plenty of time to them over the next two weeks and hopefully I can somewhat start to improve their well-being.
