This is Pretty Boy, a 3 year old Sun conure thought to be a male. He is now in my house and got his first gloop this morning (he also got romaine, orange and green pepper but he did not try any of them). He was on those terrible fruity pellets with millet and dried fruit bits (with sulfites!) as treats but he will be switched to a good diet (I already told them that my 'fee' for boarding him is their promise that his diet and environmental conditions will change). Cage is adequate but the perches gotta go (dowels!) plus the stand was put together with the top upside down so the cage is literally loose on it (I am taking it apart and putting it back together tomorrow as well as giving it a good cleaning and putting new chewies and branches for perches).
I opened his cage this morning but he did not want to come out -which is fine. He is supposed to bite everybody but his owner and doesn't even know step up from step down but that's OK, we will work on him once he gets used to me. I assume that even though he is in an unfamiliar place with strange people, being here is a relief to him because he has been in his cage, all alone in the house, for almost a month now (the son in law was going every other day to put fresh water and pellets in his dish), the poor thing!
Will tell you how he progresses as the days go by.
Pretty thing, isn't he?
