Some more news.. January of 2014. I was buying some food at a local chain pet store and I saw this nanday in the store around November. Her price was very high, and she was there for many many weeks. I started sending my husband in the store since i just couldn't see her in there anymore. I told myself if she was there by Jan 1 2014, i was going to make the store give her to me at a low cost. As the weeks went by her feather condition became poor. Her tail feathers were disintegrating and her body feathers all scraggly. I spoke to the manager, a middle aged man, and explained to him that her condition was worsening and she didn't look healthy (or happy) anymore. I said that the price was too high but that I would love to take her home and rehab her to better health. I showed the manager my conure blog, and he agreed to let me take her - $300 less than what her window tag said.
She is the sweetest and most cuddly little thing! (not dna sexed, as none of my conures are) When we were home, i trimmed her tail up (her wings were cut so short already which was not good) and eventually her tail began to grow beautifully. she now has all beautiful feathers! The other two conures love her very much!!! The three musketeers!
Here are some pics below of Willow (the most gorgeous blue front if i do say so myself lol) and autumn.
