New With a House Full...

The only thing I can say in my defence of this latest comment is... I only have 2-months to go, and All birds will be spending time outside for Vitamin-D, and a change in scenery and for social interaction...
I have big cages set-up now and will set-up more...
I am busy, but I am loving it... My birds are taken care of... I just have to stay busier than most...

Yes, but change in scenery is actually stressing to birds and social interaction only happens when they like each other (which doesn't necessarily happen overnight), and when you allow the ones that do like each other to be together all the time (something that you have been preventing).

It is a wonderful day and I have received the Conure with the plucking affliction...
There is bare skin on his lower belly...
We hope to provide a calm environment and suppress the urge to pluck..
I was told that it is more than just plucked, but that area also has scar tissue and may never come back to normal...

I have some problems with the photo and will try again to get it up in the correct manner...

Ahhhh, very telling your comment!

I am still upset that you separated a bonded pair. When I get two from the same place, even if they are not bonded, I keep them together. They seem to do much better if they have a companion to help them adjust. The two will attach to me faster if they have another to lean on.

I don't know if Flutter and Phoenix even knew each other before. Those were the two delivered to my car in little cardboard boxes. Because two newbys came to the flock at the same time they both did better. Flutter, the wild child, is now very calm and sings a lot. Phoenix, was mutilated and has not completely healed yet, has become very trusting. The two sing duets.

Please put the pairs back together.
