Hi all, I was on the forum a good while ago and have come back now as have recently taken in 3 parrots belonging to my friend who sadly passed away. They are a blue crown conure female 28 years old, a male amazon not sure of age, but remember her having him about 20 years ago and a female Alexandrine who I also remember from 20 years ago.
All 3 have settled in to their new surroundings well and appreciating some veg in their diet again and new cages. I always remember she gave them plenty of veg in years gone by when I used to visit often, but as her health deteriorated over the last few years I think they might have been on just plain seed diet.
The conure is a little puffy eyed prob due to vit A deficiency, but is readily eating carrot, red pepper and some eggfood to help with a moult as are the other two. They have also enjoyed some apple and mango.
All on vit supps in the water for now and enjoying the UVB lamps and daily misting. They came from a small room with a smoker so if their feathers smell anything like the cages they were in (which have gone down the tip) then they will be glad to clean them up I reckon.
I don't know a great deal about these 3 species so will probably be asking some questions along the line.
