Ok, so I've managed to adopt a 4 month old sun conure that the owner couldn't take care of anymore. I am a licensed vet tech, and Kiwi, my bird, came into our clinic, presenting with chronic weight loss. All of her tests came back fine, but the owner doesn't want to deal with her now, I guess. So I brought her home. It was either she come home with me or she had to be euthanized! The choice was apparent....
She's our first bird. Because she was SO skinny--90 grams--she is a little developmentally delayed. My only question is what kind of toy do I buy her. She has wooden beads--didn't like those, big pieces of rubber with bells and shells on it--doesn't care about that one; and a chewie, wooden bead, paper thingy, that she also couldn't care less about. All she want to play with is bottle caps and my husband's beard. She has a little snuggle tent that she loves otherwise. Any suggestions? Is she like a dog that doesn't know how to play? What do I do? She seems so bored! Also, how do I get her to eat vegetables. She eats her pellets like a champ, and would do anything for some fruit, but leaves the veggies.
