Just noticed that I have an unexpected visitor on the branches the girls play on; it is a praying mantis. I've no idea how it got in the house but it seems pretty intent on the flies that have been hanging around so I'm not going to evict my cool little roommate but I do have a question: Do conures eat bugs? Larvea I can understand but a 2 inch mantis? The girls haven't gotten close yet and have only passingly noticed it hanging on their branch but I'm wondering if I should save the mantis a slow death and take it outside or let it feast on flies if it's safe. Thanks!
