Hi,
3 Months ago, I lost my sun conure
I had just about given up hope when he was found and returned.
His behaviour has changed quite a bit - understandably, he is more timid than he used to be (although he is still very cuddly, he is a little reluctant to be scratched when not cuddling, and is not very keen for me to pick him up - I used to be able to pick him up most of the time), he has a few new calls and is being much less aggressive (he has lost weight, condition and been attacked, I assume he was living wild the entire time). We've had him back for 3 days now, and already he is acting happier, and eating very well.
I was just wondering whether anyone out there has also lost and then been reunited with their birds after a few months - did you notice many behaviour changes, and if so, as they recovered, did they keep the new behaviours and/or revert back?
