I am a proud new parront of a rosefront conure. I am getting conflicting advice. Most of the time I read that you let the new bird completely alone for the 1st day or two in its new home. The breeder said she held it every day and I need to continue that. I feel like I will give her a day or two before interacting. Transportation day was full of drama but she is calm. But it is clear that she has not warmed up to me. I was thinking to feed treats through the cage for a few days before holding her. Should I follow the advice of the breeder? The new bird is 6 months old. Not much red yet.
On the first morning, I ground the coffee beans and it literally scared the crap out of her. But the second grind went OK. I am thinking the sound of grinding coffee might be part of training her for a daily routine.
This bird has not been DNA tested. I am thinking does it's sex really matter. I would understand how it could be important if I added other birds but that is not the plan. If I were to add another bird to the flock, I can see the need for DNA testing.
There are no plans to mix the new bird with the Amazons. The Amazon pair are strongly bonded and their cage is nowhere near where the new arrival is kept. I fear the Blue Front who is so aggressive would immediately attack it.
