Hi everyone,
I bought home a baby green cheek conure on Saturday ( Iām in Australia so that was 3 days ago). He has been climbing all over his cage and screeching quietly. Eating some and drinking water. He seems to seek out my attention and climbs up to me at the side of the cage. Likes a scratch on the head sometimes.
Today I took the cage into a quiet room and opened the door, he climbed out right away and stepped onto my hand, we spent a bit of time bonding. He ate a few sunflower seeds out of my hand but took quite a long time to crack them open.
This afternoon he has been very quiet, picking at the bottom of the cage and eating but falling asleep while eating on and off. I just came to cover his cage and found him sleeping on the floor underneath the newspaper lining the floor.
Is this normal behaviour or could he be unwell. Iām not completely
Sure on his age (pet shop bird).
Iāve read everything I can find and watched so much YouTube but Iām worried.
Thanks for any advice
