Hi everyone, I find myself caring for what I have found out a conure, hope that is spelt correctly, so many variations out there.
I am female 70 and a dog lover, have a greyhound, one of my neighbours has been admitted to hospital, no idea how long for, mental health issues, he is 70 something, his little dog has been taken in, but that left "the parrot" I, as previously mentioned have since established a conure, the bird seems to have been neglected, as was the dog, he could never remember if he had fed anything, we could see parrot food in the seed tray so assumed all was okay, I now see it is large parrot food and think "ruby" may not have been getting the correct food, I went to a well known chain of pet shops to get different food, was looking for high something, can`t recall the full name but would know it, they had none available so got Vitacraft Australian and fruit cocktail mixes, as they seemed small seeds, have given her some chopped small apples and pears which she seems to like, I cleaned and washed her cage, in sections as had to confine her to different areas while I cleaned others, used a white vinegar in water to clean, I have bought some lychees today do I just remove the skin ?, any sensible advice would be welcome, I am just trying to do the best I can.
