My conures tail is all torn and tattered. I’m not sure why. It doesn’t bother him at all. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? His beak is also kind of chipping I read that that’s normal. Do you think it’s connected at all? Thanks :) Btw its my first time adding photos not sure if it worked

Hi all! My GCC hurt his foot somehow within the last day. Earlier this year he got his toe broken by a poorly trained groomer and I took him to the vet. They gave me Metacam and it said that it expired 7/31/19 and I don't know if I could get a refill for it. Is it a bad idea to give him the...

Hello Everyone, I was hoping someone can give me some words of encouragement. I recently bought a Sun Conure from a breeder who claimed he hand fed and tamed the birds. I should have realized he was lying the birds kept biting him. -___- but on the bright side, I was able to save my bird from...
