Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm from the UK and hopefully getting a green cheek conure sometime in the future. I've got a few unanswered questions though.
Starting off, I've found a breeder, they're lovely and their birds seem bright and healthy. They've been quite busy as of lately though and have been a bit slow to get back to me on some questions. I've tried to find answers online but a few I've had problems with.
Questions!
What's the normal age most breeders sell their birds? I assume it's after weaning (weening?)
What would be a 'stable age' for a young bird still taking formula?
The breeder offered for me to go over and help feed formula to some of the young bird when they're old/stable enough.
I've not owned a bird before so I have no real experience, but I know I should wait to get a bird til after the christmas and newyear period if I can help it.
Note: They said at the begining of September that their birds were looking ready to nest (this was the last I heard from them).
Any help/advice is welcome!
