I have a few questions (and photos) regarding my new 9 week old Conure.
1st - Was trying to establish whether she was a Pineapple or Cinnamon. The photo with her stretched wings shows yellow which would indicate a Pineapple. BUT, the bottom shows a bit of lime green (I think). Any conclusions?
2nd - She will NOT eat or drink while in her cage. But she will eat if I hand feed her (Solids) at the table. Already eating and liking her blend plus apples, kale, pineapple, etc.
3rd - She refuses to perch outside her cage. I have a playground but she refuses to sit on it. She will only sit with me and on my hand, chest or shoulder.
Even getting her to sit on the edge of a food bowl (on table) is short lived as she jumps down and runs to me. Even if I am across the room she will fly to me. Her wings were clipped but obviously not enough.
I am assuming that all of this is due to her new surroundings? She's only been home for 24 hours. But am surprised that she will only eat if I hold her.
Thanks for any input.
