Hi Everyone,
We're super excited to adopt a baby suncheek conure. His name is Solari (sunburst radiance in Italian). He comes home Friday. That said, we need help! My son is 7, and it's his first pet friend. We've got the conure handbook, 5 foot cage, 1st aid kit, toys, multiple stainless steel feeding bowls... now I'm scared!
He's a happy conure, 3 months, completely weaned. We have an Avian vet wellness check next week. I'm worried about sunscreen and lotion / perfume. Can anyone advise on how long after we apply that do we let our baby conure on us? Should sunscreen get completely absorbed? Is there a safe brand? Right now, the baby conure licks everything. We've thrown out all our nonstick cookware - replaced with stainless steel. We don't do oven self-cleans. No airfreshners, febreeze, etc. We've got a bird-safe cleaner from the bird store. We're washing our hands frequently. There's no other pet in the house.
I'm just scared about the conure licking our skin. And no, we're not allowing him close to our mouths or kissing his beak. Please advise! Thanks very much!
