Accidental Greetings from Clearwater Beach, FL

[BeachFind]

Hello all, my name is Ashley. I live on sunny Clearwater Beach, FL where we are used to seeing lots of feathery friends! Only not those that land on your balcony and hop inside your house!!! Last week an injured Sun Conure found its way into our home and now into our hearts. We have posted "found" ads in the neighborhood and also online through craigslist and missing pet network, I will post one here as well. While the ultimate goal is to find the original owner, my family and I have taken on the task of caring for this little one for now. We just picked it up from the vet today, and after badgering them with what feels like a million questions, we still have more! Anyway, hello to you all and may the adventure of owning, be it temporary or forever, a parrot begin!

Hello and welcome!
It is wonderful that you have taken the little guy in to care for I think you may have the fever now!

Welcome to the forum!!!! Just be aware of the diseases and such a bird can bring to your home if you have existing birds in your home. But its a wonderful thing you guys are doing!!!

No other birds, just a curious cat and a 6 year old little boy who is ecstatic to have a "dinosaur" in the house
We had it tested for Psittacosis and fecal parasites. While the Psittacosis test will take some time it was negative for any parasites, so we felt it was time to get it home from the vet. Such an unexpected overwhelming experience!

You guys are doing a fine job then getting him cared for!!!
