- Black capped conure parakeets
I have an 11 year old black capped conure. She is my best friend
she is special needs and lives in a tank because she has a feet deformity. She moves around perfectly fine. She also has reoccurring respiratory issues. I had a very hard time finding care for her whenever i go away. She boarded at her vet for 8 days while I went away and had a respiratory issue when I got back. The vet office smells like strong cleaning products and they also board dogs. Ginger is a very frightful bird and I think the sound of dogs barking stresses her out. I don't know people around me that understand parrots. My parents are afraid to take her out when ever they care for her because they are afraid she will bite them. Ginger does bite but it's only if she senses fear.
I wish I knew people near my area that understand parrots so that they can care for her while I'm away. Birds are so delicate so I worry about if the people in the house uses strong fragments, air fresheners, perfumes, Teflon, etc...
Does anyone have any suggestions? I live in north jersey area. Thanks so much! Finding her care is a big source of anxiety for me.
