Eclectus Parrot: Nico (male)
Jenday Conure: Kiwi (female)
I am not a vet. I have just been lectured a lot from multiple about boarding. Disease testing is so important in birds as they tend to carry transferable diseases, and it spreads quickly. Which testing is hard to do right now as Avian vets are hard to come by. It was explained to me that when or if I add another addition to my flock that quarantine is so important, and this should last up to 30 days. Which is something I did do wrong. I may be ignorant for thinking this way but my thought process was that I could bring my birds to meet other birds like people bring dogs to a dog park. I was informed that it doesn’t work this way with parrots.
I tend to get lectured because I have a parrot with immune suppression, and he will get very sick from catching something. I have to take extra precautions with him. Where at the same time I was told that conures are like mosquitos, and will survive anything. They have a very strong immune system.
I sort of was excited for a parrot park, or something fun like this for parrots. Unfortunately I was told it’s a bad idea 😢

I waited all summer to paint that darn thing because I figured if I was going to board them I should do all the yucky toxic housework!
