Hello, I guess I need to introduce myself & my fids. My name is Janet & my "boys" are Conor-gcc, & Mango-sun conure.
I've had Conor for a year (he's not DNA sexed but the breeder says over the yrs she's come to just know what they are.
I rescued Mango around 5 mo ago. The girl (18 yrs old) came into money & decided she needed a bird after she'd seen mine. I found out from my son that after this girl had bought a house, she'd left Mango at her mom's house & wasn't being taken care of. My son, not knowing birds, told me I wouldn't want Mango because "he's probably going to die soon". When I was able to go see him, I didn't want to leave him (he had no water! His food was just thrown on the bottom of his cage, he was molting & had never had a bath!). I asked her if I could take him up to the bathtub & ran water for him. That night I asked my husband if I could get Mango. My husband was never an animal lover but he's slowly learning. Lol! He thought I'd get him that day but then I had to remind him that he had the money. I messaged the girl asking how soon I could get Mango & her reply was the next day! I got everything she'd paid $1,000 for (bird, cage, carrier, etc) all for $300!
I didn't let the two get together for awhile & then under a watchful eye. A couple months ago my bro-in-law saw an aviary for sale. I didn't expect to get it as there was another person ahead of me but she failed to show up.
I've replaced one of the plexiglass windows with heavy-duty screen so they'd have more room to climb. I built two more perches and I plan on making some rope/wire perches to go in there. The lady who had the aviary used corn cob on the bottom. I'm now using that ($20/40 lb bag @the feed store) & I use a litter box scoop to sift through. It works real slick.
I guess that's probably more info than was needed. [emoji3]
