Hey so I have 2 wonderful, adorable baby conures that I've had since about May 6 or 7 and I was wondering if I could get some advice/help.
My mom bought them out of the blue after i got out of being in the hospital and I was recently diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder. She thought that the babies would help me out but it's been extremely difficult. I also have anxiety, depression and insomnia. Taking care of them isn't the real problem. Ive been feeding them various fruits & veggies because I read that having them is best as well as a few other things like Harrison food, millet, (sometimes), nuts, sunflower seeds etc. They have a huge cage and lots of toys that they love, have taken them to the vet the day after I got them to make sure their healthy They have another appointment this week (For wing clipping) I'm more worried the other work that goes into it. (Especially training) As well as not being able to give them enough attention. Plus my insomnia is extreme & anxiety has been awful.
I have been thinking about giving them away but to a place or home where they'd be happy. I read they can live up to 30 yrs old. If my mental health wasn't as bad at the moment then yeah I could but I'm more worried that I might end up not caring for them properly. I'm extremely upset with my mom because she just threw a huge responsibility at me when I'm not well.
