Post: blue crown conure rescue help

Posted by corey on 6/20/06

I have a 3 year old bc conure and also just acquired a
plucked bc conure that i was told is 3 years old. He/she is
not banded and i didn't get much info from the owner.She
said she had him 6 months and he was plucked when she got
him,she thought another bird did it to him but i doubt
it.She had him around other birds also and they seemed
healthy.I have kept the bird away from my other birds and
have him in an area that is pretty quiet to get him
adjusted.The owner told me that he stays in 1 area of the
cage always and i've noticed the same,ive only had him 2
days now.I haven't tried to hold him yet because i want him
to get adjusted 1st,she said some people have held him tho,
but she never has.He seems depressed and doesn't have a ton
of energy.He was real quiet at first but today he has
vocalized more and his appetite is better.I would love to
work with him but think he may need some expensive vet
testing to see what his real problem is so I think i'm
going to give him for adoption before i get to
attached.Does anyone know of any avian vets that would
adopt him and work with him?
Or any other advice that you may have,i've spent hours and
hours online searching topics on plucking.I haven't really
found anything on plucking with the same symptoms.If i only
knew more about his past it would help so much.
