Re: blue crown conure rescue help
Posted by Elizabeth on 6/24/06

As always keep him seperated from your conure - seperate air
space, play time and ALWAYS feed/water your bird first then
the "new" bird. Wash your hands between birds or disenfect
your hands too - and when you are done. It is much easier to
keep them seperated with one in Q, than it is to spend 2x as
much on vet bills...
Best wishes.
