We have an opportunity to get a nanday conure from the local animal shelter. We do not know the circumstances around the bird, but they tell me that when you try to get near the cage, it freaks and smashes into the bars. We are looking for a friend for our peach front, and it really doesn't have to be very handleable... we are just wondering if anyone has experience with getting these birds "back" or do you think it is "too far gone". We had an amazon that was suppose to be extremely mean, and she ended up mostly handleable (on her terms) but not at all as aggressive as they said. It just took some time. Thanks for any help you conure owners can give me.
